Tony Hawk wants to take advantage of Wii U
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Tony Hawk wants to see his games on Nintendo’s new console in the future. The skate legend told IGN that he “would love to still be here and take advantage of new consoles as they come, including Wii-U”.
He said:
“[In a few years] I would love to still be here and take advantage of new consoles as they come, including Wii-U and whatever else they have in the pipe.”
The Tony Hawk games have taken a major dip quality over the past few years. However, the series has a chance at redemption with Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD, a remake of the classic PS1 title.

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
It appears there will be two Mario side-scrollers at this year’s E3 after all.
According to Nintendo, the Mario Wii U title confirmed for the show “is based on the Mario experience that was demonstrated at last year’s E3 Expo.” That experience was New Super Mario Bros. Mii.
In addition to this game, we know that a 2D side-scrolling Mario project is in the works for the 3DS. It will be making its debut at E3 as well.

Pikmin 3 will be at E3 2012
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Mario won’t be the only Nintendo IP making an appearance on the Wii U at this year’s E3. Nintendo has also confirmed today that Pikmin 3 will finally be shown on the new console in June.
Nintendo said in a statement:
“In a recent interview, Mr. Miyamoto confirmed that a new Pikmin game will be shown at the E3 Expo in June. He believes that anyone who has played Pikmin games in the past will enjoy playing.”
Pikmin has been dormant for nearly a decade. The last game in the series, Pikmin 2, made it out for the GameCube in 2004.
Nintendo – specifically Shigeru Miyamoto – has teased Pikmin 3 for several years (see here, here, here… and here). We’ll be seeing the project at long last!
