Reggie once again seems to hint at some Wii U news before E3. Toward the end of the video, he said, “we’ll share more information between now and E3 and after E3.” Maybe we’ll receive some information during GDC?

Sony finds 3DS sales “encouraging”
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
The PlayStation Vita has been having a tough time in Japan these past few weeks. Sony, however, is remaining positive. This is partially due to the recent success of the 3DS.
SCEE president and CEO Jim Ryan told MCV that the 3DS’ big sales during Christmas “is confounding the naysayers who say that there is no room in the market for a dedicated handheld gaming device.” Ryan’s comment was likely in response to analyst predictions that handhelds made for gaming – like the 3DS and Vita – will eventually be phased out.
Ryan’s full remarks are as follows:
“One of the encouraging things about 3DS’ sales performance at Christmas is that it is confounding the naysayers who say that there is no room in the market for a dedicated handheld gaming device. And to that extent we were encouraged by how 3DS did over the last month.”
Ryan also said that “There are two distinct markets” when asked if the appetite for 3DS poses a danger to Vita.

A look at Wii U’s “hidden” demo
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Nintendo had a number of Wii U demos on hand at last year’s E3. The company brought along experiences such as Battle Mii, Find Mii, and the Zelda HD display.
There was one additional demo – dubbed by Nintendo fans as the Tokyo Street demo – that only a few journalists seemed to mention. Additionally, no one managed to capture footage of the experience, supposedly due to the fact that it was being shown behind closed-doors.
Thankfully, CES has given the press with more hands-on time with the Wii U. Someone was able to capture a little bit of footage this time around.
The Tokyo Street demo puts the camera a few feet in the air and the viewpoint continuously moves down a street in a linear path – this happens directly on the television. Users are able to get a less restricted look of the area by moving the Wii U controller in all sorts of directions. Players can rotate the tablet, move it up/down (see the sky/more towards the ground), and more. By pressing a button, the Wii U controller essentially becomes a rear-view mirror, letting users see what’s behind them.
You can find a few screengrabs of the Tokyo Street demo in the gallery above. Footage can be found at the 2:38 mark here.
