A couple of folks over at Sony shared some not-so-nice comments pertaining to Nintendo in recent interviews.
First, while speaking with Red Bull, Sony’s Fergal Gara said that the Wii “is a shadow of its former self.” Gara was reflecting on the future of the PlayStation 4 and appealing to a mass market.
Elsewhere in an interview with IGN, Sony Computer Entertainment America president/CEO Shawn Layden stated that he believes the PlayStation Vita offers the best portable gaming experience – even more so than what Nintendo is doing with 3DS.
“I believe that Vita is the best handheld gaming experience, full stop, period. Nothing comes close to that. You can talk about your mobile, you can talk about your tablet, you can talk about, you know, Nintendo platforms or what have you in the handheld space. I think, pound-for-pound, buck-for-buck, Vita is the best gaming experience you can have.”

Death Jr. came to the DS back in 2007 as a 3D platformer. However, it appears that there were originally very different plans for the project.
Mike Mika, who worked on a DS prototype of Death Jr., revealed on Twitter today that there were initially plans to make a 2D Metroidvania style game. Two players would have been supported.
I worked on Death, Jr. PSP. We wanted to go to DS. So I started to make a 2D/2P Metroidvania style game. Prototype. http://t.co/OaHkiRjUIX

Wii U celebrates its second birthday
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 28 Comments
Nintendo first launched the Wii U in North America on November 18, 2012. You know what that means! Yup – the Wii U is now two years old. Happy birthday, Wii U!
What were your first Wii U memories like? Mine weren’t as exciting compared to when I went out to purchase the Wii and stood on line at Best Buy for several hours. I reserved the 32GB console at GameStop, but since there were no midnight launches, I simply picked up the console in the morning. Still, playing Nintendo Land was a lot of fun!
