Asda drops Wii U price to £149 / £199

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments

The Wii U is available once again at a relatively cheap price in the UK.

Consumers can now purchase the Basic Pack for £149 or the Premium Pack for £199. The latter is currently out of stock online.

This isn’t the first time that Asda slashed the Wii U’s price. The retailer made a similar move in March, though only dropped each model by £50.

Nintendo says there’s a big advertising push for Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D in the UK, want “everyone” to know that DK is back

Posted on 12 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments

“Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D is yet another huge release in 2013 for Nintendo 3DS. Retro Studios has done an incredible job of replicating the classic gameplay of previous Donkey Kong titles on Super Nintendo, whilst at the same time bringing them up to date and adding many new twists and turns.

“Donkey Kong titles have always been enjoyed by all ages for generations and we expect this one to be no different.”

– Nintendo UK product manager, Roger Langford

It’s interesting: Initially this sounds like regular old PR talk, but if you think about it, Donkey Kong isn’t really the character that’s in the forefront of people’s minds when it comes to Nintendo. Any kid who’s thinking about Donkey Kong probably has a reference point of something like Smash Bros. or (even less likely) Donkey Kong in arcades or on the Wii virtual console. Most people don’t know that the ape has starred in some of the best platformers of our time, and I think that’s definitely worth spreading the word about!

Madden NFL 25 officially skipping Wii U, becomes first Madden to skip Nintendo platforms since 1991

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments

EA never confirmed Madden NFL 25 for Wii U when the title was officially announced, but there was hope that it could be happening further down the line. As it turns out, the publisher simply has no plans to bring the latest Madden NFL to Nintendo’s console.

A statement sent out by EA reads:

“We will not be releasing a Wii U version of Madden NFL in 2013. However, we have a strong partnership with Nintendo and will continue to evaluate opportunities for delivering additional Madden NFL products for Nintendo fans in the future.”

Amazingly, Madden NFL 25 marks the first entry to be skipping Nintendo platforms since 1991. EA must have been extremely disappointed with Madden NFL 13’s sales to ditch the system for this year’s release.
