[Feature] Justifying the existence of the Wii U Gamepad, and why the device already speaks for itself

Coming out of the vacuum that was the E3 show-floor, the last thing I expected to hear out of the gaming press was that Nintendo needed to “justify the existence of the Gamepad”. But alas, that is indeed what I heard! Writers weren’t terribly coy with their impression that we’ve yet to see a truly exceptional experience on the Wii U that couldn’t even remotely be done anywhere else, and they– by their count– certainly didn’t see anything like that at E3 this year.
Neglecting experiences like ZombiU or Nintendo Land (which is an understandable and deliberate oversight), they might be right: We haven’t yet seen a game that both uses the Gamepad in a truly creative way and manages to pass the level of critical acclaim that many people are looking for. But here’s my question “why is that what the Gamepad needs?”
Nintendo unable to secure WiiU.com
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 4 Comments
Nintendo has been unsuccessful in its efforts to obtain the WiiU.com domain.
A few months ago, Nintendo of America filed a cybersquatting complaint against the website’s owner with the World Intellectual Property Organization. However, the domain won’t be going anywhere after a ruling – reached yesterday – did not go in the company’s favor.
If Nintendo still hopes to acquire WiiU.com, it will need to negotiate with its original owner and likely pay a large sum of money.

Ubisoft has been working on Watch_Dogs since 2009
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 3 Comments
Watch_Dogs has been a long time coming from Ubisoft. In a recent interview, senior producer Dominic Guay confirmed that the project has been in the works since 2009.
Guay shared the development tidbit when asked about connections to the TV series “Person of Interest”.
He said:
“Actually we were many years into development when we heard of that show [Person of Interest] for the first time. Making a new IP like WATCH_DOGS is a long process and we started to craft our vision in early 2009.”
Because Ubisoft has been making Watch_Dogs since 2009, it has been in development for around four years.
Rumor: Mario Kart 8 due out in April 2014
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 0 comments
Mario Kart 8 is slated for spring of 2014. When exactly the game will be hitting Wii U is unclear, as Nintendo has yet to share a specific date. However, in a recent newsletter from Nintendo of Europe, it’s mentioned that Mario Kart 8 is coming in April of next year.
You may remember that Mario Kart Wii launched in April way back in 2008. Of course, that doesn’t necessarily mean that Mario Kart 8 will arrive during the same month.
As always, take this rumor with a grain of salt until Nintendo makes an official announcement.
