[Feature] Justifying the existence of the Wii U Gamepad, and why the device already speaks for itself
Posted on 10 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Features, General Gaming, General Nintendo, Wii U | 22 Comments
Author: Austin
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 10 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.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution – Director’s Cut will include improved visuals, enhanced AI, reworked bosses, and more. All of these changes and additions – along with the functionality offered by the Wii U GamePad – make Director’s Cut “the ultimate version of the game.”
According to game designer Emile Pedneault:
Ubisoft has been working on Watch_Dogs since 2009
Posted on 10 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.
