Ubisoft’s Uplay service affords a variety of functionality. It acts as a digital distribution platform, as well as a multiplayer and achievement tracker that has been used in mos to the company’s recent games.

Uplay won’t be compatible with Wii U immediately. But according to Ubisoft president Yves Guillemot, he’s hoping it’ll be ready sometime after launch.

“We hope to have a good connection with their systems because Nintendo has been very open to us and allowed us to use our systems to communicate with our customers.”

A few days ago, the first review of Nintendo Land arrived from the latest issue of GamesMaster. The publication handed out an 86% score.

Along with the review of the overall game, GamesMaster provided individual write-ups and ratings for each mini-game included in Nintendo Land. Reader joclo typed up that information from the magazine – see below.

Animal Crossing Sweet Day – 5/5

“Sweet Day may look like it’s saccharine simplicity – but there’s a raw tactical edge beneath the happy smiles.”

The Legend of Zelda Battle Quest – 3/5

“Battle Quest isn’t as patchwork as the art-style would suggest…”

Reading through the press release for Nintendo’s “Nintendo World Store Launch Event Bonanza (feat. Reggie)” (paraphrased title), I came across a couple of pretty interesting tidbits. If you weren’t planning on going to the event, you may want to reconsider in light of these minor details:

– NoA president Reggie Fils-Aimee will be there, and he’ll sell the first person in line the very first Wii U
– Prizes and swag will be given away to people waiting in line
– Limited edition T-shirts will be sold, with all proceeds going to the American Red Cross

Sounds like quite the event to me! Unfortunately you won’t be able to get the very first Wii U since legendary queue-er Isaiah “Triforce” Johnson is already waiting, but you might be able to see Reggie and get a great t-shirt! Someone tell Valay to get his butt down there!
