I haven’t heard anything about this, but apparently there are Kingdom Hearts 3D AR cards that people were drooling over, and now those people can finally get their hands on them- that is, if they live in the U.K. Club Nintendo across the pond will begin carrying the cards on August 22nd, which is tomorrow if you’re reading this post the day it’s posted.
It’s a pack of three cards that can be used to recruit ‘Spirits’ into your game, and every pack includes the same three cards.
You can add Adam Sessler to the long list of Wii U doubters.
Sessler, previously a co-host of G4’s X-Play, is starting to wonder if the console will actually launch this year and isn’t sure if it will “provide the needed stimulation to the industry.”
He wrote on Twitter today:
“…Also….increasing confident that the WiiU will a) not come out this year. b)will not provide the needed stimulation to the industry. I will probably eat my words on one of those points. By then I hope to have a video platform to apologize on. Selling console this Nov. with a price north of Borderlands, AC3, Halo 4 and CoD combined and announcing in Sept?”
It’s very unlikely at this point that Nintendo will delay the launch of Wii U to 2013. With the Wii, Nintendo announced the console’s release date and price in September, and it ended up hitting store shelves in November. This pattern will likely hold true for the Wii U.
This week’s GameStop deals are as follows:
I have to admit, this is pretty darn impressive. Remember: Atari 2600 is a much different system compared to the NES, and it has many more limitations than Nintendo’s classic console. Its creator says that the finished product is “pretty close” to Super Mario Bros.
16 levels are included in this “demo” – World 1-1 through 4-4. Again, there are limitations that prevent it from being an exact clone, but it’s still incredibly neat.
There’s lots of additional information here.

Nintendo Power will continue on with a few more issues, but the print magazine will officially be shut down in December.
A statement provided by Nintendo reads:
“Nintendo can confirm that Future US will end the production of Nintendo Power magazine with the last issue slated for December 2012.”
CVG still stands by its original statement that “Future Publishing is also considering how and if it should take Nintendo Power in a new digital direction”. Nothing has been announced on this front, however.
It’s still not entirely clear how Future will be handling on-going subscriptions, but you should visit the customer service page for more information.
