The handy comparison above shows a screen size comparison of the 3DS XL and PlayStation Vita. What can’t be shown in the photo is that the Vita has a higher pixel density. It’s 960 x 544 for the Vita screen and 400 x 240 for the 3DS’ top screen.
I was hoping Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion would get a little more attention at this year’s E3. It looks pretty neat.
Wii U is the first console from Nintendo to implement extensive social and online elements. Miiverse will allow gamers all over the world to connect with each other simply by booting up the console. You’ll be able to communicate with players through text messages, voice chat, and more.
So how did this ambitious program come about? According to Shigeru Miyamoto, it all started with Wii Fit.

“There were a whole lot of requests from Mario Club. All the requests that we got were spot on. They really know what they’re talking about, because they have a lot of skill and knowledge. In a way, what we created was fine, but it was still rough around the edges. But I think by going through Nintendo, it really took out the unnecessary parts and refined it as a game.
Refinement is one of the most important aspects. The Nintendo influence was big, in a good way; at the same time it gave me confidence that if I really pushed my boundaries harder, then I can get to this level on my own.” ~ Takuya Matsumoto
It doesn’t surprise me at all that Nintendo lent a hand, given that a lot was expected of this game and they NEEDED something good to keep the Wii going even a tiny bit. Not that it’s really going at all, anyhow…
Just got an e-mail about it so I figured I’d share with you guys. You can vote on what the box art will be on their official Facebook page for the game, which is worth a like whether you vote or not.
That’s it. Short post.
How are you guys?

Some backstory first: CEDEC, the Computer Entertainment Developers Conference, is a yearly conference to be held on August 20th that has cool people talk about cool things to less-cool people who wanna learn about cool things.
Sort of. I may be misinterpreting a bit.
Anyway, this year’s CEDEC will be ‘headlined’ by Smash Bros., Kid Icarus, and Kirby developer Masahiro Sakurai, who’s going to be doing a good chunk of the talking alongside Yuichiro Anzai, chairman of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, and Yuusei Uesugi, senior artist at Industrial Light & Magic. Good times to be had by all!
