EA will be having a huge presence at GDC this year. The company will be live-streaming a “Game Changers” event at the show, which will be filled with announcements and trailers.
EA’s conference will be taking place on March 6, the second day of GDC.
At this time, it isn’t known if the company will have anything Nintendo-related to show. But surely they’ll have something for the Wii or 3DS… right? At the very least, they should mention Madden.
EA already has a countdown running here. Visit that page on March 6 at 8 PM PST (11 PM EST) for the live-stream.

Nintendo hasn’t sent out a press release for the latest Nintendo Download, but I can confirm that these games will be available on the digital stores today.
A September 2011 patent filed by Nintendo may provide some insight as to what sort of features the company was considering for the Wii U.
Much of the interesting tidbits pertain to the console’s controller. It seems that Nintendo has been experimenting with 3D and an HD display for the console’s innovative controller.
A quick rundown of the patent’s more noteworthy details can be found below.
– Could come with voice recognition software
– Players could give voice commands in-game
– “one or more additional microphones…may be provided on the front and/or back surfaces” of the controller
– Controller’s camera could recognize a face/parts of a person’s face
– This face data could be stored in Wii U’s main memory
– Wii U could be used as a videophone “exchanging images and sound”
– Hints that Skype/Skype-like service was being considered for Wii U; may still be possible
– Peripheral attachment examples: “a game-specific controller (gun-shaped controller, etc.) or an input device such as a keyboard”
– Wii U “might” feature a 3D display
– Wii U controller “might” feature an HD display (controller is sub-HD resolution of 850x or so)
Thanks to Captain N for the tip!
