Nintendo Wii U eShop: Puddle Review

puddle

Although Puddle came out back in January, I didn’t get a chance to experience this Nintendo Wii U eShop title until recently. Puddle for Wii U has players experience a beautifully designed physics-based puzzle/platform game where they must guide a puddle of fluid to its target destination. Players tilt the game environment itself and not the actual fluid.

Does this game make it rain, or will this eShop title dry up in the sun? Read on and find out.

Here is The official box art for The Wonderful 101. Earlier today it was announced that the Wii U exclusive title is headed to retail on September 15th for North America and on August 23 in Europe. Although I think it’s a HUGE mistake launching this game during “GTAV” week, I will be picking this one up regardless of when it’s released. The Wonderful 101 just looks to darn sweet to me.

Do you like the official box art for the game? Let me know in the comment section.

During today’s Nintendo Direct broadcast, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has announced that players will be able to sample some of the games that Nintendo showcases at E3 2013 at select Best Buy locations throughout the United States. It’s a way of Nintendo’s way of bringing E3 to its fan-base and I really hope that one of the select Best Buy locations is one in my hometown. I think this is a very smart move by Nintendo and should extend the awareness for Wii U.

Why Nintendo Will Win E3 2013

wiiu

“The games are coming, we promise…” How many times have we heard that from Nintendo?  While I have been enjoying my Wii U since its release, there has been a lack of truly engaging games since the systems launch and only a smattering of great titles have released for the system this year. The Wii U eShop has shown it can be a force to be reckoned with but consumers did not plop down $300+ to just toil around with this awesome channel. People want compelling games for their Wii U and are starting to get fed up with Nintendo for not delivering.

This year’s E3 is going to have to be a big one for Nintendo and here is why Nintendo will win E3 2013.
