Promising Wii U title, The Wonderful 101 finally gets a wonderful release date

Nintendo has finally announced that the Wii U exclusive game, The Wonderful 101, will be available in Europe from August 23 and North America on September 15. This news comes from today’s Nintendo Direct presentation. Although I thought we would be playing The Wonderful 101 a bit earlier, it is great to finally hear a solid release date for this upcoming Wii U game. I plan on getting this one when it is release later this year.

What do you guys think?

Quick Update: Nintendo Bringing E3 2013 Wii U Games to Best Buy

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.

During today’s Nintendo Direct, the New Super Luigi U release date was revealed. New Super Luigi U will release in North America on June 20 and Europe on July 26. In addition to Luigi, users can play as Nabbit in multiplayer mode. A disc-release is also planned, and will come in August.

The standalone DLC for New Super Luigi will cost $19.99 while the retail version of the title will go for $29.99. It’s a very attractive price point for Wii U owners and looks to be a great title for the system.

“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.

The games really are co...

One of the biggest titles headed to home consoles this year is going to be UbiSoft’s amazing Watch Dogs game. The title looks like a crazy GTA and is going to hit every home console known to man. When it was first displayed during last year’s E3 press conference, everyone seemed to really lock onto this one and we cannot wait to get our hands on it later this year.

If you are looking forward to the title, be sure to check out this Watch Dogs – New Gameplay ‘Free-Roaming’ Footage and let me know if you plan on getting this one when it’s released. I cannot wait to hear more about this game and will be getting it for Wii U when it’s released.

Enjoy the new Watch Dogs footage everyone.

Watch Dogs will is set to release on November 19th in North America and is headed to PlayStation 3, Xbo...

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed Sales Update for Wii U

SEGA has revealed that the outstandingly fun Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed has sold a total os 310,000 copies on the Wii U. The numbers are pretty solid and SEGA has to be pleased with its first karting outing on Nintendo’s latest.

The Nintendo 3DS version of the game didn’t fare too badly either, shifting around 190,000 copies overall. SEGA also announced that it has sold a total of 1.36 million sales of the game in the United States and Europe. Not too shabby if you ask me.

Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed came out last year and was reviewed very nicely. The game made its way onto the Nintendo Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, XBOX 360 and PS3.
