The trend these days are tablets. If you use a laptop in this day and age you are relic from a bygone era. Why don’t you go program your VCR and turn the dial on your black and white TV, while checking the correct time on your rotary phone, Neanderthal? What was I talking about?
Update 2: In the official press release, only Gamestop and Nintendo’s website will be carrying the title for $49.99. I guess it’s time to cancel my Monado pre-order.
Update: Nintendo has posted on their Facebook page that Xenoblade Chronicles is indeed confirmed for next year. It hasn’t divulged any details beyond that, so the date on the now much more plausible picture of the Gamestop Listing has not been confirmed nor the possible Gamestop exclusive distribution nature of the game. Although, a Nintendo product page for the title has April 2012 as its release date adding even more legitimacy to that picture. We will keep you up to date on any new information on this matter.
The whole motion control era has sparked a seeming cavalcade of lawsuits claiming patent infringement, and Nintendo (along with EA, Namco Bandai, Konami, Ubisoft and Majesco ) is on the receiving end yet again.
It seems yet another company is bringing suit against Nintendo, this time with regards to the Wii. ThinkOptic, a firm that develops the Wavit Remote has filed a lawsuit alleging patent infringement.
Microsoft and LucasArts have confirmed the postponement of Kinect Star Wars. The game was announced and displayed at E3 during Microsoft’s heavily Kinect focused media briefing. Kinect Star Wars was schedule to be released during the holiday season.
The European E3, better known as Gamescom, is underway right now, and as usual, Nintendo is nowhere to be found. That, however, isn’t stopping them from announcing anything new. Continuing Zelda’s grand old tradition of giving gamers something to do to work off their turkey comas, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword will be coming out on November 20th.
Not only is it Zelda’s 25th anniversary, but did you know it’s also Metroid’s 25th as well? Why no E3 announcement about that little milestone, Nintendo? Usually on anniversaries I write a tribute article chronicling the history of a series, but I already did one for Metroid two years ago.
The Assassin’s Creed name showed up in the many clips of industry luminaries testifying for Nintendo Wii U’s controller showed during their E3 press conference, and given how the other big franchise names that showed up during this clip was revealed to have a sku for the Wii U, one could assume that an Assassin’s Creed Revelations WiiU port will also be forthcoming. Yves Guillemot has cleared that up in a recent interview.
Sick of Final Fantasy IV re-releases yet? Thankfully, Square Enix may be too because this week’s re-release of a Final Fantasy game, coming to the Wii’s Virtual Console, isn’t Final Fantasy IV but Final Fantasy VI – or as we know it when it was first released back in 1994 here, Final Fantasy III.
Early reports of Nintendo’s upcoming console, the Wii U, pegged it as on par with the Xbox 360 and the PS3. Given the fact that the third party game footage at Nintendo’s E3 press conference used Xbox 360 and PS3 assets, it all but confirmed those assumptions. It turns out that we may be underestimating the system.
