Zelda Wii U was one of the clear absentees of E3 In a Nintendo Digital conference that could have sorely needed it, the game could have really livened up proceedings. There's a reason for the game didn't show too, and you aren't going to like it It seems Zelda is pretty far off For what was meant[...]

Star Fox is probably one of the only series I get genuinely nostalgic about so the fact that we now have seen the long awaited Star Fox Wii U game has me buzzing. The game is called Star Fox Zero, is being design by Shigeru Miyamoto and it is coming Holiday 2015 This trailer shows old friends[...]

Nintendo have always been pretty iffy on including voice chat in their games. I had many frustrating nights talking to someone in the Mario Kart 8 lobby

The other day, Nintendo opened a submission form where fans could make suggestions about new characters Nintendo should include in upcoming Super Smash

3 and New Super Mario Wii U. Giving that tool over to a community that have been playing Mario games for nigh on 30 years now could create some powerful experiences Last night during Nintendo Direct, we got a release window too, announcing that the game would hit during September.

In a move that should surprise no one, Nintendo have today announced that the untitled Zelda Wii U game is getting pushed out of 2015. In a video message to fans, the game's producer Eiji Aonuma addressed the problem directly saying: I must apologize to all of you who were expecting the game by year's end, but we are[...]

Hyrule Warriors released the Boss Pack DLC this week here in Europe which allowed players to step into the shoes of blue pig beast, Ganon. For those in

The Wii U had a great year last year with Mario Kart 8, Bayonetta 2 and Super Smash Brothers generating a huge amount of goodwill around the console Sadly, that hasn't quite translated in to huge sales. During a Third Quarter Results Briefing, Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata said he believes that can all change with one[...]

I think that they are still in denial about the Wii U failure You keep seeing this stat so we're up 82 percent – yeah, 40,000 units went to 70,000 units Who cares? You're still trailing the other guys by a mile. They need a new console that's competitive with Xbox One and PlayStation 4 If[...]

Nintendo broadcast 24 minutes of play from the Wii U's upcoming Xenoblade Chronicles X It's entirely in Japanese, but for those of you who don't speak the native tongue, you can see some pretty looking visuals It's good to see the Wii U getting a bit of a technical work out here as some of these locations[...]

When you look back, it is kind of absurd that Bayonetta 2 was a Wii U exclusive The deal was obviously made before the console came out, so Platinum Games couldn't have known about the trouble the Wii U would have shifting units, but still One of the most beloved action series in the world[...]

NPD also revealed that the Wii U had it's best month ever in December too This was no doubt brought about by the release of Super Smash Brothers and the incredibly popular Amiibo figures. That is encouraging to see I love the Wii U and it's great to see it get some love finally It still[...]

That could be rose tinted glasses, but for me, StarFox really is an extremely tight series with ingenious design at its core. As you can probably guess, I'm pretty excited about the Shigeru Miyamoto designed Wii U StarFox that is set to come out later this year Nintendo confirmed during The Game Awards that it would[...]

Games like Mario Kart 8, Bayonetta 2 and Super Smash Brothers have meant the Wii U has a lot of reasons to justify a purchase That is even before we get into the Amiibo madness. Sadly though, if you're in Brazil and looking to pick one up, you may not be able to In a statement via UOL[...]

Nintendo had a knock out year in 2014 as the Wii U transformed into one of the best consoles on the market Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Brothers Wii U, Hyrule Warriors, Amiibos and Bayonetta 2 made the Wii U the best console for first party games this year In fact, Nintendo was one of the[...]

It doesn't seem too long ago we were all pleading to them to give the Wii U great content Now we have Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Brothers, Amiibos, arguably the best showing at E3 and an exciting slate of games coming in the future The company has had a killer year. That was capped off[...]

Then we get a little jealous of the people who swindled Walmart out of PS4, Wii U, and 3DS earlier in the week Mewtwo is paid DLC for Smash Bros…except he isn't? And Dan geeks out about a Kickstarter Oh, and we give you a bit of a glimpse behind the curtain as we decided[...]

By Jared Cornelius Welcome back for another rundown of the week's hot new video game tape releases.  This week we've got two main themes, re-releases and horror, with a bit of both blended in for good measure.  That's right, dear reader, we're getting a couple of repackaging's including hardware this week.  We're seeing quite a few titles showing up for the[...]

By Jared Cornelius Now that we've all adjusted to a lack of free time and return of responsibilities, the Fall game calendar looks to be back at full strength and then some.  After a few weeks of niche detours thanks to Destiny, publishers look like their ready to jump back into releasing their big games and this week we have,[...]

When you hit a button, Shovel Knight follows his digital instructions.  It never felt like when I died, it was the game's fault, but my own mistake.   The movement is smooth and fluid, the jumping feels tight and precise which is a must for any platformer.  The games movement has shades of both Capcom's Mega Man[...]

By Jared Cornelius   Welcome back to Live(ish) From The Games Shop.  I was content to keep complaining about the lack of releases again, because unsurprisingly this is another barren week.  However, a bright shining star was released on Friday, escaping last week's column.  So I'm going to gush about that, then give you a couple of quality download titles[...]

When the first 15 minutes is us talking about the EA UFC Twitch stream we are watching, you know it's a slow week. We DO get some conversation about what we're playing, including the fact that Kris finally got a Wii U and Mario Kart 8, as well as some mobile games I've been playing, and[...]

By Phil Harris Following the launch of the Wii U, Nintendo have been struggling to make up ground on the other two competitors Whilst they were in attendance in force in the games play section of E3 last year they replaced the normal press conference with a rather sterile video, containing the CEO showing us an[...]

By Sage Ashford With June only a few weeks away, gaming fans are finding it more and more difficult to contain their excitement as the biggest gaming conference of the year approaches.  The Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3, gives gamers a look at the titles developers have been working on and plan to release over the[...]

By Sage Ashford Ah, and now we come to the first month of Spring.  Gamers looking for the typical, big budget AAA titles may find themselves wanting a bit, but there are still quite a few games for PS4, XBox One, and Wii U owners.  Let's have a look at what's on deck, hm? [youtube]http://youtu.be/hYwEkVPld28[/youtube] From Tribute Games,[...]

 Games that would never to be held up as a critical darling, only existing to be pointed to and laughed at.  I said it in that article and I'll say it again, everyone who's played a game can point to some awful licensed title.  Games like Maximum Carnage, Dragon Ball Z, Superman, hell anyone remember the Aquaman game for GameCube and Xbox?  But I[...]

By Jared Cornelius It's another round of new game releases on Bleeding Cool and this week finally looks like it's not overwhelming.  This week a challenger steps up to challenge MMO giant World of Warcraft, the Dark Knight's small screen adventure get ported over to the TV and an indie darling hits the PS4. The Elder Scrolls Online,[...]

But there is some disappointment that we as fans can control, and that's what this article is about. To discuss this, I will use the latest Nintendo Direct and the general fan reaction to it as my primary example.  For those of you who were unaware, in the latter part of the Wii's lifetime, Nintendo introduced[...]
