Circle pads on the Wii U, was it a bad move?
The controller for the Wii U has circle pads, closer to the Nintendo 3DS than any sort of analog control. This has some people a little worried in regards to how precise they can be. But Miyamoto aims to squash those fears, explaining: The circle pads that we’re using for the Wii U controllers are [...]
Miyamoto: There are no set rules for developers on the Wii U
People are ambivalent about the touchscreen on the Wii U’s controller. Just like how not everyone was adept at developing with the Wii’s motion controls, there are surely plenty of developers who should stay away from doing anything with touch. Luckily, this is perfectly fine. Shigeru Miyamoto has said that “We’re not going to set [...]

The Wii U is coming out in Spring or Summer, says SEGA
Alan Pritchard has confirmed that Sonic Generations will not be on the Wii U, explaining that “the timing just doesn’t work.” But at the same time, he’s narrowed down the release window, sharing that “the Wii U is coming out next spring/summer.” Of course, details can change.

Video: First look at Killer Freaks in Outer Space on the Wii U
Killer Freaks from Outer Space is an exclusive first-person shooter for the Wii U that I imagine will be available at launch as it’s coming from Ubisoft.

Iwata: The Wii U is “not going to be cheap”
Perhaps the most amusing result of Nintendo trying to go “wider” and “deeper” with the Wii U, in terms of reaching out to the people who label themselves as “hardcore” gamers is that this will lead to higher priced hardware. And it’ll likely be these same people who then go on to whine about the [...]

Nintendo Wii U: Nintendo President Says The Company Should Have Explained Wii U Better

First Trailer for Ghost Recon: Online for the Wii U
Ubisoft has shared the first trailer for Ghost Recon: Online on the Wii U. It gives us the best look at the game so far and shows how the controls can be used for strategy. I don’t think the game pushes the Wii U’s hardware, but it’s the only “serious” game we’ve seen running on [...]

A few details about Battlefield 3 on the Wii U
I wasn’t too sure if Battlefield 3 was coming to the Wii U. I know Electronic Arts talked about it (sort of) at Nintendo’s E3 press conference, but every sentence was prefaced with the word “imagine,” so there didn’t seem to be a clear announcement. Luckily, Frank Gibeau of EA has talked about ideas for [...]
