No DVD/Blu-ray Support on Wii U


Wii U DVD and Blu-ray
Wii U Does Not Play DVD or Blu-Ray


Nintendo has reconfirmed that the Wii U will not have DVD or Blu-ray support, This is actually understandable. The biggest issue is Nintendo always does there best to cut cost and adding such a capability to there console would make the console cost more (probably 50 bucks more). You could use that money you save from it not having the support to actually buy a separate one, and that'
s assuming you already don't have a device capable of doing so.

Nintendo DLC, Is it True?


Yes, Nintendo is actually considering adding DLC (DownLoad Content) for some of there games. This come from an article on http://www.computerandvideogames.com.

From other articles I've read, Nintendo has stated that they will not release unfinished games that make you have to pay for DLC to get the rest of the game.

Perhaps I'll create a list of things I want as download content.

Nintendo Network More Than A Re-branding


Nintendo Network
More then just Nintendo Wifi

In an earlier post I mentioned that the upcoming Nintendo Network that's set to replace the Nintendo Wifi Connection was just a re-branding with few updates. This has since been proven to be false. In recent articles the Nintendo Network will have much more to offer, although almost all information is still being kept secret by Nintendo we have herd that this new network will be supporting DLC (Download Content).

We'll probably have to wait for E3 2012 till we get the real news though.

Nintendo Legend Shigeru Miyamoto Looking For Next Hit Seires


Shigeru Miyamoto Nintendo new series
Miyamoto Looking For Next Hit

One of the latest bits of news from Nintendo is the legendary video game designer Shigeru Miyamoto is looking for the next big series. Now finding a hit series isn't an easy thing to do, but this legendary man has created big names before. Such names as Super Mario and Zelda are only a few of his masterpieces, not to mention he helped created many others that launched big time.

With Nintendo having problems lately Shigeru Miyamoto whose been the driving force of Nintendo (and possibly indirectly other video game companies) has stated that he believes the company must invest and develop it's way back to making a profit.

“Developing big hit titles must be the solution,” He told investors.

But with all the series Nintendo already has, what could they possibly come up with next. It may take some time but I'm confident if anyone could find such a new series it would be Shigeru Miyamoto.

Fan Trailer For Next Zelda On Wii U


Recently people and websites have been talking about a recent Zelda Fan Trailer that's been posted on YouTube. Although the trailer is interesting and fun to watch, the concepts used would be impossible for a good video game. In fact I'd same it's more suited to be a movie/anime with what was shown.

When I first watched it I was thinking it would be more of a possibility or a new Zelda video game. However the environments didn't look good to me and it seemed to play like a sidescroller than the normal Zelda titles. That's not to say that a sidescrolling Zelda is a bad thing, Zelda 2 The Adventure Of Link was an awsome game, but with the graphics used and the way Link went through them made me feel that if they made a Zelda title like this it would be more like a revamp of The legend of Zelda The Faces Of Evil on the Philips Cdi.

Yes I said it, I don't feel the concept of what was shown in the video to be Zelda worthy and is more suited to be a Cdi Zelda based on the Wind Waker Link. However when I think about it as a video and not a game it can be pretty inspiring as an animated series or a movie.

So in all this Fan Trailer is good as a video but not a game.
