We’ve always thought that it would be a perfect fit… you know, and the Wii U? What did you think I was talking about, Socialism in the good ‘ole U.S., of A? Pfft. Keep dreaming, this isn’t Lenin-era Russia. Nevertheless, on the Wii U could be a huge thing… if only someone would port the darn thing to the little Wii U that could. Well, hopes don’t need to be dashed because the cries of the few could become the cheers of the many. Nintendo Enthusiast picked up quotes from a recent in...

If you haven’t heard, Bandai Namco Games has announced that they will be a worldwide distributing partner with Slightly Mad Studios, offering to bring to a retail shop near you for the PS4, Xbox One and Wii U. While this is a third-party game through and through, Nintendo definitely needs to jump on the bandwagon in the same way that Sony has partnered with Bungie and Activision for a PS4 bundle, and the same way that Microsoft teamed with EA and Respawn for the Xbox One bundle.

Nintendo released a brand new trailer for the upcoming Zelda game from Tecmo Koei, Omega Force and Team Ninja called . The trailer focuses on Link’s Hylian sword. While the trailer is pretty slick and stops short just before the 1 minute and 20 second mark, there’s something that I just couldn’t stop thinking about: why didn’t Team Ninja or Omega Force up the AA filter?

One of the main points of criticism coming away from the Nintendo Switch presentation last week was the pricing of upcoming software — and indeed peripherals — to the system. Or at least the pricing strategy Nintendo were adopting when it came to the UK.
