I have quite a few Gamestop Rewards points, so I ordered a Metal Gear Rising grab bag which is said to have $35 worth of stuff in it. Hopefully some cool shit. Funny thing is, I don't even have the game yet. lol

Forbes: Five Reasons Why Nintendo's Stock Is Surging

Ask a gamer about Nintendo these days, and they’ll likely give you a quip about the Wii U being dead in the water in the face of more powerful, more buzzed about consoles from Sony SNE -0.87% and Microsoft MSFT +0.47%. But investors see things a different way, and perhaps have been paying closer to recent events that say things aren’t all doom and gloom for Nintendo. They’ve actually been pretty great in recent days and weeks.

Nintendo stock has seen a huge surge lately, rising 26% this month, 14% this week, and 4% yesterday alone. The stock is at its highest value in two years, and though it hasn’t reached the highs of 2011, it’s quite a turnaround for the company who saw shares lag after lackluster Wii U performance.

I think that article about Wonderful101 is wrong because the official release date in North America is September 15th the article says August 24th for North America.

SUPER MARIO MAKER LEVELS:

  • SMB Mix-Up! (1AB2-0000-0047-5A7D)
  • Storm the Castle (77BD-0000-00E0-A9C0)

When I checked release dates for the thread it said end of August too, has it changed?

Just checked - "Nintendo has announced The Wonderful 101 will be available in Europe from August 23 and North America from September 15" you guys get it 3 weeks later. Nintendo Europe is kicking NOAs ass these days.

Ridiculous, Activision finally confirms Call of Duty®: Ghosts Wii U months later than any other platform. True to form but just as stupid.

PR:

SANTA MONICA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI), continues to support the Wii U™ system with some of the biggest franchises in entertainment, including the highly anticipated Call of Duty®: Ghosts and the next game in the best-selling kids’ franchise, Skylanders SWAP Force™, as well as Angry Birds Trilogy™, Angry Birds™ Star Wars®, SpongeBob SquarePants™: Plankton’s Robotic Revenge and Wipeout™ Create & Crash. “As we have said before, we’re committed to doing everything we can to support the Wii U, which is why we’re excited to be bringing some of the most popular entertainment franchises in the world to the platform this year,” said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing, Inc. “The Call of Duty franchise continues to be one of the most powerful forces in gaming and Skylanders continues to enchant new fans around the world. Our studios have been hard at work creating brand new immersive experiences perfectly suited to the Wii U platform and our fall lineup has something for everyone.” Activision’s Second-Half 2013 Wii U Slate Includes: Call of Duty: Ghosts — Featuring an all-new world, story, characters and experiences, all powered by a new engine, Call of Duty: Ghosts is a stunning leap forward for the blockbuster franchise. For the first time in Call of Duty, gamers play as the underdog, fighting as part of a single squad against an enemy that has superior numbers and firepower. Call of Duty: Ghosts’ genre-defining multiplayer delivers gameplay innovations throughout, including dynamic map events, character customization and other features yet-to-be-announced. The title includes Wii Remote and second-screen Wii U™ GamePad support and more. Call of Duty: Ghosts is scheduled for release on November 5, on Wii U and is not yet rated by the ESRB.

EDIT - According to Nintendo twitter the game uses the next-gen engine - "arrives on #WiiU with a new world, story, and powerful next-gen engine." So it's presumably not a 360 port?

Blog post from Kamiya...


Long time no see, everyone. I am the director of 'The Wonderful 101', Mr. Hideki Kamiya.

It has been a long time now since I directed Bayonetta, and in the interim, I aimed to be called the 'Twitter Master', but the time has come at last to send out my new game to the world, and it seems I will be able to return to my true work as a 'Game Designer'.


I think that most people do not understand what type of game this is, even though the release of the all new game 'The Wonderful 101' has come very close. At this point I believe that either, people know it's a game where you walk around as many different characters at once, believe it is a game where a dog is the main character*, or have not heard of the title at all.


And that's ok!


Why don't you learn about the game with me, via this blog, as I provide you with information on 'The Wonderful 101'?


To put it simply, this game is one where you become a hero and defeat bad guys: a simple and pure battle/action game. You do not need to think about it too hard. However, there's a few...a lot more protagonists in this game than a usual one, is all.

The title, 'The Wonderful 101', shows the number of heroes in the game. The extra '1' on the '100' is born from a desire for you all at home, outside the TV, to become heroes too. 'Moving about with all this heroes - what sort of game is this?' you might be wondering. I would like to introduce a little bit for you in the coming weeks.


...On that note, I shall end my welcome message here. From the next blog post, I will mix in videos as I introduce various aspects of the game. Not just the action, but also lots of information on the characters and the story, so please look forward to it.


Finally, in preparation for the next post, everyone, Unite up.
