That Wii U taking a page from Xbox article is full of BS... Like few Wii users going online to use Netflix etc, when all the stats released previously showed more people used it on Wii than on other consoles... Also, spelling mistakes... And the whole thing based on random un named sources sprouting vague crap...

The Last Story confirmed for the US also, via XSEED. Congrats to whoever.

New. Capital N!

The Circle Pad Difference

Gamers with the Circle Pad attachment are granted a reprieve from many of the pervasive control issues that plague this version. In addition to dual-stick aiming, the face buttons revert to their “normal” functionality, so you don’t need to press the d-pad to climb trees or go prone. With item and weapon menus on the triggers, you also need to spend less time monkeying with the awkward touchscreen interface. The Circle Pad doesn’t solve all of the problems in Snake Eater 3D, but the changes at least make the controls less distracting.

Maybe I should keep the demo saved. If I see a cheap, cheap circle pad pro I could try it out and it could be playable. I cannot aim with buttons as it is. I hear Peace Walker had the same controls?

Xenoblade Chronicles Hits Wii on April 6 with The Last Story Soon to Follow


REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Nintendo is loading 2012 with surprises for all kinds of gamers. Today Nintendo can confirm that the acclaimed role-playing game The Last Story™ will come to North America for the Wii™ console in 2012, published by XSEED Games. Nintendo also can reveal that Xenoblade Chronicles™ will launch on April 6, complete with fan-chosen artwork that will be featured in the game’s packaging.


“Together, these two games level up the excitement for RPG fans in America,” said Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime. “Whether roaming the vast landscape of Xenoblade Chronicles or choosing crossbows to battle with or against companions in The Last Story, gamers will recognize these titles as benchmarks for the genre.”

Remember also that Rhythm Heaven™ Fever for Wii launched Feb. 13, while PokéPark™ 2: Wonders Beyond launches Feb. 27 and Mario Party™ 9 launches March 11.


On the portable gaming side, a sporty new Mario™ game for the Nintendo 3DS™ hand-held system is on the way, and you don’t need to be a pro athlete to jump into the action. Mario Tennis™ Open, which launches May 20, offers immersive tennis action featuring everyone’s favorite characters from the Mushroom Kingdom in classic Mario style. With its intuitive game play, even novice tennis players can enjoy playing the game with friends and family. Mario Tennis Open also supports comprehensive online play, a first for the series. Players with a broadband Internet connection can play singles or doubles matches with friends near and far, or compete against single opponents of similar skill levels in Open Match mode. The game also supports leader boards and victory medals.


The parade of great games for Nintendo 3DS continues, particularly from third-party publishers. Games that launched during the past two weeks alone include Resident Evil® Revelations from CAPCOM, Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games™ published by SEGA, TEKKEN® 3D Prime Edition™ from NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. and METAL GEAR SOLID® Snake Eater 3D from Konami Digital Entertainment.

On March 23, Kid Icarus™: Uprising joins the Nintendo 3DS party, complete with online multiplayer battles. The 3D horror of Spirit Camera™: The Cursed Memoir ominously follows on Friday the 13th of April.


Lately the Nintendo eShop also has been on a roll, and today Nintendo unleashes Dillon’s Rolling Western™. Players take on the role of an armadillo ranger named Dillon who must defend Old West villages against mysterious rock-like enemies using strategy and his own unique fighting skills. This original action tower defense game is available for $9.99. Nintendo 3DS owners can find many exciting games in the Nintendo eShop, including the critically acclaimed Pushmo™, the stylish swordplay of Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword™ and Mutant Mudds™, a classic 2D platformer with a 3D twist.
