In 2011, the amount of Wii games released was minuscule and the ones that did were mostly overlooked other than main stay franchises such as Zelda and Kirby. It was no surprise that the Wii U was announced and was being pushed forward as Nintendo's next step into the market. Nintendo has finally announced today that the new Nintendo console will be available on November 18th, 2012 with two versions: Wii U Basic White with 8-GB worth of memory for $299.99 and Wii U Deluxe Black with 32-GB worth of memory for $349.99. It's a bit pricy, but not unreasonable.
Like with any other console, there needs to be a reason to get them. Usually, the reason is to play the games available for them. The one game that caught many gamer's attention at this year's E3 was ZombiU. It looked dark, gritty, challenging, and a bit more for the core gamer. What seems to be the case is that Nintendo is welcoming back their hardcore gamers back into the community as they have been largely ignored throughout the lifespan of the Nintendo Wii. Games such as Batman Arkham City, Assassin's Creed 3, Darksiders 2, Mass Effect 3 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 have been generally for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC and was never available to the Nintendo Wii (with the exception of Call of Duty games having dumbed down ports). With a traditional controller available, Nintendo hopes to bring back their core gaming community (probably because their casual gamers started to abandon them for mobile and social games).
Right now, two games have been announced for the Wii U that has caught my attention and has me seriously considering buying one. One of them is Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper. I was happy to hear that it was brought over to the Western market, but was disappointed when I found out that the PS3 version was digital download only. There is another chance now that a retail version will be released for the Wii U in the Western market. That'll be one game I'd really like. The other being this one:
The first Bayonetta was Console exclusive to PS3 and Xbox 360. But it seems like Nintendo and Sega has agreed to release a sequel exclusively for the Nintendo Wii U. That's very sneaky. But I imagine more great games will release for the Wii U that will make owning the system worth while. I hope the same is true for the Nintendo 3DS. I'm happy I own one now, but I'm still lacking games for the system. That Super Smash Bros. title mentioned earlier in the year would be a great addition to the 3DS. Here's hoping for a successful launch and fruitful gaming for the Nintendo Wii U!
Release Date: November 18th, 2012
-Wii U Basic White (8GB) - $299.99

Happy Lunar New Years Everyone! According to the Eastern Animal Zodiac, it is the year of the Dragon. Speaking of dragons, the dragon of the Hayabusa clan is returning in a new game; and I'm not talking about Ninja Gaiden 3. RYU HAYABUSA IS IN WARRIORS OROCHI 3!!!

Oh man, a chill went down my spine when I heard the remixed version of Ryu Hayabusa's original tune from the NES days come on. I didn't pay much attention to Warriors Orochi 3 after I learned that it wasn't going to be brought over to the Western market early last year. So it was a huge surprise when I heard today that it was going to be released in North America in March this year!!! (Supposedly March 20th) Even more surprising was that Ryu Hayabusa of the Ninja Gaiden series was going to be in it! Not only that, but characters from Warriors: Legends of Troy, Bladestorm, Trinity: Souls of Zill O'll and Dead or Alive are also going to join the huge cast of characters from Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors:

Altogether, the game has 120+ characters to choose from! For those unfamiliar with the Warriors Orochi series: It's a spin-off that started with only Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors back on the Playstation 2. A dimensional rift pulls the warriors of Ancient 3 Kingdom Era China and Sengoku Era Japan together to a strange land where they either join or oppose the Snake King "Orochi" (A snake demon in Japanese culture). Some major differences in gameplay are the ability to switch between any three characters chosen for battle at any given time, chain attacks from multiple characters together, every individual character has a special attack unique only to them, and your proximity to allied troops has an influence to how they act on the battlefield. Warriors Orochi is possibly the best spin-off Koei has done for the "Warriors" series and am incredibly happy to hear that it's being brought over. I'm saddened that I never got around to getting and playing Warriors Orochi 2, but I had anticipated a 3rd one to come out and didn't get it. So upon hearing that it wasn't being brought over made me lose my interest in pursuing the series any further. Now I'm more excited than ever about its release, especially with even more collaborated games from within their IP. If you're new to the series, I highly recommend picking up Warriors Orochi 2. It's really a lot of fun! THANK YOU TECMOKOEI!
