Wii U launches November 18 [rumour]
It feels like an age since Nintendo announced their next generation console. Their console, the Wii U, would step back into the console-power game albeit not in a crazy way and rather than a Wii-mote as the clever new feature made use of a controller that also had a screen. The jury is out as […]
Sponsored Video: Nintendo Nostalgia means bags of coins for Mario
Ah – the sound of a gold coin being added to Mario’s wallet. It’s gaming culture. It’s right up there with jumping on creature’s heads, avoiding spikes and tracking down Peach.
