Nintendo Shipped 1.95 Million Wii U Consoles Last Quarter

Posted on January 29, 2014 by Rae Michelle Richards

It hasn’t been a particularly cheery time for Nintendo Japan as the Wii U is failing to meet projections and with the company’s profits expected to fall short next quarter; these certainly aren’t the money printing heydays of the original Wii back in 2007. While we won’t speculate about where Nintendo is heading, because frankly everyone has their own opinion and mine is probably way off, we can report back some of the numbers that recently came to light. Nintendo had expected to ship 9 million Wii U units by the end of their fiscal year in March. Their latest

UnEpic Released Today On Wii U eShop

Posted on January 16, 2014 by Les Major

Released today on the Wii U eShop, this game is an indie gem worth checking out.

It’s an enjoyable story that plays out in a web comic sort of feel since you occasionally have conversations with a shadow being that fails to possess your characters body and gets stuck within him. The exchanges between the two are quite fun and
