Here’s a video we took of the single-player campaign of Assassin’s Creed III running very nicely on the Wii U. Not only does this game look like a worthy entry in the series, it also looks super-great running live on the Wii U, with what seems to be less aliasing and nicer textures than are present in the 360/PS3 versions of the game.
Here is a gallery of 57 of the best pictures we took during Nintendo’s E3 2012 press conference. It was really something to see Mr. Miyamoto and Reggie in person and see what the Wii U’s graphics looks like first-hand. See the rest of the pictures after the jump!
The Nintendo conference is over, but you can still check after the jump for a replay of our liveblogging coverage of what went down during the presentation. We’ll have a gallery of photos from the conference up tonight too.
Nintendo is going to be streaming a pre-E3 Nintendo Direct regarding the Wii U tomorrow (Sunday) at 4:00PM CST. We will be on an airplane to LA at the time, so we will not be able to give our usual summary in a timely manner, so we invite you to check it out here instead.
Sorry for the lack of Nintendo Direct coverage in this instance, but we promise our E3 coverage will more than make up for it!
Nintendo announced their conference time a little while ago, but much like with the Sony conference we didn’t want to comment on it until we were sure of whether or not we are attending. Well, our invitations arrived today, so we can tell you for sure that we will be present and liveblogging at Nintendo’s E3 conference this year!
Aside from being a lifelong dream come true for us, this also means that you will be getting the best up-to-the-millisecond coverage of all the wonderful announcements Nintendo surely has in store regarding the launch of the Wii U and the expansion of the 3DS’ software lineup. The presentation takes place on Tuesday, June 5th at 10:00 AM CST. We’ll have a liveblog set-up a little before then and will be providing you with pictures as well as words telling you how much your mind is to be blown.
As E3 draws ever nearer we’ll make placeholder pages for our E3 conference liveblogs so that you know exactly where to go when the fun begins in less than two weeks.
Supposedly leaked by a TT Games (the makers of the LEGO games including the upcoming LEGO City Stories exclusive for the Wii U) employee, the Internet now has what may well be the first image of the final retail version of the Wii U controller. As with the leaked 3DS dev kit board that we analyzed to great acclaim almost precisely two years ago, this single image has a ton of information that may be gleaned from it. Read on for an in-depth analysis of what’s changed and what that tells us if this image is indeed genuine.
A concept trailer for the Wii U version of the upcoming sequel to Rayman Origins that was “leaked” online around a week ago has shed some light on previously unconfirmed details about the Wii U.
What we can learn from it:
What it doesn’t tell us:
So, the new information is scant, but important in its own right. We’re still holding out hope that Nintendo’s going to sink a bit more money into the system to make it compatible with 2+ new controllers and have significantly better graphics than the PS3/360, but we’ll find out for sure or not when we attend E3 in less than a month, so stay tuned for more Wii U news as it breaks.
