    GameCube classics that should return on Wii U

    I felt pretty old last Thursday. Why? Because it was a whole decade since the GameCube launched. Some of my favourite gaming memories are from the GameCube era - playing Melee with friends, getting Mario Sunshine for Christmas and spending hours swinging around New York in Spiderman 2, one of my favourite move tie-ins ever. Naturally an auspicious occasion like this should be treated with due respect and celebration, and to do that I'll be putting my two cents in by considering which classic GameCube gems should be given a new breath of life with the help of a remake or sequel. 24 comments

    How Wii U should use NFC technology

    I'm supposed to be studying for my exams but recently I've been distracted by that Rayman Legends trailer that was leaked online. I know Ubisoft has said it doesn't represent the final game but it hasn't stopped me from thinking about Near-Field Communications, or NFC for short, chip that will be in the controller. How could the Wii U use NFC technology is the question that's been in my mind for this week. 20 comments

    Smash Bros 3DS - 5 characters that should fight

    Super Smash Bros is a Nintendo fan's perfect fighting game. I love watching tonnes of different Nintendo characters from franchises including The Legend of Zelda, Mario and Pokemon battling in awesome stages from various Nintendo games. Whether you're playing alone or multiplayer, these games have always been amazing and incredible fun. The fact that the fourth instalment in the Super Smash Bros series is being developed not only for 3DS, but for WiiU also is pretty exciting stuff as we will not only be getting 3D epic-ness but also an awesome high definition one! 61 comments

    Colors 3D: My Pokemon pictures

    Last Thursday, I saw many tweets promoting what was new on the 3DS eShop, and there was one title that really got people talking. It was Colors 3D, an art application which allows you to draw pictures and add layers to create a 3D effect. 19 comments

    New Super Mario Bros 2 on eShop: A step in the right direction

    The phrase 'Nintendo investor briefing' is one that hardly inspires excitement, but the latest session from Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has given us a tantalising glimpse into what we could be about to see at E3 - and plenty of ammunition for a spot of speculation. Speculation that I'm going to indulge in right now. 16 comments

    Kid Icarus Uprising: A work of art

    I wish Masahiro Sakurai made all of Nintendo's games. The slightly humdrum reality of making a games mag is that a chronic lack of artwork and screens can often limit the coverage we can give certain titles. 9 comments
