While the formula on display here is anything but new, this side scrolling platformer maintains the high standard set by its predecessors all those years ago and is a must buy for all Wii U owners.

Is it any good? Read here

We live in a day and age of ubiquitous interconnected media.

Smartphones allow for us to have an unprecedented anytime, anywhere ability to share information.

The internet is in more places than it isn’t.

With the on-disc/day one downloadable content issue still actively annoying many gamers, a wider market is opening for things created by the community as an alternative to having to purchase extra content.

Even though user generated content has been around for years, now is the time for Nintendo to capitalize on an ingenious idea that could not only save their franchises, but reinvigorate them.

Find out the secret to Nintendo’s future here!

With Nintendo having already teased us with a pre-E3 video (showing us the Gamepad redesign along with the announcement of Miiverse and the prayer-answering Pro controller) the gaming world held their breath for some real surprises.

Nintendo had left everyone scratching their heads after last years baffling Wii U reveal and it was time to see whether Nintendo could finish what they started twelve months ago.

Instead, I’m still left scratching my head.

OXCGN’s Nintendo DSi Impressions – Because We Play Anything!

OXCGN’s Nintendo DSi Impressions

Because We Play Anything!

Japan NintendoYeah, yeah…we are an Xbox site looking at Nintendo’s DSi.  We’ve often been criticised for looking at other consoles and their games, but we love gaming and though we have a special place in our hearts for the 360, we have plenty of love to spare for the others too.

I have never been one to get the least bit excited over a portable gaming console, though. I remember back in primary school, all the kids used to bring their little Gameboys to school and hit up Pokémon Red to see which one of the kids was the king of the playground.

I was never the least bit interested. I would save my gaming for the lounge room, coming home from school to play some good old Zelda or some Final Fantasy. The rich 3D colourful worlds were far better than the pixelated mess that the old handhelds displayed.
