Ubisoft’s Plans for Wii U

Every gaming company must remember that there are two kinds of people: Hardcore gamers and casual gamers. Many companies forget about the businessmen that simply want to plug in their Wii and relax after a long days work, or the traveler that wants to kill some time before his next flight with some Sudoku on his 3DS. Ubisoft is not going to make this mistake with the Wii U, they announced. The two hardcore games, which you’ve probably definitely heard of, are Assassin’s Creed 3 and Rayman Legends, which you will surely hear more about (Stay tuned!). Ubisoft also plans to release 5 casual games, such as Avengers for Wii U. This should surely keep all walks of gamers content. What do you think? -Ryan Baxter

Nintendo to Announce New Character In the Near Future?

In a recent interview with Games Blog, Shigeru Miyamoto was asked whether or not he wanted to create any game that he wasn’t yet able to. He replied:

“I usually come up with new ideas while I am working on other games. That said, there’s a strong possibility we will introduce some new characters to the scene soon.”

Seeing as Miyamoto said there was a strong possibility, it begs us to question whether or not Nintendo will hint at new series during their E3 2012 presentation (or round table) this June. Thought it’s still too soon to say for certain, so be sure to stay posted to Nintendo Charged in the weeks to come for any more info on this subject. So readers, what new series could Nintendo possibly come up with next? Voice your opinion in the comments. -Dallas B.

What Ubisoft Had to Say About Leaked Rayman Legends Trailer

A lot of you already know about the recently announced title, Rayman Legends for Nintendo Wii U. What you probably didn’t know is that Ubisoft was actually planning on waiting until E3 2012 next month to announce the game. The leaked trailer we covered last week shows a lot of awesome new features from the game, but it was confirmed by Ubisoft to be “a purely internal demonstrative video, and in NO way represents the final game, the final console or their features”. While this is a bit disappointing, Ubisoft said that the game was in development, so it’s speculating time! What features would you love to see in Rayman Legends?

Nintendo Wii U Charging Dock Design Has Been Leaked

The Nintendo Wii U is expected to be released next month at E3, and a lot of talk about the systems attachments have circulated.

Nintendo Wii U Zapper Design Has Been Patented

Fact: Boys (and girls) like guns. Fact #2: Guns are dangerous. Fact #3: Video Game guns are less dangerous. The Nintendo Wii Zapper wasn’t used a lot on it’s unveiling, but soon there will be a huge revolution in it’s design, as the Nintendo Wii U Zapper is soon to be unveiled. The patent on this design has already been determined, and is available after the break. This is expected to be unveiled at E3 next month. Surely, this will cause a huge change in gaming, as the Wii U controller mounted on the gun itself acts as a screen, giving a more immerse experience.
