During their Nintendo Direct conference, alongside the announcement of the crossover game Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem, Nintendo showed off a brand new trailer for the Wii U title which one can presume will be an RPG of some kind.
The trailer which can be seen below featured a number of different characters from both titles but did not show any actual gameplay footage instead serving as little more than a tease to fans of both franchises.
Be sure to check out the Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem trailer below and let us know what you think in the comments section. Are you excited for this title?
At tonights Nintendo Direct conference held on the internet, Iwata-san had a small, but detailed look on an upcoming Zelda title for the Wii U. This will be a new Zelda game that is apparently going to be designed to change up the way the Zelda experience is handled.
This is not surprising since the theme for this new Zelda game is “Rethink the conventions of Zelda”. This is, I think, a great convention for a New Zelda title to have as the formula has pretty much been beaten to death at this point (even if I still love it, I can see why some players are getting annoyed). It will be interesting to see where the team takes this new concept. I believe we can expect some early promo for this game at around E3.
Nintendo have made an official announcement at Nintendo Wii U Direct that we will see a new Mario Kart game coming to the Wii U in the future. That is right they have confirmed that Mario Kart Wii U is in development and will be shown at E3 2013.
The new Mario Kart Wii U will be developed by the team behind Mario Kart: Double Dash for the Gamecube. No further information was revealed on the title during the Nintendo Direct conference but Nintendo did promise to show off the title at E3 in a greater capacity.

Nintendo President Satoru Iwata has just announced via the Wii U Nintendo Direct presentation that the Wii U will be receiving two system updates; one coming in Spring, and one coming in Summer.
The updates will do wonders in improving load times, cutting the time it takes to return to the Wii U main menu and helping software to launch much quicker. What’s more exciting is the news that the Virtual Console service will be coming alongside, or possibly shortly after, the Spring update as it will be adding the appropriate software to the Wii U Nintendo eShop.
As was the case with the Wii, NES games will be priced at $4.99-$5.99 and SNES games will range from $7.99-$8.99. Now, you will have to pay an extra $1 and $1.50, respectively, to purchase the Wii U version of any NES or SNES titles you already own on the Wii. Before you start audibly shouting “Why?!”, know that this is because there are extra features such as 3DS-like save states, the option to play entirely on the GamePad and ability to post to Miiverse added.
To celebrate its launch and the 30th anniversary of the NES since it’s initial Launch in Japan, Nintendo are also running a Wii U Virtual Console Trial Campaign, the details of which can be found here.
At the Wii U-centric Nintendo Direct presentation, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata introduced a gameplay trailer of a title simply dubbed ‘X’. You can view the trailer below!
It is being made by the franchise’s developers Monolith Soft and we believe it to be something of a spiritual successor to Xenoblade Chronicles, and not necessarily a sequel. As you are able to see, it has hot-keyed attacks and mech combat. It seems you will be able to pilot mechs, which can even transform between a combat and vehicle state.
Any Xenoblade fans out there? How are excited are you for ‘X’!? Let us know, and watch the trailer below!!
Nintendo revealed that they are collaborating with ATLUS Games on a brand new title for the Wii U which brings together one of Nintendo’s biggest RPG franchise Fire Emblem and ATLUS Games popular Shin Megami Tensei RPG series. This title is set to launch on the Wii U and will be titled Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem.
Nintendo showed off a brief trailer of the game which featured a huge cast of characters from both series which are sure to feature in this crossover title. No news was revealed on what type of game this well be but both series being RPG series seem to insinuate that this will be an RPG as well.

During the Nintendo Direct conference held online featuring Iwata-san, a 30th Anniversary promotion has been announced for the Wii U service. This special promotion is to celebrate the 30th year of the NES/ Famicom system and will make available 30 titles over 30 days for the Virtual Console service.
What’s interesting about this is that one game will be made free per month, ending in June, and additional titles will be made available for 30cents per title. This will be a great way to add functionality to the Wii U device while we wait for additional titles. Refer to the picture below for examples of games coming to the service.
Nintendo just dropped an absolute bombshell during their Nintendo Direct conference by announcing that they will be re-releasing The Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker in an updated HD format for the Wii U.
During the conference several HD screenshots of Windfall Island were shown off as well as a HD version of Link and Zelda. Nintendo President Satoru Iwata commented that they chose to re-release Windwaker due to the fact that they believe that not many people got a chance to play this title due to the small install base of the Gamecube and made the decision to release it to a greater audience on the Wii U.
Nintendo revealed several images of the game, including the one you can see above. They chose to show off Windwaker HD due to the fact that a brand new Zelda title is still a fair way off.
The game was revealed to be hitting stores in Fall 2013 Worldwide. What do you think of Windwaker HD coming to the Wii U? Let us know in the comments section below.
Nintendo have revealed in the Nintendo Wii U Direct conference that Pikmin 3 will feature Miiverse functionality in the form of picture sharing with other players on the service.
