What's coming next week? Ah. Well. Dr. Luigi, definitely. Beyond that, though, it's all a bit of a mystery. No one seems certain, and schedules are clogged up with games listed broadly for "2013." Given that Tuesday, the typical retail release day, is New Year's Eve, everyone's probably waiting for things to settle down. Oh, what trouble the holidays bring!
After getting rocked by high traffic volume on Christmas Day, the Nintendo eShop will undergo 12 hours of maintenance today from 1 PM to 1 AM PST.
There sure are a lot of princesses in the upcoming Super Smash Bros game for Wii U and 3DS. Princess Zelda has now joined the confirmed roster for the upcoming brawler.
A new title update introduces a brand new mode to Call of Duty: Ghosts. The new "Heavy Duty" mode increases player health.
Indie studio Nyamyam has revealed a new trailer for Tengami, their Indiecade-nonimated pop-up adventure that's set to hit iOS in early 2014, with PC, Mac, and Wii U versions coming later in the year.
Nintendo is now selling a "high-capacity" Wii U GamePad battery that lasts up to 8 hours, rather than the 3-5 of the one included in the box.
Given that next Tuesday is Christmas Eve, it's not surprising that few games are coming out next week. In fact, it's almost surprising how many are. The two headliners are Zen Pinball 2 for PlayStation 4 and Halo: Spartan Assault for Xbox One, so we'll get a few next-gen funsies for Crimbo. For people who prefer practical gifts, Pokémon Bank is coming too.
Surprise! Call of Duty: Ghosts will have a season pass.
Ubisoft was working on a driving game, potentially to be part of the Driver franchise. However, after its cancellation, it laid down the foundation to become Watch Dogs.
The Mushroom Kingdom is a horrifying place. At least, that's the lesson to be learned from this new two minute trailer for Mario Kart 8.
