Nintendo Direct Nov. 13: The Legend of Zelda Edition

Today's Nintendo Direct has just wrapped up, and we got some great announcements out of this one. 

It also started out goofier than ever, with an elevator ride that was interrupted by Reggie.

You can watch the video below, or if you can't watch it right now, you can read my summary.

Miiverse Now Available on the Web

 

 

Great news for Nintendo Wii U owners!  The Miiverse website is now up and running!  Now, you can access one of the best things from the Wii U wherever you are!  That also means you can access your drawings (like my Pokemon X & Y starters and Tingle above) and screen caps.

The best part of this is that you can't just go and make an account without a Wii U.  That way, people can't just make accounts and troll the place up.  Smart move on Nintendo's part!

Lo-Fi Podcast - February 6, 2013

And BOOM! Out of nowhere, it's the Peanut Butter & Awesome Lo-Fi Podcast!  Join me as I ramble on about the Super Bowl (seriously, every time I type that, I want to spell it "bowel"), the current idiocy running rampant on Nintendo Miiverse, and as I review BIT.TRIP SAGA for the Nintendo 3DS.

Nintendo Wii U Direct - 1/23/13

There was a new Nintendo Direct broadcast this morning which was centered around the Wii U.  No one was really expecting much in the way of actual news, but HOLY CATS WIND WAKER HD REMAKE!

Sorry, I couldn't hold that back any longer.  I am so excited for that news!  

That wasn't all that was announced either!  Nintendo is working on two updates to speed uo the system, one for launching games and one for the switching between menus.  One will be out this Spring, and the other this Summer.  Also announced was the Wii U Virtual Console (with discounted prices for games you already purchased on the Wii), a new Mario Kart Wii U title, a new 3D Mario Wii U title (made by the same team behind Super Mario 3D land, Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem, Miiverse on Smartphones this Spring, the ability to take pictures of your pikmin in Pikmin 3 and post them to Miiverse, and a crap ton more!

I think it is safe to say that this was the best Nintendo Direct since, well, ever!

New Nintendo Direct Wii U Information

Nintendo has sprung a new Nintendo Direct video on us!  This time around, aside from looking longingly at oranges, we got to find out a bit more info on the Nintendo Network, Miiverse, and the Internet Browser.  Hit the jump for the video and a brief overview.
