Nintendo Wii U and 3DS news at Wii's World

Rage of the Gladiator review

Punch-Out! Gladiator-style.

Rage of the Gladiator has you beating Greek mythology foes in sort of a Punch-Out style, except with magic. You take control of Prince Gracius of Avalance, a gladiator who has been put into a prison for killing his father (he was framed I tells ya!). His torture is your entertainment as he is put in an... read more

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD review

Waking up the Wii U.

At first, I was thrilled to hear that Nintendo was planning on the release of a high-def remake of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. I immediately started thinking "What are they going to add to this game?" Perhaps some new dungeons, new characters and weapons? Voice acting? I soon found out that it... read more

Pokemon X review

Pokemon undergoes its biggest evolution yet.

Game Freak have what might be one of the most challenging jobs in the industry. How delicate a procedure it must be to move their astronomically successful franchise onto the most modern of the handhelds - the one that warrants the biggest aesthetic and innovative upgrade from its games - without spoiling a... read more

Escape From Zombie City review

When you just can't get enough zombies.

Escape From Zombie City is a throwback to the glory days of arcade gaming. The time when most games were focused on how they could get more quarters from the players instead of allowing them to get to the ending. Escape From Zombie City feels like Ikari Warriors with an SNK art style feel. Taking control... read more

SteamWorld Dig review

Your mission: Review Steamworld Dig without mentioning Minecraft.

SteamWorld Dig is a follow-up to Image & Form's SteamWorld: Tower Defense, which arrived on DSiWare back in the summer of 2010. Although it takes place in the same world as its predecessor, SteamWorld Dig controls like a platform game, the objective is mining, and the emergent gameplay makes it an... read more

Tangram Style review

Oppan Tangram Style!

When Nintendo found a new level of success back in 2004/2005 with the DS, they (and the other companies who developed for it) were plunged headfirst into the emerging realm that was the casual gaming market. Despite this however, these potentially treacherous and extremely uncharted waters never phased the... read more

Super Ghouls N Ghosts review

A challenging, but scary good time.

Nintendo and Capcom re-released this beast of a game in May.

Pokemon Rumble U review

Worth a rumble?

I bought this game with hesitation. I know that its predecessor on the Wii was a fun little game, but this one just looked like a cash grab to me. Truthfully, it is, but it's also fun if you're willing to try out the near-field communication functionality. If you're wondering what NFC is, it's the ability... read more

Undead Bowling review

Bowling with Zombies!

Imagine a world where the zombie apocalypse has taken place. Now imagine that someone has been able to round up these zombies as bowling pins for their bowling alley that was somehow impervious to said zombie invasion. This is essentially what Undead Bowling for the 3DS is. However, instead of just trying to... read more

NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams review

A dream or a nightmare?

As a kid, NiGHTS into Dreams was one of my favourite games for the Sega Saturn. The weird, wonderful world of Nightopia drew me in, and I was hooked right from the start. The addictive gameplay, the frightening bosses... NiGHTS into Dreams screamed 'Future cult classic'. I remember NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams... read more

Death or War?

When Darksiders first launched in January 2010, it was met with an almost palpable level of pleasant surprise. Many gamers were in the mist of a post Christmas lull and few expected things to pick up again till the summer, however Darksiders was one of the founders of what is now seen as an all year round... read more
