We were told that Axiom Verge was unlikely to come to the Wii U. So today’s announcement that the game is coming to the Wii U was a huge surprise. Not only that, but the game is coming to the Xbox One too! Axiom Verge is a game I’m not too familiar with. All I really know about the game is that its Metroid-like and that a lot of people seem to like it. I’m a Wii U and 3DS…

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is officially on three consoles: the Nintendo GameCube, The Nintendo Wii, and the Nintendo Wii U.

Virtual Reality will never work! Want to hear my totally uninformed opinion of current day VR? Read on! Virtual Reality is just a gimmick. There I said it. I know I’ll make some people upset with this opinion. There are people who love VR and want it to work. For some reason. I just do not get why. Back in the 90s, I went to a car show and tested out a virtual reality simulator. I thought it was neat,…

Child of Light is currently on sale for the Wii U. For just $3.98 you can have the game for the Wii U. Why should you buy it RIGHT NOW? Here are my thoughts on Child of Light so far.
