This new gameplay video for Nintendo’s new 3DS Yoshi dropped over the weekend, and I am just getting around to hanging it up for you fine folks. I was a huge fan of the original for the Super Nes, and I have high hopes for this new one, luckily so far they look like they are nailing it! So take a look at the new gameplay video below and fingers crossed this turns out well.
Yoshi’s New Island will be out on March 14, 2014 for the Nintendo 2DS and 3DS.

Have you ever thought to yourself, “you know what would be awesome? A Dynasty Warriors game, but with Zelda”? Well, worry no more, as Nintendo has announced a new Zelda Title, being created by the team over at Tecmo Koei that is responsible for the Dynasty Warrior games, to do just that. Take a look at the trailer below.
I won’t lie to you, I am being cautiously optimistic about this one, but I kind of like the idea. No word yet on an official name for the game yet, but we will let you guys know as soon as they tell us.

Activision this morning announced, that Call of Duty: Ghosts has sold more then $1 Billion into retail on the first day of release. Since being released yesterday, it has moved into the #1 spot on Xbox Live, according to Microsoft. Activision has also stated that the average play session on Xbox 360 has been longer on Ghosts then either Black Ops II or Modern Warfare 3 during the same time period. They also went on to state that Call of Duty: Ghosts is Gamestop’s Most preordered Next Gen Title, and that Activision saw more then 15,000 midnight launch events around the world for the title. The Full press release is below.
SANTA MONICA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI), announced today that the company sold more than $1 billion of Call of Duty®: Ghosts into retail stores worldwide as of day one.
“Call of Duty is by far the largest console franchise of this generation,” said Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision Blizzard. “More people have played Call of Duty this year than ever before, logging four billion hours of gameplay. And in the last 12 months, Call of Duty®: Black Ops II, including its digital content, generated more revenues than any other console game ever has in a single year. Although it is too early to assess sell-through for Call of Duty: Ghosts, it’s launching at a time when the franchise has never been more popular.”
Millions of people are already playing Call of Duty: Ghosts online. Since its release yesterday, Call of Duty:Ghosts has moved to the #1 spot as the most played game on Xbox Live, according to Microsoft. Additionally, Activision confirmed that on the Xbox 360 videogames and entertainment system from Microsoft, average player sessions for Ghosts have been longer than either Black Ops II or Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 3, during the same time period.
Call of Duty: Ghosts launched at 15,000 midnight openings around the world. Fans around the world shared their excitement in social media, with Call of Duty-related terms trending an astounding 20 times globally on Twitter in the last 24 hours.
“Ghosts is an amazing game which ushers in the next generation of Call of Duty. The team at Infinity Ward has delivered yet another epic thrill ride in the campaign, and what I think is our best multiplayer game yet,” said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing. “This is the must have launch title for the next generation of consoles, and we expect Call of Duty: Ghosts to be the most successful launch title for the Xbox One and PS4 by a wide margin. In fact, according to GameStop, Call of Duty: Ghosts is their most pre-reserved next gen title.”
Call of Duty: Ghosts is out now across PC, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U and I even saw it for sale for the PS4 when I was in the store yesterday.

Today Nintendo thought it would be a good idea to not only drop a new bundle on us, but to also make us drool all over the place with a new 6 minute video for Super Mario 3D World. Seriously, this game just keeps looking better and better every time we see it! I can’t wait to get my catsuit on when this get released on Nov 22, but until then, enjoy the latest video below.

Today Nintendo has announced, that on November 1st they are releasing a new Wii U Deluxe Bundle. Included in this new bundle will be a Wii U Deluxe and two games- New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U together on one disc. This new bundle will be selling for 299$ and will replace the existing Wii U Deluxe bundle with Nintendo Land.
So if the Wii U Deluxe Zelda Bundle wasn’t to your liking, maybe this new one will be. The Zelda Bundle will still be available while supplies last, and after that, this will be the Wii U Bundle going forward. Look for this new Bundle in stores on November 1st.

Super Mario 3D World for the Nintendo Wii U is starting to look like the first innovative Mario game in quite some time. The mix of open area 3d style and platform style is impeccable. Not to mention, FINALLY a Mario in HD (It looks absolutely stunning BTW)
I have had a chance to get some hands on time with it a couple of times now, and I must say, I had a blast. Ether with friends or alone, it is a whole lot of fun. The new powers are great (I mean a cat suit?? YES PLEASE!) It controls wonderfully, and you can use the Wii U controller. 1080p Mario is a sight for sore eyes (please release a Super Mario Galaxy in HD, PLEASE) This is gaming fun at its purest form. I can’t remember the last time a game made me giddy while playing, just from the sheer amount of whimsy. But anyways, to get a better idea of what I am talking about, take a look at the trailer below, and prepare to get excited!
Super Mario 3d World is slated to be released on November 22, Exclusively on the Wii U.
