The Nintendo Wii U isn’t the hottest selling console at the moment and it does not even look like they are coming close. We’re not sure if it’s the Wii U’s hardware, the price, the complexity of the GamePad, or if there just aren’t enough major titles for it. Well the good news for Wii U gamers is that it looks like you will be able to expect a bunch of new games in the coming months, according to Damon Baker, the Senior Manager of Marketing at Nintendo of America’s Licensing departmennt.
According to Baker, who spoke the folks at Siliconera during GDC 2014, Wii U gamers can look forward to around 17 new Unity powered indie games in the next two months. Baker mentioned that during GDC, Nintendo had about 9 games on display, and revealed that there are more in the pipeline that will be released in the next couple of months. (more…)

Everyone would love to be at the top of things, in terms of favorable rankings and the ilk. After all, it just goes to show the world that you have worked hard to earn that spot right at the pinnacle, but I suppose that the hardest thing to do would be to maintain one’s performance in order to remain there. If you think that you are one of the top Pokemon trainers in the world, then you ought to have the “tools of the trade”, so to speak, to reflect that self imposed stature. What better way to do so than with this grand prize over at Japan’s annual Pokemon tournament?

A Slow Day in Afghanistan
Posted in: Today's ChiliWhat do you do when you are deployed in Afghanistan and you have way too much down time? Sounds like a good problem to have in Afghanistan. Well, Redditor b3tarded is there and made the most of his or her downtime by creating a Mario mural. They could have read books, or slept, or got into some trouble. Instead they created a great piece of geek art.
The scene included pipes, bricks and even the timer. They did a pretty good job, given the limited resources on hand. It likely also helped to cheer up a bunch of other soldiers.
You are a true geek sir or madam. Awesome job.

Compared to companies like Sony and Microsoft, Nintendo probably isn’t doing so hot at the moment. Wii U sales have been called disappointing with Nintendo slashing their estimates by a huge margin at the same time.
However Nintendo is known for the first-party titles and with new titles like Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros. on their way, there is a small chance that these titles could reinvigorate sales of the Wii U and demand for Nintendo products. In fact game designer Peter Molyneux thinks that Nintendo is a company that shouldn’t be underestimated, according to a recent interview with IGN. (more…)

Airaki Is A New Game Boy Game
Posted in: Today's Chili
Nintendo’s Game Boy is an institution in the world of video games, there’s no doubt about that. The handheld console that could lasted for so many years in the market, seeing off many other rivals like the Sega Game Gear as well as the TurboExpress. In fact, later iterations of the Game Boy ran on half the amount of batteries required, and yet came with color, a smaller chassis and a far better display, without losing any of its charm. For those of you who still have a working Game Boy in your possession, here is some good news for you – there is a new game for the handheld console, which is known as Airaki.

Nintendo’s “enhanced remake” of the legendary N64 launch title Super Mario 64 was a Nintendo DS port that added new characters, game modes and more. With his remake, YouTuber Aryoksini is going to improve at least one aspect of the game: its graphics.
Aryoksini is remaking Super Mario 64 using Blender, an open source 3D animation suite that has a built-in game engine. He has a long way to go – and that’s if Nintendo allows him to go on – and makes it clear that the video you see below shouldn’t reflect the finished game.
Keep an eye on Aryoksini’s YouTube channel for future updates. Nintendo’s lawyers You can also watch him work on the game on his Twitch channel.
