Hasta La Gadget!

Nintendo promised earlier this year they would roll out updates to its Wii U in the spring and summer to help improve the video game console in a number of important areas. The company released the Wii U’s spring update this past April, although many were wondering where the promised summer update was, considering we’ve entered the fall season in the northern hemisphere a few weeks ago. Nintendo might have been a tad late, but they have just rolled out their “summer” update for the Wii U. (more…)

Gesture control sure is cool, even if it’s still a little bit of a gimmick. But how the hell does it actually work?

I think most everybody will agree that Opera for Nintendo Wii has been quite the success. Ever since it was released into beta in December, it’s been available to users for free. Between December and now, the Opera team has worked to perfect the browser, and in April it reached its final form with a bunch of improvements.

Starting on Sunday, July 1st, the Internet Channel browser will no longer be free. At that time, it will cost 500 Wii points to get it. Every 100 Wii points is $1, so the Opera-powered browser will cost $5 which I’d say is really reasonable.

The great thing though is that if you don’t have it yet, you can still get it!  For some of you, the problem is that you’d love to download the Internet Channel, but you just can’t seem to get your hands on a Wii. Unfortunately for you, you’ll have to purchase it once you do manage to get your hands on a system.

To get the browser, just follow the instructions in the cartoon above! Just be sure you do it before July 1st.

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD will be setting sail onto the Wii U on October 4, leaving many longtime Nintendo and The Legend of Zelda fans counting down the days until the game is finally available for purchase. It turns out The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker wasn’t the only game Nintendo had experimented with by upgrading the graphics of a previously released Zelda game as series lead Eiji Aonuma admits there were three games the company was playing around with.

In addition to The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Nintendo had played around with the idea of an HD remake of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, both of which were originally released on the Nintendo Wii. It turns out their experiment resulted in an HD remake of Wind Waker considering the game’s graphic style and art style translated well on the Wii U given the graphic capabilities of the new system.

Now that The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD will soon be available on the Wii U, that doesn’t mean Aonuma-san isn’t thinking about giving Twilight Princess or Skyward Sword an HD remake as well. “I can’t say that the possibility is zero that those will be made into HD, but right now I need to work on the next installation in the series so I don’t have the bandwidth to do that right now,” he said during an interview with Polygon. “But maybe it will happen if someone else does it.”

Calling all Fishing Fans! Now there’s no need to polish up your fishing pole, get out a fancy lure, or go out and buy a new reel and rod to prepare for a weekend fishing trip. Instead, just purchase the pre-release for Hooked (ships in September), a fishing game for the Wii which EBGames is selling with a “free fishing” controller.

That’s right, you’ll get a fishing controller. They’re calling it “free” yet they’re slapping a $60 price tag on the game, so it’s really not free. While the thought of fishing in my living room does sound silly, it actually looks like it might be fun to at least try once. I guess if they have a steering wheel for the Wii, why not a fishing pole?

According to the EB Games site, they say to plan on working up a sweat “as you lean your Wii Remote in every possible direction, all the while, reeling the Nunchuk like crazy to catch the big one! Immerse yourself in the fight with realistic fighting controls.  It’s as if you have a rod and reel right in your hands!”

Hopefully they have a variety of fish for people to catch so they don’t get sick of catching the same ole’ kind. I think these add-on controllers could turn into a big money-maker for Nintendo because even non-fishing fans may get suckered into this one.

So, come September 3rd, you can get your hands on Hooked and the “free” fishing controller for $60. Any takers? I say, if you want to go fishing, why not just go fishing and experience the real deal?
