Tips & Tricks



From Charles Herold, your Guide to Wii Games

Microsoft recently showed off their upcoming console in a presentation that set alarms off throughout the gaming community. Could this help the Wii U's popularity? I have an essay on that very subject.

Right now I'm playing Sniper Elite V2, which is a lot of fun; expect a review of that next next week. After that it's just a matter of waiting for June 11, when Nintendo is going to give us some new game announcements for E3, which they will broadcast to the world via a Nintendo Direct video. I won't be at E3, but I've got a meeting with Nintendo in New York in late June, so I'll let you know how the games look.


Will Microsoft's Xbox One Strategy Help the Wii U?

Microsoft's virtually gameless presentation of the upcoming Xbox One console suggests that they may have deprioritized the very thing that made the Xbox popular. What will that mean for the Wii U? No one can say for sure, but that hasn't stopped me from considering the possibilities in my article,How Microsoft's New Focus Could Change Gamer Perception of the Wii U.
