The Lylat System is under siege once again with Nintendo’s Star Fox Zero, a reimagining of the Star Fox universe on the Wii U. Using both the TV screen and gamepad to gun down enemies (or annoy wing mates), players control the anthropomorphic Fox McCloud as he pilots his Arwing through both new and familiar settings like Corneria, also utilizing a Landmaster tank that can also turn into a ship, a walker that previously only existed in the cancelled Star Fox 2 for Snes, and the Gyrowing, a kind of hovering helicopter-like craft. Players can aim over a wider area with the gamepad cockpit view, or stick to the TV screen’s third-person action to do their business. Secrets abound in each level, and it will take a mastery of all vehicle types, as well as special moments where little robots can be deployed, to find each and every one.

If you've ever played the game Bayonetta, then you already know what an absolutely psychotic experience it was. The forthcoming sequel, Bayonetta 2, will be a Nintendo Wii U exclusive, and we have a nifty graphic for you to get the blood pumping!

Over on his official Twitter page the game's director, Yusuke Hashimoto, has confirmed that the image you see below is not CG but the debut of actual real-time graphics from the game itself. Alrighty then! How about some release news next? Please? Pretty please?

Coinciding with Nintendo’s New York City press event today, Nintendo of Europe held a presentation to announce that the Wii U will launch across Europe on November 30th.

In keeping with the Wii U‘s Japanese and North American announcements, the system will launch in both a Premium and Basic Pack in Europe. The Basic Pack comes with a white 8Gb Wii U console, a GamePad controller, AC adapters, and an Hdmi cable. The Premium Pack includes the same equipment but substitutes in the 32Gb black Wii U console, and adds a charging cradle for the GamePad, a sensor bar, the Nintendo Land game, and a stand for both the GamePad and console.

The Premium Pack also includes the Nintendo Network Premium rewards program that grants points for digital purchases in Nintendo eShop, and amounts to a 10% discount on future purchases.

Today Nintendo have announced that their latest home console, the Wii U, will launch across the UK and Europe from 30th November. Wii U is an HD console that offers more choice and variety of gameplay than ever before, with brand new gaming experiences enabled by the innovative Wii U GamePad controller, whether playing alone or together with friends. The Wii U GamePad offers an integrated second screen and can also be used independently of the TV set with certain software.

Two launch hardware packs were announced along with the strongest line-up of launch software in Nintendo history. These include third-party heavy hitters such as FIFA 13 from Electronic Arts and Activision’s Call Of Duty: Black Ops II, Ubisoft’s ZombiU and Rayman Legends as well as in-house titles like Nintendo Land and New Super Mario Bros. U. The Nintendo Direct presentation also revealed previously unannounced upcoming software titles exclusive to Wii U,...

Nintendo is publishing the Wii U-exclusive sequel to the Platinum Games' developer character action title. And if you know me, you know this means I have to get a Wii.

Nintendo's new console won't lack for compelling software when it's released in November, but with the announcement that Platinum Games' hirsute witch heroine is coming to the console, now it's a must-buy.

The trailer above doesn't reveal much of anything (save that Bayonetta has some newly-blue gun boots). However, with the that second, sword-wielding character in the shadows, could we be seeing a new nemesis or perhaps a new playable character for the sequel?

According to a post on Kotaku, Okami producer Atsushi Inaba is handling the same gig here while the producer of the first Bayonetta, Yusuke Hashimoto, will be directing this time out.

A couple of things: I wonder how exclusive this exclusivity is and if we might...
