Nintendo Network Coming to Wii U

It’s finally coming, the Wii U will feature a full online system called the ‘Nintendo Network.’ The “Nintendo Network,” will cover “competitions and communication among users, as well as the sales of digital content,” Iwata said, for both 3DS and Wii U.

For the Wii U, the Nintendo Network will support multiple personal user accounts per system, finally ending Nintendo’s insistence on tying software purchases to a single system.

Next Xbox to Feature Blu-Ray

Following from the internal information on the next generation Xbox, we now have a report saying that next Xbox will feature Blu-Ray. This is not just additional support, all games will be made on a Blu-Ray disc.

So you’re thinking, “Awesome, no more smaller games because of another console supporting Blu-Ray!” well, maybe not, because every release of a PlayStation has brought a new disc type, so will Blu-Ray be out of date before Xbox 720 even gets it and will the Xbox 720 hold back some games from going their full extent? We will have to see.

MW3 DLC Schedule Released, Confuses Everybody

Get your wallets ready! Call of Duty DLC is on the horizon, with the first DLC coming this February, but not in a map pack, and a release every month just for Elite members, no, maybe it comes bundled after three months for those not-worthy non-subscribers? Does that PSN one-month wait still apply? Oh, we’ll all figure it out eventually, right? Look at this, Activision has made a nice, convenient video tutorial on how to extract money from your pocket in exchange for their overpriced DLC! Below is the schedule for their upcoming DLC. Well, I’ll be playing Battlefield 3 in the meantime!

2. March: Map, two missions
3. April: Two maps

Jak and Daxter HD Collection Hits PS3 Soon, 100+ Trophies, 3 Platinums

Before Naughty Dog developed the popular Uncharted series on the PS3, they dominated the PS2 with the popular Jak and Daxter series, these were no doubt some of the most memorable games from our PS2 library. In case you don’t remember the news we posted a few months back, they’re coming to the PlayStation 3 with remastered, HD textures, 3D support, and trophy support! That means that there are over 100 trophies to collect along with 3 Platinum Trophies to get! (These trophies look pretty reasonable to get too!)

The best thing about all this craziness is that this game is only gonna cost you $39.99/€39.99. Honestly what games should cost now, and for that price you get Jak and Daxter 1, 2, and 3 in this collection, all remastered and packed with all these great features. The game releases February 7th in the US and on February 22nd in EU and I personally cannot wait to pick this one up!
