We can all rest easy now.
Since the Wii U’s unveiling at last year’s E3, many have wondered just exactly how many Wii U GamePads the system would support. Initial showings of the system and game demos always showed just one person using the tablet-like controller, while others playing along used the classic Wii remote controller, which lead many to believe that Nintendo’s new machine would only support a single GamePad. Today those concerns were wiped away.
Senators including the bill's co-sponsor retract their support.
Yesterday, a number of sites, including Wikipedia and That Guy With The Glasses, went "black" in protest of the SOPA and PIPA bills. Both bills have seen mounting opposition from the internet community, Hollywood, and other creative industries. Members of Congress seem to be paying attention, as representatives and senators are dropping their support of the bills left and right.
While it didn't make an appearance at last night's conference, Nintendo did officially reveal and detail it on their website.
It was expected that Nintendo would detail the new 3DS Circle Pad Attachment peripheral during their press conference last night. It was also speculated that the peripheral would be something Monster Hunter specific, designed and created by Capcom. Neither held true when Nintendo revealed the peripheral after the conference online last night. Retailing at ¥1,500, the peripheral will be an officially supported add-on and will be available later this year on December 10, alongside the release of Monster Hunter 3 G, which will include support for the peripheral.
