Somebody told Nintendo never to launch a system without a Mario title. Somebody who likes coins.
Given the great succes of New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Nintendo is bringing back the franchise for the launch of their brand new Wii U system. With a healthy dose of new power-ups, New Super Mario Bros. U is set to offer more than a Mario sidescroller has ever seen before.
Welcome to Nintendo's foray into social media.
Nintendo has long been criticized on their online strategy – something their attempting to address with both the 3DS and Wii U. While we await a more robust presentation concerning online functionality at Nintendo’s press conference on Tuesday, Sunday’s Nintendo Direct presentation shed some light on what kind of functions we should expect with the revelation of Miiverse.
Giggity.
While Family Guy has tried to take the mantle of most popular animated sitcom from The Simpsons, it has a long way to go to reach the levels of video game releases that Fox’s First Family has achieved. After the critical failure of the 2006 PS2 and Xbox game and the cancellation of a 360/PS3 sequel, there’s been little talk of another digital outing for The Griffins. That has changed with the announcement of Family Guy: Back to the Multiverse.
The third DLC pack is on the way.

DC Universe players are getting Flashed (ugh) later this year.
The second pack of downloadable content has been announced for DC Universe Online. Titled Lightning Strikes, the DLC includes electricity powers, making it the 8th power set, and a new adventure starring The Flash. Legendary players will get this content for free while other players can purchase the DLC for $9.99.
The Lego based MMO is ending after a little over a year.
The Lego group has announced that Lego Universe will be closing its doors on January 31, 2012. The MMO developed by Play Well Studios has around two million subscribers but has failed to reach enough revenue to make it profitable. This shut down comes after the title was released 15 months ago. The 115 people who work on the game will be laid off come the 2012 end date.
Available now for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii, and PC/Mac.
