Nintendo’s Wii was a roaring success, at least for the first few years of its life. Sell-outs the world over and an ability to draw so-called non-gamers into a market that was previously dominated by hardcore fans had Nintendo’s coffers overflowing. When it came time to put the Wii out to pasture and replace it with something a little more modern, the Wii U was created.

Some people just like taking things apart, but that’s just half of the process. Once you’re left with a big bag of bits, you need to put it all back together again and hope that it works when you press that big power button. Putting it all back together and making it better than the original takes things to a whole new level, and that’s what Ben Heck has become so well known for.

EA Games have finally put Wii U speed adrenaline seekers out of their misery by announcing that the Most Wanted iteration of the Need for Speed franchise will be officially released for Nintendo’s latest gaming platform in March of this year. Need for Speed: Most Wanted has been critically acclaimed as one of the biggest triumphs in the racing gaming genre of recent times, bringing cutting-edge aesthetics and in-depth social features.

With the Wii U having succeeded the original Wii console late last month, count-ups of initials sales numbers seem indicative of a strong start in the market, but Microsoft’s Xbox 360 – despite its age – still came out on top in the early period of holiday sales totals. According to resident numbers firm NPD, the 360 made the most sales during the month of November, with figures boosted on every console thanks to the multitude of Black Friday / Thanksgiving / Cyber Monday specials on offer.

The Call of Duty franchise is the most successful in the gaming world, and although the majority of gamers get their fix on the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 consoles, the next release of the record-breaking Activision series – Black Ops II – will also be coming to Nintendo’s Wii U.

Call of Duty: Black Ops II could be coming to Nintendo’s upcoming Wii U console, according to a report published recently. Check out the details after the jump.

With Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Sony’s PlayStation 3 currently mid-life cycle, and Nintendo’s Wii already on its way to being superseded by the company’s Wii U, take is already turning to what hardware will power the replacements of this generation’s games consoles.

Real Racing 2 is regarded as the best racing simulation on iOS devices and, if today’s update from its developers Firemint is anything to go by, RR2 is set to get even better!

Nintendo’s flagship gaming console, the aging Nintendo Wii, is due for an upgrade really soon, and a big one at that. The replacement, named “Wii U”, announced at E3 today, delivers features that will significantly change the gaming experience for users, including high-definition video, finally.
