Nintendo Wii U GameCube controller will create more problems than solutions for Nintendo

Nintendo is making a GameCube like controller for the Wii U. This is one of Nintendo's most terrible idea as of late, the Nintendo Wii U will now have the Gamepad, the Wiimote, the pro controller and now this new controller that will reflect a lot to the design of the GameCube Controller. Could this be a step forward or bigger step back since maybe the new controllers are not really appealing to the audience like it was back at launch.

The main reason why this is a bad idea is because the Wii U is now becoming an accessory hub. This means that they're trying to encourage customers to purchase different accessories for different games but even so that's not the issue. The issue is towards Nintendo not having a main audience so these accessories will create clutter and more financial problems for the company.

Another issue I'm having with Nintendo this time, is that all this money can be focused towards developing more games or working with third-party developers to bring more games to the Wii U. Speaking of which, how do you expect for developers to react to this? Now they have to create code for this controller to provide functionality to the games they made. This will also revive an old issue Nintendo had in the past with the Wii U not being able to play GameCube titles on to gamepad. Except this time it can affect all the current games on the Wii U but maybe not affect previous GameCube titles which was probably their main intention.

Nonetheless the focus of Nintendo clearly hasn't changed, they are putting focus on other things aside from the main issue which is games. We keep hearing that they're working on titles but we don't only care about their main franchise games which is what they still don't understand. As a gamer personally I want to see more third-party support so that I know I have variety of games for the Wii U to play.

- Deep Look into Nintendo's Mario Kart 8, could this be Nintendo's next big hit?

*Purchased some memberships, now working with freelance journalist to bring news even faster to you. We however cannot disclose most of our associated sources due to terms and agreements, please enjoy our articles.

As Mario kart 8's tracks go live we learn more about what Nintendo is actually trying to do now.

Nintendo has recently been trying to promote their latest game by discussing and showing the tracks from Mario kart 8. Since they're not planning to do any big announcements during E3 this year they're trying to reach their audience in a different way. One of these ways is that they're promoting both Mario kart 8 as previously stated and they're trying to promote Super Smash Brothers for Wii U and 3DS. Along with showing the roster of characters that will be included in the new Super Smash Bros, they're also showing the new Mario Kart 8 tracks and songs that will accompany them. They not only claimed but showed and proved that most of the songs (if not all) were recorded live.

In most cases Games simply show what the game is about but Nintendo's trying to show every angle of one of their top games in order to encourage customers to buy it. This is where Nintendo can probably shine the best because as of late they haven't been bring in good sales, so perhaps now they can prove to their shareholders that even their top games can still bring in some good revenue.

Now let's talk about Mario Kart 8, Mario kart 8 so far looks extremely well polished at any angle and the way the stages are designed and how they look clearly show that this is the next iteration of the Mario kart series. During Nintendo Direct they showed many of the tracks and many of them have very high textures and also have many 3-D objects running all at the same time aside from just the racers. Mario kart 8 is definitely showing the power that Wii U has over the original Nintendo Wii. They also have to sort of make up for it because the Nintendo Wii U isn't backwards compatible with the GameCube anymore.

Nonetheless Nintendo can hopefully still prove that their games can be AAA quality to date like they were in the past. It also seems that whether it's in the music, in the design, or in Game Concepts; Nintendo can still put well polished games out there standing aside next to games like Halo and Call of Duty which don't bring family-friendly entertainment.

- Nintendo getting desperate for sales?

*Purchased some memberships, now working with freelance journalist to bring news even faster to you. We however cannot disclose most of our associated sources due to terms and agreements, please enjoy our articles.

As many of us are aware Nintendo has been going through some pretty tough times, every time their sales go slightly up they fall even more lower in the coming weeks.

As of late, to counter their falling stocks they have two Mark Kart Bundles coming out fairly soon as well as for the first time ever "DLC passes". The DLC passes will be for the upcoming Mario Golf game for the 3DS because we all know how fun Golf is.

(Game Bundle [without console])

Many of these strategies for the company are to hopefully attract users with affordability and extras like T-shirts but the make-over that Nintendo needs is beyond that at this point. Many consoles have loads of games with DLC, so let's hope perhaps Mario Kart has DLC as well to see further support on the game which could also benefit Nintendo.

- Bungie fires Marty O'Donnell 'without cause'

*Purchased some memberships, now working with freelance journalist to bring news even faster to you. We however cannot disclose most of our associated sources due to terms and agreements, please enjoy our articles.

Bungie posted this recently on their blog.

For more than a decade, Marty O’Donnell filled our worlds with unforgettable sounds and soundtracks, and left an indelible mark on our fans. Today, as friends, we say goodbye. We know that wherever his journey takes him, he will always have a bright and hopeful future.

We wish him luck in all his future endeavors.

However it seems things didn't end at good terms as David Dague suggested. In a tweet that came out on "April 15, 2014", Marty explains how Bungie's board of directors terminated him without cause on April 11, 2014.

I'm saddened to say that Bungie's board of directors terminated me without cause on April 11, 2014.
— Marty O'Donnell (@MartyTheElder) April 16, 2014

Many are speculating that there is something going on behind the scenes at Bungie since it wasn't that long ago that Bungie separated ways with Joseph Staten, who wrote the majority of the Halo story.

- Square Enix shuts down studio?

* = This means our sources for factual evidence, that's right we purchased some memberships, now working with freelance journalist to bring news even faster to you. We however cannot disclose most of our associated sources due to te5ms and agreements, please enjoy our articles.

After a year in entering the market, Square Enix shuts down its Indian operations without the release of a single game.

Square Enix India was set up to develop mobile games in the Indian market in collaboration with Indian Developers. While they didn't develop games themselves they had been working with several developers across India on multiple projects but none were green-lit by Square Enix HQ in Japan.

MCV tried contacting Atul Vibhandik, the now Ex-Vice President of Square Enix India but he refused to comment on the matter, although he did confirm Square Enix HQ had indeed decided to close its India operations.

The Square Enix India office had six employees which are all laid off now.

It is believed that the change in management at Square Enix HQ was the culprit especially since when Fukushima was in charged of management it had been stated that he didn't expect to see results until at least 3 years. Another thing that could be playing a large role is the fact that many of the projects presented weren't even green-lit because despite the lower end market they were aiming towards it still required to be up to par with Square Enix's other games.

- Nintendo forgetting their roots of the "Super Mario Bros." series?

* = This means our sources for factual evidence, that's right we purchased some memberships, now working with freelance journalist to bring news even faster to you. We however cannot disclose most of our associated sources due to terms and agreements, please enjoy our articles.

Update: Nintendo Clarified their mistake 26 mins after and the re-edited version states it was the "Warp Whistle". However Warp Whistle and Zone are not alike which is still a slip up especially for the core games. Who ever posted it mustn't be doing just that, posting it.

Nintendo has blundered in sales, created flops in their past, and even pickpocketed monetized profits from YouTube channels but now they seem to be forgetting their roots. On Twitter today Nintendo of America tried to post a nostalgic fact about Super Mario Bros. and all seemed fine until you read it. Nintendo stated that Warp Zone was first introduced in Super Mario Bros. 3 when the most notable Warp Zone is the one in World 1-2 at the end. Pretty much everyone from the 90s has made that a fact by now in every kids-grandparents brain. However Nintendo is slipping up from all directions lately, someone might be out of a job for this, as this is a slip up to their most profiting franchise.

- PlayStation 4 approaches 6 million sold!

* = (UPDATE) This means our sources for factual evidence, that's right we purchased some memberships, now working with freelance journalist to bring news even faster to you. We however cannot disclose most of our associated sources due to terms and agreements, please enjoy our articles. (And my smashing grammar)

The PlayStation 4 launched in Japan on Saturday and as of recent released statistics* the PlayStation 4 has sold over 322,083 units. This now bumps up the PlayStation 4 closer towards the 6 million sales, with Xbox One following at 3.5 million sales. The PlayStation 4 also did better than the Wii U at launch (Only pulled in 308,570 at launch). However at the end no system has yet matched the Nintendo Wii (371,936; at launch) and PS2 (630,522; at launch) sales.

Within the past two weeks the PlayStation sold 5.3 million units world wide, as of now it is confirmed to have reached over 5.4 million units sold. Japan truly helped pull in some numbers.
