It’s been one year since the WiiU hit store shelves, one year since I woke up bright and early on a foggy Sunday morning and made my way to GameStop to pick up my console. In the One Year since I’ve had this console I can honestly say with no doubt that I have been enjoying it. I’ve personally...

Unethical?



Recently Gamestop has started selling specific "rare" titles under their "vintage" used game label at a very high premium, including some recent Wii titles such as Xenoblade Chronicles released on April 6th 2012 for $89.99 and Metroid Prime: Trilogy for $84.99 which in both cases is over twice the MSRP.

DISCLAIMER: The opinion expressed in this article does not reflect the entire opinion of the website, only the writer.

It is well known that the Nintendo Wii console was the one who brought a lot of casual gamers who tried to get into the gaming consoles, and since then a lot of developers and publishers, for most of the time, brought a lot of casual, simplified or simpler games into said console, pretty much all of them being easy games, however that doesn't mean that there wasn't any hardcore games or games that appeal to said market on the Wii as it did had plenty,...

eShop Report Card is a reboot to eShop 72, a feature revealing the early success of eShop releases after launch. Last edition was in September of last year. The reason why I discontinued eShop 72 was that the later months of 2012 was embarrassing that I just didn’t want to bother. The first week of March in 2013 is a great starting point to return to this feature with a redeemable new name, eShop Report Card. eShop 72 focuses...

Our favorite WiiWare games!



With the WiiU only a few short days away, and the end of the Wii drawing nearer; the staff here at Wiiwarewave have decided to reflect back on their favorite Wiiware games of the past 6 years. Here we'll talk about our favorite WiiWare game in this staff viewpoint article.

A true gentleman purchase retail games at the Nintendo eShop

No matter how you feel about digital retail and the current absent of a unified account system, I really appreciate that new digital retail releases receive midnight launch status that they normally won't be at retail stores (unless you leave near Nintendo World Store). As a Professor Layton enthusiast, I definitely want to be a part of that midnight launch event. However, it's not a digital...

On this latest A Videogame Discussion featured article, I'll discuss on why should I encourage future Wii U owners to mostly pay Wii U titles at their full MSRP suggested retail price.

A few days ago, Nintendo announced that they're selling each Wii U system

I have to be honest; the Wii is not my favorite Nintendo system (it’s almost over), which is why I can only come up with 5 that are worthy of a 9 rated score or higher. Titles such as Xenoblade and The Last Story are not listed because I hadn't got a chance to since my Wii no longer reads dual-layer discs. From those 9 titles that I experienced though, I don't regret owning the system. Below are my top 9 Wii retail titles you should already own in your Wii collection.

Gotta Catch em' All!



With the release of Pokémon Black and White 2 almost here it's time to look ahead to the future of the series on the 3DS and Wii U!
