wii u update According to this morning’s Nintendo direct, the Wii U will receive two system updates, which look to improve general usability features of the system. Plus, after the Spring update, Nintendo will make Virtual Console titles available on the Wii U. Games will be trickled out slowly, rather than releasing them all at once. Game Boy Advance titles and Gamepad play are all planned. Prices will be the same as the Wii versions, and players who own the Wii versions will receive an unspecified discount.

I've been gaming since my dad made the bad decision of buying me a Nintendo when I was four years old. Every day I'd find myself with my face glued to a TV screen, punching away at buttons, getting furious with Bowser, Dr. Wily, and those freakin' birds in Ninja Gaiden. Since then I have failed to get my parents to play any board game with me, I sold my full copy of Earthbound with box and guide for $300 to some dude in Austria for rent money, and I still believe in Nintendo even after all these years.
