Nintendo Finally has News on Wii U

"Nintendo of America has announced a release date for Wii U in the United States, and it's November 18. It doesn't launch in Japan until December 8, but Nintendo launched the original Wii first outside of Japan, too.

There are two sets. The basic set includes a Wii U, Game Pad, AC adaptor, HDMI cable, sensor bar and 8GB of memory. The "deluxe" set also includes 32GB of memory, a Game Pad charging cable, Game Pad cradle, a copy of NintendoLand, and enrollment in a premium service on Nintendo Direct, where you earn points for each purchase and can redeem them later for other purchases. The exact details are unclear.

The big question? Price. It's $299 for the basic set, and $349 for the deluxe set.

As for big game announcements, Nintendo is publishing (funding?) Bayonetta 2 with Platinum Games, Monolith Soft is making a new game, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 is coming to the platform, and there's a new Monster Hunter. Well, "new." Monster Hunter Ultimate (Monster Hunter Tri G U in Japan) is based on the 3DS game, and the save data will be interchangeable between the two platforms. It's available at launch in Japan, and March everywhere else.

Nintendo TVii: Entertainment on Wii U

Today at Nintendo's Wii U Press Conference, Reggie announced that Nintendo's new TV and Film entertainment options will be known as Nintendo TVii.

Nintendo TVii will feature movies, television shows, integration with Hulu, Netflix, TiVo and more, all for the low cost of Free.

In addition, there will be some social features, personalization options, live commentary on both sports and TV shows showing up on the Gamepad screen.

Bayonetta 2 Confirmed: Wii U Exclusive

Today at Nintendo's Wii U Press Conference, Reggie confirmed that one of Platinum Games' new games for the Wii U will be a sequel to the acclaimed Bayonetta, exclusively available on Wii U and published by Nintendo themselves. It looks like Bayonetta just didn't sell enough, forcing Platinum to partner with Nintendo on the publishing effort. Regardless, Bayonetta 2 will sure to be a welcome addition to any gamer's library, considering how well-made the original was.

The moment I saw that moon along with the Platinum Games logo, I immediately knew it had to be Bayonetta. It was the very first thing that popped immediately into my head.

Let's Play Slender w/ Marley

Now, I've seen quite a few reactions to Slender, and even though Marley has no facecam action, it's probably the best I've ever heard. If you really wanna  see  hear someone completely shit themselves in fear, this would be the place.

TheAssailant Reviews: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: Dawnguard

Note: This review will be split between the main game and the Dawnguard DLC. For the main game, click here.

After beating a majority of Skyrim, I shelved it because I had lost interest and didn't have much else to do. And so I patiently waited for the Dawnguard DLC, and bought it almost immediately and began to play it. Though it's still Skyrim, this DLC brings a lot of its own flavor, something I'm used to seeing in the Fallout DLCs (I never played the Oblivion DLCs, but I should get around to doing that soon). Unfortunately, it also leaves a lot to be desired.
