Nintendo to Change the Name of the Wii U?
A few different places are reporting that they have confirmation that Nintendo will be changing the name of their newest home console, the Wii U.
This rumor is coming after Nintendo had their investors briefing yesterday afternoon. The reason behind the change is due to the confusion of the name of the 3DS. Nintendo said that the name 3DS suggested that it was simply a DS with a 3D gimmick, and consumers didn’t know that it was indeed a new DS with new hardware. The name Wii U could potentially have the same effect on the market, and consumers could once again think the Wii U is just a gimmick.

Wii U Coming Holiday 2012
Nintendo has narrowed down the release window for the Wii U once again.
Nintendo has been very selective with it’s words when asked about the Wii U launch date, but Iwata has finally made period official. The Wii U will be launching during the holiday period of 2012 in Japan, North America, Europe, and Australia. While this news is not shocking at all, it does mean that a September or October release is not happening in any way.
Iwata also stated that all of the launch titles will be at E3 2012 as expected. Cross your fingers for some awesome first party titles. Star Fox anyone?

Megaman X Retro Review
There aren’t a lot of games coming out in the gaming world right now. I’ve found myself playing one of my favorite classic series, the Megaman X series. So I have decided to review every last Megaman X game, starting with the original Megaman X
In the late 80’s and early 90’s the Megaman franchise was getting a little stale. After six stellar games on the NES, fans started getting sick of the repetition, and wanted something new from their favorite blue bomber. Capcom decided that when they would bring Megaman into the 16 bit era, that they would do it in a whole new way.
There are four reasons why the X series is my favorite, gameplay, upgrade capsules, story, and music. Each one of these elements is why the X series became so special to me, and I am going to be talking about them a lot in this ten part series. That’s right, there are eight Megaman X games, with three spin off titles based on the X universe. So let’s take a look at the first title, Megaman X.
Next Xbox to Play Blu-Ray and Stop Used Games?
Even more rumors are making their way onto the internet about Microsofts next home console.
The latest rumors include that the next Xbox will use Blu-Ray for it’s media storage, and that the system will somehow not play used games.
I think it is a pretty safe bet that the 360 will use Blu-Ray, and I am not sure why this is becoming such a big topic. Microsoft is trying to become your media center, and the only way to make that possible is to in fact use a Blu-Ray player. I understand that Sony owns the rights to Blu-Ray, but that doesn’t mean Microsoft isn’t going to use Blu-Ray just because it’s owned by Sony. They could move to a proprietary disc similar to the Wii U, but this is highly unlikely.
The second rumor is that the Next-Box will somehow stop people from playing used games. Now if you remember back in 2005 before the PS3 launched, there were the same rumors flying around. The rumors stated that when a disc was inserted into a console, the console would forever link that disc to that specific console. Obviously that did not happen on the PS3, and I dont believe there is anyway that will happen on Next-Box.
Microsoft makes way to much money off of Xbox Live and it’s services to stop people from playing used games. Used games also make a ton of money from people who buy DLC, and online passes for the certain titles that use them.
It’s only a matter of time until this mystical box is reveled to the world.
