Abstract: The launch of the original Wii essentially created a new breed of gamers - those who liked to play games that required them to physically move more than their thumbs. The Wii became a console for the casual gamer, and thus it was ignored by those who p...
We have only had hand-on time with the Switch so this is an early first-impressions verdict. We think the Switch is an enticing piece of hardware with its many different ways of playing, improving vastly on the Wii U. Zelda might be enough for many to upg...

The Wii U may not have the same 'wow' factor as the original Wii, but it still represents a matured take on home consoles that we haven't seen from Nintendo before, both in its approach to online gaming and its hardware design. It's the perfect blend of a...
