The NES Classic Edition gaming console has been such a huge hit that Nintendo has struggled to produce enough units to meet demand.

We’re so close to 2014 that no one bothered to make any new videogames to close out the old year. However, while 2013 concludes, the year of Luigi continues to bear fruit. Dr. Luigi (eShop for Wii U) Ah, Nintendo… Just when you think the company might announce a huge game to help fill out...

Brian Hoss — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 16:00:26 +0000

Lest anyone forget, this is the year of Luigi. Largely on account of a dearth of post-E3 game launches, ‘New Super Luigi U’ stands tall this week without even a hint of a haunted mansion, among other motley titles in this week’s Videogame Releases. New Super Luigi U (eShop) ‘New Super Luigi U’ arrives this...
