Earlier in the week, Michael Pachter was interviewed by Geoff Keighley on GameTrailers.com.  They mainly spoke about PS4 and XBOX One's foreseen sales ahead of the holidays. Although, when there is Pachter, there is Nintendo talk.

Dear Nintendo, this is 2013 not 2007. So with the news that you released today that Super Mario 3D World will not have online multiplayer, made me throw my computer chair across my room.

Well, if Nintendo have not rained on anyones parade enough this week, prepare for a storm because from the looks of it they we'rent ready for the next generation it seems.

Ubisoft and EA have come out this week and have just simply put the fact out there that the Wii U is not a money making machine.

Super Smash Bros creator Masahiro Sakurai has come out and stated that Nintendo and Namco have no plans to release any DLC.

So, as a Super Smash Bros. fan, I think the one thing I was waiting for was a finalized name for the game being presented at E3 this year. With the trailer being shown this year we were presented with the simple logo shown with the subtitles "For Wii U/For 3DS".

Finally, a Nintendo developer that may actually have the right idea of what to do with one of Nintendo's beloved franchises. Series Developer Eiji Aonuma today expressed a desire to explore the use of DLC in the future of The Legend of Zelda franchise.

It's been reported by multiple users on the NeoGAF forum today that Microsoft representatives have been attending Nintendo's Best Buy events today in order to persuade customers on pre-ordering the XBOX One.

Oh for God's sake, really? At this time of year too. Oh well. It seems that Square Enix are pulling a Ubisoft here and are going back on their promise to Wii U owners. Deus Ex: Human Evolution Director's Cut will no longer be a Wii U Exclusive.

Stickerbrush Symphony. Don't know what I mean when I state it? Google it. It's one of the most beautiful pieces of Video Game Music you will ever hea.  As matter of fact, you may have heard it in Donkey Kong Country 2's Bramble Blast.

Welcome to a new segment that I will be producing Bi-Weekly here on Dashhacks called Q4U. The basics of this little experiment will be to get you guys talking here or on Facebook, where we will correspond with each other and have some nice, good ol' fashion conversation.

While we hear more about DRM hitting the XBOX One and Publisher's having the choice to do so on the PS4, Geoff Keighley had his annual Reggie, One on One Interview and I use the term interview loosely as I like to think of it as more of a war of words between the men.

Anyone remember Crash Nitro Kart? No? Don't worry it was never that good. That's why when Nintendo did announce Mario Kart 8 today I went from pure excitement and joy to almost nervous for the series direction.

Now in terms of visually stunning games there aren't many greater than the Donkey Kong Country series of course.

Nintendo did it again and obviously have been listening to what the fans wanted. And from what was shown it was indeed speaking volumes to what we needed and what we're actually going to get.

Wow! Nintendo just slammed that one right out of the ball park for a home run. Nintendo just wrapped up their E3 Conference with a slew of fantastic games that were just announced, and for anything, these games spoke volumes to the hardcore, of hardcore Nintendo fans.

Nintendo won't be at E3 proper this year but that doesn't mean they won't be announcing what's in store for their gamers. They're presenting Nintendo Direct for all to see. Check it out.

Will Nintendo win this years E3? Or will they dwindle in the wind with the competition set to unveil their new product?

The news with Best Buy and Nintendo's Wii U has gotten worse today. After Nintendo's last Nintendo Direct, where President and COO of Nintendo America, Reggie Fils-Aime promised those at home that they will get to experience E3....

Oh come on, this is a joke now. Tell us the truth dammit! There are now reports spreading that Nintendo have sent word to Best Buy stores to start counting their Basic Wii U Bundles to send back to Nintendo.

After what was confirmed in concrete, with retailers from Gamestop all ready to ship back unsold 8GB White Wii U Consoles, Nintendo have now claimed that they are not nixing the White Wii U.

Still have your Wii? Time to blow off that layer of dust. Newer Super Mario Bros. Wii, the hack that has been in development for over 3 years has finally been released, and I know this because I was part of the teams inception.

Well, of all companies to try and show appreciation to it's fans, it has to be Capcom. With it's dying love from it's supporters over the years who have been screaming out to the company for a MegaMan revamp, the company may deliver this year.

Nintendo are taking their version of social media to the next level for their fans to interact with each other, and that is glorious.

Masahiro Sakurai, Creator of the Kid Icarus and Super Smash Bros Franchise and head of Sora has taken it upon himself to hype up the upcoming Nintendo E3 Direct next Tuesday.

COO & President of Nintendo America, Reggie Fils-aime, has taken to Nintendo's official Facebook today to reveal Nintendo's plans for their virtually interactive and "Direct to you" festivities next week for Nintendo at E3.

I know I'm about to start a mutiny with this title, so please hear me out. Nintendo has obviously been struggling which has lead many to believe we need more games from Mario and Zelda. I've got a few reasons why taking a break from those hallmark franchises might do more good than harm.

With North American GameStop stores ready to pull all 8GB White Wii U Models, Nintendo UK have made a statement today to GamesIndustry International that UK retailers will continue to sell the White Wii U 8GB Model in all official Nintendo outlets.

Are Konami the latest 3rd party developers to turn their back on the Wii U? Adam Bhatti of Konami's PES team has jumped to twitter today to respond to question asked by fans.

After Dashhacks were the first to report this nearly a week ago, it has now come to fruition. Nintendo have informed retailers that they will no longer be manufacturing the Basic Wii U 8GB model.

Pachter's back again and this time he says that with EA's recent comments and poor sales for the Wii U third parties could potentially dump all support for the Wii U by next Christmas.

It was announced that the title would be receiving Deathstroke as a special pre-order DLC Bonus along with the game and the Wii U seemed to have been getting this exclusive as well from what was shown in the trailer.

A few days ago we reported that the first Nintendo3DS Flash cart was about to make it's way into the scene. I immediately contacted the makers of the device to get some clarification on the whole case of how the device works and where and when it would be available.

Nintendo have launched their official E3 website. This will host a slew of Nintendo content that will almost replace the On-stage yearly presentation that Nintendo usually presents.

This is more of a PSA for those who are looking to spare themselves the couple of bucks and buy Nintendo's official controllers of eBay & Amazon, be warned.

Just wow, this one is huge for the Wii U Hacking scene. Wii/Wii U/Nintendo Scene developer Crediar has released a big one today.

Well, it's the end of an era. Before the stroke of midnight, on June 28th, cast your last vote on the Everybody Votes Channel, check the weather around the globe on the Forecast Channel, read the News on the News Channel, check out all the Mii's on the Check Mii Out Channel, and turn off that WiiConnect24.

Well, the Nintendo3DS scene is about to become a whole lot more interesting here. Introducing the Gateway 3DS. It's confirmed to be the very first 100% working Nintendo3DS flashcart, and yes, it's legit.

Nintendo has made the announcement in Japan today, that they will be releasing an all new White Deluxe Wii U Bundle, with a brand new "Fast charge" device for the Wii Remote and Gamepad.

Nintendo and SEGA today officially released it's launch trailer for the much anticipated and upcoming blue hedgehog's next venture, Sonic: Lost Worlds. The trailer revealed that the game would be multiplatform, meaning that we will be seeing the title not only on the Nintendo Wii U, but also on the Nintendo3DS.

Well this one's odd. With the recent announcement of Nintendo's strong partnership with SEGA, which includes a slew of Sonic titles making their way to the Wii U, an image has popped up on the net and is starting to make the rounds.

The Wii U Sales trend in the U.S. continues to slowly go downhill. According to new NPD Sales data, the Wii U only sold 40,000 units in the past month.

It has now been confirmed by numerous sources, and the Classification board of Australia, that Pokemon X & Y will be hitting not just the Nintendo3DS but another platform.

Seems the tide is turning here. It's more negative press for Microsoft, but turning into good sales for Nintendo and it's home console the Wii U.
