Game Theory: Rosalina UNMASKED

Super Mario Galaxy's galactic princess Rosalina has become a major part of the Mario universe since her introduction in 2007 but her parentage has actually been a bit of a mystery. Generally speaking this wouldn't be a big deal but Super Mario Galaxy includes quite a bit of in-game story meant to flesh out her character more than the average Mario universe citizen. This has led to a lot of speculation on her history leading the YouTube channel The Game Theorists to spring to action and attempt to uncover the identity of Rosalina's parents. The resulting 2 part series of videos is a must watch for any Mario fan and is sure to blow your mind as it covers everything from genetics to special relativity. Enjoy!

Duck Hunt Is Coming To Wii U Virtual Console!

The NES light gun classic Duck Hunt is finally coming to the Virtual Console service and could mark the start of other classics coming to the service. Since the Virtual Console hit the Wii back in 2006, many fans have wondered when Nintendo's light gun games would come to the service seeing as the Wii Remote would make the perfect alternative to the NES Zapper. For years, Nintendo remained silent and it seemed that games such as Duck Hunt would be lost in the past.

Fortunately, with the release of the new Super Smash Bros., Nintendo has brought back the Duck Hunt Dog and Duck as a playable team and used the opportunity to bring their classic game to the Wii U. To accommodate the move to the Wii U, Nintendo has added an on-screen reticle which is controlled by the Wii Remote. The games official page also states the the game will support 2 player and off-TV play (for those who don't know, the Wii U GamePad has a sensor bar built into it to support Wii Remote pointer control). With any luck, Duck Hunt's arrival on the service will lead to eventual release of other NES Zapper classics such as Hogan's Alley and Wild Gunman (fans of Back to the Future will remember this classic).

Gorgeous New Armikrog Footage!

Armikrog, the spiritual successor to The Neverhood, is progressing nicely after a successful Kickstarter campaign last year. The game is scheduled for a 2015 release on Wii U and even includes gameplay features designed to take advantage of the Wii U's unique GamePad controller, something that indie developers seem to be able to do but big third parties can't grasp. To give eager fans and Kickstarter backers an idea of the games progress, developer Pencil Test Studios has release some new footage of the game in action and the game looks absolutely brilliant! The gorgeous visuals, quirky style/music and classic point-n-click gameplay will make this a must have for Adventure fans next year. Enjoy!
