Awesome Metal Tribute To The History Of Video Games!
YouTuber FamilyJules7X has just blown my mind with his absolutely epic metal tribute to the history of video games. In the span of 17 minutes, he manages to cover 38 songs from some of the most iconic video games ever produced (and did it in just over a week!). The waves of nostalgia are so intense, you can almost cut it with a knife and the stunning metal sound will rock the shit out of your eardrums! If you haven't already, be sure to support him by subscribing to his channel and download this excellent compilation (links provided below). Enjoy and please share!

Nintendo Adds Stylus Control In Latest Pikmin 3 Update!
Pikmin 3 is an excellent game that offers lots of options in terms of control. Everything from the GamePad to Wii Remote & Nunchuk (and many options in between) were available from day one with one notable exception. That exception was the excellent touch screen controls present in the underrated Nintendo Land and its excellent Pikmin Adventure.
I always found it odd that stylus control was such a focus (and obvious advantage) in the Wii U launch title but was oddly missing in the fully featured Pikmin 3 which came out nearly a year later. Happily Nintendo has fixed this with their latest update which in my opinion is a game changer for Pikmin 3. While the analog controls were serviceable and the Wii Remote & Nunchuk options worked quite well, nothing beats the new stylus control which offers a level of precision usually reserved for RTS mouse controls. People often bitch and complain about the GamePad due to many developers not fully utilizing it but this new update offers up a very compelling argument in favor of Nintendo's innovative controller. If you haven't played Pikmin 3 in a while, I urge you try the new controls which make an already great game even better.

Super Smash Bros. Wii U Gets GameCube Controller Support!
Nintendo is about to unleash the new Super Smash Bros. at this years E3 and the gaming world couldn't be more excited. The Big N has even stepped into the competitive gaming world with the announcement of an invitational tournament which will feature a slew of pro Super Smash Bros. players, all being featured worldwide on June 10th. To support this event, Nintendo has released an E3 2014 announcement video which details the entire event and ends with a surprise that few saw coming.
With the level of hype and excitement being generated around the new game, fans have been eagerly awaiting any news of GameCube controller support for the game. While there are other companies stepping up to support the game, official Nintendo hardware is second to none both in terms of quality and performance so it's understandable that Gamer's want something straight from the Big N. With today's announcement video, Nintendo revealed the GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii U. The adapter connects to the Wii U through the 2 USB ports on the front of the system and supports four wired controllers (the WaveBird will likely be supported but no announcement has been made). Expect full details and pricing at E3 and don't be surprised if the GameCube Virtual Console is announced as well. Enjoy!
