TGH Writes: "With the launch of a new console comes a torrent of new peripherals for eager early adopters to lap up. The newest console to come to market is, of course, Nintendo’s Wii U, and to accompany its release Mad Catz have brought out a stereo headset for keen gamers to make use of."
Starting today, Rhapsody’s personalized music experience is available to Wii U owners via a free app from the Nintendo eShop. Rhapsody subscribers with Wii U systems can begin listening immediately and Wii U owners who aren’t yet Rhapsody or Napster subscribers can sign up for a 30-day free trial.
Techspot: Nintendo is shutting down TVii, its second-screen video service for the Wii U, less than three years after it began. The company said the feature would “transform how people find, watch and engage with TV shows, movies and sports”, but it gained few fans among console owners.
TK: Examining the boom of motion-controlled devices a few years ago and its recent decline. Peripherals considered include Kinect, Wiimote and PS Move.
I never really bought into the whole motion-control fad. the Wii was cool and so was Kinect. Nothing ground breaking. Its been around since the days of the NES.
