Bayonetta 2 Coming Exclusively to the Wii U on Oct. 24th

Bayonetta 2
Hey there.  Bayonetta was a huge hit when it first hit the scene a few years back.  It was stylish, it was breathtaking, it was over the top... but fans LOVED it!  The controls are slick, the action intense, and the graphics are gorgeous.  So imagine just how much more awesome Bayonetta 2 will be!  It promises to take everything to the next level!  The Umbra Witch, herself, will be more powerful with a new set of moves and weapons, and the game will feature several single and multiplayer modes.  Taking down angles and demons in this thrilling quest is just another day at the office for Bayonetta!  And guess what... Bayonetta 2 is exclusive to the Wii U!  So let's take a look at what the game has to offer.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker for the Wii U

Hey there.  You know, Toad has always been one of my favorite characters from the Mushroom Kingdom.  Whenever he's available as a playable character, more often than not, I choose him to be my guy.  So when Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker was announced for the Wii U, I was pretty glad that my man Toad was getting his own game and adventure!

Ganondorf Confirmed as a Playable Character in Hyrule Warriors

Ganondorf in Hyrule Warriors
Hey there.  Hyrule Warriors is really bringing on the hype!  Our first real glimpse at a Zelda game for the Wii U has many fans excited, and for good reason too.  Even though the game is a spin off of The Legend of Zelda series, it's enough to quench our thirst while we wait for an actual adventure starring Link on the Wii U.  Nintendo has been feeding us screenshots and video of many of the announced playable characters of Hyrule Warriors, but none has grabbed my attention as Ganondorf has.  Just look at this beast!

Super Kid Cannon by SkyJoy Interactive Game Trailer

Hey there.  Tired of the same old platform games.  Run to the right, jump on stuff, get powerups, and do it again for another 30 or so levels.  Don't get me wrong, some of them are down right fun and or perfect for introducing a new generation into gaming.  But what about us seasoned gamers?  What if we are looking for a something a little different from our platform games?  Well, our friends at SkyJoy Interactive asked themselves that question and created one hell of a platform game for your mobile devices in Super Kid Cannon.  It has it all:  it's free to play, it's fast paced, it's action packed, and it's family friendly.  But here's what makes Super Kid Cannon unique...  instead of going horizontal, this adventure takes you vertical.  In what can only be described as a "vertical launcher", Super Kid Cannon has you jumping from cannon to cannon, blasting your way to the top to save the damsel in distress.  Here's a brief description of the game:

Press Start Issue #1 March 2013

Looking for video game reviews you say? Well you've come to the right place! Welcome to Press Start. A monthly video game review/preview show by yours truly Brian Alford and my co-host Luke Bayliss. Each month we will be reviewing the games that have come out the month before as well as discussing some of the games that are coming up this month.

I'm sure many of you are scratching your heads wondering why I have decided to call these episodes "Issues" Well I figured that this is a podcast version of a video game magazine so I am going to call each monthly episode an "Issue"
