Nintendo announced the successor to the Wii at this year’s E3: the Wii U, characterized by its HD graphics capability and tablet-infused controller. Many people and even journalists seemed unable to follow the details of Nintendo’s announcement, thinking the announcement to be simply an add-on to the Wii console. This article will serve as a clear explanation for all things Wii U.
Continuining the daily Xbox Live Arcade announcement, Microsoft has officially announced that the popular TV show Hole in the Wall will be transformed into a video and will be coming out this year on Xbox Live Arcade. Hole in the Wall will also utilize the Kinect sensor.
Whether you play solo or with friends, “Hole in the Wall” challenges you to become a human puzzle piece as you contort to fit through wacky shapes that are cut out into themed walls hurtling towards you. Try to pass your body through the wall to boost your score, or you’ll be pushed straight into the water below!
Play through different “show” levels in single or multi player modes (up to 4 competitors), or see if you can handle the challenge of “survival” mode as you attack wall after wall until you drop! Unlock special customization elements for your avatar like a silver spandex suit, helmets, t-shirt and other zany gear as a reward for progress in the game.
Loved the addicting arcade game, “Trials HD”? Well, then we have good news for you!

In the new “Trials Evolution”, there will be all new levels that vary from indoor to outdoor, along with the ability to even customize your own tracks with the new level editor option which will let the user share their creation over Xbox LIVE.
