The man who made Mario has high hopes for the first of a new generation of gaming machines



In 2006, Nintendo announced the Wii. Everyone laughed at the name, then everyone laughed at the crazy TV remote-style controllers. Then everyone stopped laughing, and there was an odd silence from industry analysts and pundits, who simply didn't know what to make of it. The public, however, did: the Wii became the best-selling console of its generation, cheerfully trouncing the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, by managing to coax non-gamers of all ages into having a go.

Hands-on with ZombiU: is Ubisoft’s zombie thriller a hardcore highlight for Wii U’s launch?

It’s easy to single out ZombiU in the Wii U launch lineup and shout, ‘There, look! The hardcore game! The one for adults! The one with violence that doesn’t involve squashing koopas and smiling back at clouds!’ Ubisoft has had such a lead-out game before, of course: Wii launch title Red Steel. And the comparisons run deeper than those reactionary exclamations.
