Nintendo Wii U

Nintendo announced during a live stream today that the Wii U's first major update is about to drop.

Sales of the Wii U in the UK have rocketed by 125 percent this week, thanks to the release of Monster Hunter: Ultimate.

Nintendo has vowed there'll be no Wii U price cut, but that hasn't stopped retailers slashing at the RRP.

Though the Wii U failed to meet sales expectations, Nintendo says it is not considering a price cut any time soon.

Nintendo's in the money as it announces a profit for the last year - but its future is far from certain as it cuts its expectations for the Wii U and 3DS.

Nintendo has played right, A, down, right, A, down on its Ocarina of Time and brought old Nintendo games to the Wii U with the newly-announced Virtual Console.

It promises the same kind of revolution the original Wii gave, but you can make your Wii U work even better.

Nintendo claims Wii U sales in 2012 were "not bad," which is not the most encouraging endorsement.

Nintendo is bringing a Google Maps app to Wii U early next year, complete with gyroscope-controlled Street View.

Nintendo's president has apologised the company's latest console wasn't ready to get online out of the box.
