'Virtual themepark' to introduce consumer to the Wii U Gamepad
Nintendo has used its ongoing E3 press conference to confirm Wii U Nintendo Land.
Described as a 'virtual themepark', Nintendo Land has been designed to demonstrate the abilities of the Wii U's distinct Gamepad to the consumer.
The title effectively serves the same role as Wii launch title Wii Sports did in introducing a new controller concept to the consumer.
Nintendo Land is a single game with 12 different 'attractions' built around classic Nintendo IP, including Donkey Kong and Zelda.
Nintendo Land's creation was lead by Katsuya Eguchi, 'Wii U software producer'.

The user could either change the pace of the dance, or make players hold their position during a song.
Ubisoft also presented various uses through its ZombiU title, such as using it as a scanner, a sniper scope or as a motion controller to shake off enemies.
Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-aime was also asked to hold up the gamepad to his face, where the on-screen camera changed his facial features to look like a zombie.

Developers encouraged to submit proposals as Gambitious funding model readies for summer launch
A new games-specific equity-based crowdfunding platform has made a call for developers to submit proposals.
Gambitious is pitched as the first professional crowd funding platform exclusively dedicated to the games industry, and has now joined forces with a group of developers and publisher Mastertronic.
The platform, hailing from Holland, offers a hybrid model where both consumer donations and equity investment can be directed towards a given project. At E3 2012 Gambitious has asked developers established and newly-formed to prepare proposals.
“We are absolutely ecstatic to be working with guys who have been championing and empowering independent game developers for so long, as we all see the crowdfunding opportunity as something that, if handled properly, could truly change the industry for indies of all sizes," said Paul Hanraets, Gambitious co-founder.
The platform will cover funding across both the United States and the European Union, and will let developers indicate how much capital is required to fund a project, and the amount of equity in the project offered in return.

- Xperia Play News
Taiwanese OEM joins Sony's PlayStation Certified licence programme.
The move has been rumoured for a few months now, and a short statement from HTC has made it official.
For Sony, this is a minor breakthrough as the firm has been keen to expand the range of Playstation compatible devices away from just its own handsets.
Sony (then Sony Ericsson) launched the The Xperia Play in spring 2011 as its first PlayStation phone. The device features PlayStation-branded buttons, a flip-screen and links to the PlayStation Suite platform, which allows gamers to download PSone and Android software.
"HTC is focused on delivering innovative mobile experiences for people everywhere and SCE's immersive world of gaming will bring compelling entertainment to HTC One customers across the globe," said Kouji Kodera, chief product officer of HTC.
In another corporate re-think, Sony will rename PlayStation Suite to PlayStation Mobile and seek to accelerate the expansion of PlayStation Certified devices further.

Nintendo will launch Wii U with a price tag of around 30,000 yen (£249/$383).
That's according to a report in Japanese business paper Nikkei (via Andriasang).It's unclear where the paper's information comes from, but we might not find out if it's on the money for a while yet.
Nintendo is due to showcase the final Wii U hardware during its E3 press conference tomorrow afternoon, but has said it'll be saving a price announcement for later in the year.
The newspaper also claims Nintendo will reveal a new larger 3DS at the conference tomorrow.
Nintendo kicked off its E3 offerings last night with a surprise Sunday Nintendo Direct broadcast, showing off the first footage of Mario Wii U and announcing the Miiverse online feature. If you didn't stay up late to see it all unfold you can watch the broadcast again via our Nintendo pre-E3 broadcast: As it happened article. Enjoy.

Disappointed that there was no word of Xbox 720? Microsoft says there's no need, thanks to its "biggest year for blockbuster games in Xbox history".
The platform holder confidently claims that the next twelve months is going to be better than any previous year for Xbox 360 users, thanks to the like of Halo 4, Call of Duty Black Ops, Gears of War: Judgment and a wealth of new Kinect and XBLA games.
Due for Microsoft's console throughout the next year are:
Ascend: New Gods, a new XBLA RPG from the makers of popular action title Toy Soldiers. Players will be able to continue their war efforts against their enemies on their mobile phone, strengthening their forces in game.
XBLA racer Avatar Motocross Madness, the latest in a string of games that let you play as your Xbox Avatar.
Dance Central 3, the second sequel to Harmonix's hugely popular Kinect dancing series, featuring tracks from Usher, Daft Punk, Gloria Gaynor, 50 Cent and more.
Lionhead's Fable: The Journey which brings Kinect functionality to Microsoft's flagship RPG series. The game will be released in the UK on October 12th.
FIFA 13, which now feature voice commands via Kinect
Forza Horizon, the first entry in the series to go beyond racing circuits and onto the open road - even throwing traffic into the mix.
Epic Games' prequel Gears of War: Judgment, which takes fans back to Emergence Day, a pivotal event in the Gears universe. Judgment will be released in early 2012 around the world.
Halo 4, Master Chief's comeback, which features Xbox SmartGlass connectivity and a brand new story-driven multiplayer experience called Spartan Ops.
Happy Wars, a multiplayer action game that focuses on cartoon-style arena combat.
Stunt-centric title Joe Danger: The Movie, which allows gamers to create their own wacky action films.
Lococycle, a martial arts action game starring a cybernetic assassin.
Madden 13, which - like FIFA 13 - will allow players to call out commands to their teammates via Kinect's voice control.
Side-scrolling stealth action game Mark of the Ninja
Matter, a mysterious title developed for Xbox 360 and Kinect in collaboration with Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinski.
Resident Evil 6, the next blockbuster from Capcom's survival horror series. All DLC for the game will be made available for Xbox 360 before any other platform.
South Park: The Stick of Truth, an RPG set in the animated world created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone. It is due for release on March 5th, 2013 and sees players rally familiar South Park chracters against crap people, hippies and other forces of evil.
Square Enix's action adventure Tomb Raider. Like Resident Evil 6, all DLC will be temporarily exclusive to Xbox 360.
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist, the latest entry in Ubisoft's stealth action series. This time Sam Fisher must hunt down terrorists that are trying to force the US to withdraw its troops from global hotzones.
Wreckateer, an Angry Birds-style Kinect game in which players use a catapult to destroy medieval castles.
“2012 is a landmark year for Xbox,” said Phil Spencer, Corporate Vice President of Microsoft Studios.

Amazon has a bit of good news today for those that have opted for its least expensive e-reader. The company has just begun rolling out a software update (version 4.1.0) that brings with it a new reading font that's said to be "higher contrast and crisper" for an even more "paper-like reading experience." Other additions include expanded parental controls that let you restrict access to the web browser, archived items, and the Kindle Store, as well as support for the more complex layouts and formats offered by Kindle Format 8 books, improved table and image viewing, and support for children's books with Kindle Text Pop-Up and comic books with Kindle Panel View -- the latter of which lets you view comics panel by panel (when such books are available in the "next few weeks," that is).
