DLCentral Latest News Update

To get you all geared up for the Vengeance DLC pack, Treyarch has flipped the switch to allow double XP on all Black Ops 2 multiplayer modes this weekend. It starts today on June 28th (10am PST/6pm GMT) and ends July 1st (10am PST/6pm GMT) and you can drink it in on the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii U.

 

If you’re unfamiliar with this kind of event, let us explain. Every action you perform in Black Ops 2 multiplayer is rewarded with XP (eXperience Points), which gives you access to bigger and badder weapons and perks. If you play during the double XP you’ll grab extra points and level up quicker to open more of that deadly arsenal on offer. Easy.

In theory, Xbox 360 players should be fully boosted for the Vengeance DLC launch, which happens the day after the double XP weekend closes. Here’s what you can expect……

Nevertheless, a partial excuse, that the House of Kyoto took its: before choosing to abandon the “feast” of the classic La-based Conference in favor of a more concise and sober Direct, then install demo not able to give the perspective of the real value of Super Mario 3D World. But, looking at the glass half full, it is also true that in this manner we throughly enjoyed the pleasure of discovery, enthusiasm across the total reversal of the convictions that we have grasped the GamePad for the first time, addressing the 1-1 level, without imagining what would have been the beginning of an amazing journey …

Nintendo survival guide: 5 ways to save Wii U from being dead

JadeWalsh

Here are five ways Nintendo can save the Wii U from becoming dead in a variety of unfortunate and potentially fatal situations.

How Nintendo can save Wii U from… a bear attack

 

Bears are dangerous and can easily kill a Wii U with its hands and mouth. If a bear attacks a Wii U, Nintendo should stand its ground and make lots of noise – sometimes this will scare the bear away as long as the bear isn’t deaf or hard of hearing. Climbing a tree can also be a good idea, unless the attacking bear is a black bear, which is a type of special climbing bear, in which case it’s not a good idea.

How Nintendo can save Wii U from… a house that is on fire

 

Wii U is made of plastic, which is a type of material that is allergic to the sort of extreme heat that comes from fire. In the event of …

Iwata compares this to making a whole new game

Big news, Wii U fans. It seems Nintendo are getting to grips with downloadable content after all, which is signalled by this massive announcement about New Super Luigi U – a huge expansion for New Super Mario Bros. During the Nintendo Direct conference,  Mr President, Satoru Iwata, even compared the size of this Luigi-driven DLC to that of a new game, so expect a whopper.
