Despite launching the Wii U during November, Nintendo has already set their sights on another way to capitalize on the casual crowd by dropping the original Wii down to $100 and selling it as a Wii Mini. Those of you who have been wondering what Bungie has been up to over the past couple of years after departing from Microsoft, you'll find that they've been working on a little something, something called Destiny and they let loose some new details on the project this week. And Splash Damage, the makers of the high-concept, poorly executed FPS game Brink, has returned to the gaming scene to announce their latest title Dirty Bomb, which is yet another free-to-play, MOFPS. These stories and more in this December 1st, 2012 edition of the Gaming Blend Weekly Recap.
