We’re gathered right here right this moment to mourn the lack of Nintendo’s most misunderstood console, the Wii U. Sure, once more — as a result of Nintendo Japan introduced right this moment that they’ve run out of restore elements for the console, and as such will not be repairing it. As soon as its bricked, it’s bricked for retains. That’s to not say that the Wii U was essentially sturdy up up to now. Nintendo shut down the shop on the console earlier this yr, which primarily put the console’s neighborhood on life help.
However nonetheless, I wish to take a minute to as soon as once more discuss how a lot I just like the Wii U and the way a lot I miss having the ability to use it freely. With out the Wii U and its awkward, boxy handheld controller, you don’t have the Change with its sleeker design, nor do you might have the hybrid system that’s made the Change such a runaway success. The Wii U could not have had fairly as redoubtable library because the Wii or the Change, nevertheless it’s nonetheless the console the place I performed Bayonetta 2, Metroid Prime, Breath of the Wild and Shovel Knight for the primary time. Certain, my Wii U is principally only a repository for retro video games at this level, nevertheless it nonetheless holds a spot of honor in my console cupboard.
The opposite information of the week is that Capcom revealed extra about its slate of video games popping out within the subsequent few months. These embrace the Lifeless Rising Deluxe Remaster, Resident Evil 7 on Apple units and Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess. Their showcase was a fairly transient little occasion, and I imagine they had been fairly clear about what they had been going to indicate. And but, there have been nonetheless those that had been hoping to see a brand new Dino Disaster introduced. I’m unsure why we do that to ourselves — Capcom isn’t even bothering with Exoprimal anymore.
In private information, I’ll be dipping again into the Hoyoverse this week as Zenless Zone Zero has formally launched. I don’t suppose I’ll have time to get again into Closing Fantasy XIV, as a result of I’m a number of expansions behind and wish to sleep someday earlier than September. I’ll most likely additionally check out The First Descendant as soon as its tumultuous launch interval has settled down.
