We’re gathered right here in the present day to mourn the lack of Nintendo’s most misunderstood console, the Wii U. Sure, once more — as a result of Nintendo Japan introduced in the present day that they’ve run out of restore elements for the console, and as such will now 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 strong up thus far. Nintendo shut down the shop on the console earlier this 12 months, which basically put the console’s neighborhood on life assist.
However nonetheless, I need to take a minute to as soon as once more speak about 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 Swap with its sleeker design, nor do you may have the hybrid system that’s made the Swap such a runaway success. The Wii U might not have had fairly as redoubtable library because the Wii or the Swap, but it surely’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, but it surely 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 embody the Useless 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 have been fairly clear about what they have been going to indicate. And but, there have been nonetheless those that have been hoping to see a brand new Dino Disaster introduced. I’m undecided 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 assume I’ll have time to get again into Ultimate Fantasy XIV, as a result of I’m a number of expansions behind and want to sleep someday earlier than September. I’ll in all probability additionally check out The First Descendant as soon as its tumultuous launch interval has settled down.
