Oh wow. I played through part 1 on my PS3 and didn't know it was broken. All I remember was fighting Grace and Glory a million times.

All the flaws people were talking about with the PS3 version were pretty much graphical, plus bad load times. Really odd to me the dodge mechanic is delayed. Everything else works just fine.


Also I think I'm gonna go on a Wii U buying spree soon. I never owned a Wii either so I'll have to snatch up everything good. Gonna get expensive

Played the demo for Wonderful 101. The controls and mechanics definitely take getting used to, but it's still a solid game and I'll pick it up for sure one of these days. It's on sale for $30 on Nintendo's shop... plus most other places


Also wanting to check out Xenoblade Chronicles X. Everyone seems to be going nuts over that game, it seems.

For those who don't have a Wii U, just know the battery life on the gamepad is pretty bad. I think I can get ~3 hours of play before it needs to be charged. If I play once a day I have to charge every other day or so.

Then there's this..

$40 for an 8 hour battery...

Well I guess they're done...

Nintendo Officially Announces Wii U Production Is Ending - IGN

Following reports last week that Wii U production is ending, Nintendo has confirmed it will soon end production of the console in Japan.

According to an announcement posted on Nintendo's official Japanese site (translation via Kotaku) Wii U "production is scheduled to end soon," with the post later specifying it's "within Japan."

A Nintendo representative has further clarified the end of Wii U production, providing the following statement to IGN:

As recently posted by Nintendo on the Wii U website in Japan, Wii U production will end in the near future for the Japanese domestic market. We have nothing to announce in terms of exact timing.We can confirm that as of today, all Wii U hardware that will be made available in the North American market for this fiscal year has already been shipped to our retail partners. We encourage anyone who wants Wii U to communicate with their preferred retail outlet to monitor availability.”
Still love my Wii U. Still have no desire to get any new Playstation or Xbox. The first comment in the comment section nailed it, though.

Fun console, some excellent games, but it never stood a chance with Nintendo mailing in their branding effort, and then refusing to market the thing.

Gamestop has a refurb unit for $190 with 2 games. Nintendo will still honor the 1 year warranty.

I only have Nintendo games and a few Lego games... I primarily use it for streaming and first party content.
