At least I'll destroy this pain and this loneliness.
Given last week's revelation of the Wii U's retail lineup being cricket chirping except for the obvious after next week, of course the attention is focused on the retail games. There's Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, which got two reviews (mine, Daan's) that ended up at the same very high score, and Mario and Sonic at the Rio Olympics, which, uh, didn't. Also, Mighty No 9 released this week, and following some near brickings might actually run on Wii U now following an update. Will it be worth it? Only the Shadow knows.
The Wii U Virtual Console picks up the odd combination of three Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games this week: Red Rescue Team GBA, Blue Rescue Team DS - yes, they did two versions of one game on two systems, 2006 was WEIRD - and a DS sequel. There's also updates to Minecraft, a game with a very checkered history on this website hitting New 3DS VC, and a eShop sequel in Star Sky 2 to wrap a surprisingly busy week.
Meanwhile, Europe is loading up as well. We have TMS, Mario and Sonic (including a demo), Mighty No 9, Style Boutique (Savvy) and Majora's Mask on Virtual Console (WARNING: 50HZ VERSION OF MAJORA), and a lot of DLC. Plus that old 3DS game that's being localized, Teddy Together? It's also getting a demo this week. Steel thy memory cards!
