The Wii U introduced the world to the concept of a handheld controller with its unique and slightly awkward design. This controller paved the way for the sleeker and more popular Nintendo Switch, which has become a huge success. Without the Wii U, we wouldn’t have the hybrid system that allows gamers to play on the go or at home. Personally, I have fond memories of playing games like Bayonetta 2, Metroid Prime, Breath of the Wild, and Shovel Knight on my Wii U. While my console may now be primarily used for retro games, it still holds a place of honor in my collection.
In other gaming news, Capcom recently revealed their upcoming lineup of games. This includes the Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, Resident Evil 7 on Apple devices, and Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess. Despite Capcom being clear about what they were going to showcase, there were still those hoping for a new Dino Crisis announcement. Unfortunately, it seems that Capcom has moved on from that franchise.
On a personal note, I will be diving back into the world of Hoyoverse with the launch of Zenless Zone Zero. However, I won’t have time to revisit Final Fantasy XIV as I am several expansions behind and need to catch up before September. I’m also looking forward to trying out The First Descendant once its initial launch period has settled down.
