Well, it finally happened; after six years of development, four years of console releases and a multi-billion dollar buyout by a console competitor, Minecraft is FINALLY hitting the Wii U. Our leading authority on all things Steve Andy Goergen has written a buyer’s guide on the subject, and his review will come soon.
In other release news – the poor sods – the 3DS picks up a couple of intriguing titles with Circle’s sequel to Legend of Dark Witch and the oddly named The Delusions of Von Sottendorf and His Square Mind. In Virtual Console news, it doesn’t take Deep Thought to know the 3DS stays losing, but the Wii U picks up two Mega Man GBA games for the price of three.
Europe is playing a lot of catchup this week on 3DS, as the Kemco RPG Chronus Arc and the Genesis (Mega Drive) remaster of Steel Empire reach the shop. The catchup carries over to Virtual Console, where Mario Tennis, New Super Mario Bros and Onimusha Tactics are all coming over – though if you were insane enough to buy Mario Tennis Ultra Smash digitally, you’re ahead of the game. Also, Napster is coming to Wii U, sadly without the ability to anger members of Metallica.
