Wonderful 101, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD, Lego Marvel Heroes, Rayman Legends, Assassins Creed 4, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Batman Arkham Origins and Deux Ex Human Revolution Directors Cut. Gasp.
All of them are really good and different, if only there were a driving game in there and we would be able to point towards the Wii U finally becoming a viable main console. Now don't get me wrong, i know the HD twins are back this month and the Wii U will NOT compete with them, however, in my opinion i don't think that matters. Whenever friends or family ask me about the Wii U i say the same thing, its the perfect SECOND console. Just like the Gamecube before it. There isn't a console out right now that can compete with Nintendo's games, Knack is not Mario, Modnation Racers is not Mario Kart and Nothing is more fun than Smash bros. If you're reading this chances are you will be getting a PS4 or an XBONE, probably not both. But dont let that rule out the Wii U, its growing its own Niche and doing it well.
Anyway rant over!
What have i been playing?
Mass Effect 3: Special Edition
Lets prepare the humble pie.... so those who know me know how much i hated on ME3 on its Xbox 360 release. The ending ruined the series for me, seriously, it was that bad, like a kick in the balls. Due to that i couldn't bring myself to play it any more. So almost a year later i picked up the Wii U version on the cheap and i must say its great. The Wii U version comes with most of the DLC on other consoles which includes the extended (IMPROVED) ending.
The single player campaign is still fantastic, Mass Effect just does a great job of making the player fall in love with the characters and makes you care what happens. Its the best RPG experience on the Wii U so far and if you haven't played it pick it up!
Now the Multi Player, wow, i know its a glorified Horde mode from Gears Of War but its just so much fun. I Had know problem getting into a match, no smack talk from players and no lag. Nintendo cant do Internet eh?
It has some cool features too, i like that you have to press a button on the gamepad touch screen to talk, simple but effective. I like levelling up characters with perks like the single player and i like that it affects the single player.
Overall i would highly recommend ME3 for Wii U to any Wii U owners, for the price you can pick it up for now its completely worth it. And if you haven't played the past games, don't worry, the game has a large opening comic that helps you out so please check it out!
Next up for me on the Wii U games front will be Assassins Creed 3!
Thanks for reading, i swear ill structure the next one!!
