I think it's a combination of a lot of factors. My conspiracy-theory is that they started development first on the PC, because it is the easiest to develop for. Either they lied about how the Wii U version looks, or they just dabbled with it. When the Xbone and PS4 were announced, they were probably thinking "Yes! Easy port-city! Let's ditch the Wii U version but not say anything!" I don't know if Bandai Namco played a part in getting Slighty Mad to ditch the Wii U, but I won't throw them under the bus. Development on the three similar platforms of PC, Xbone, and PS4 happened simultaneously. It's kind of like how Ubisoft worked on the Wii U version of Watch Dogs after the other versions came out. After Project Cars was released, they tried to port the PC/Xbone/PS4 version to Wii U. Of course it's gonna be difficult because Wii U's specs are not as good. What did they expect? If they had been honorable and not lazy from the beginnin...

Pros: + The 2-disc Gamecube original is now only 1 disc + Great graphics that hold up today + You gotta give the developers credit for trying new things like the Partner-System + You get some more backstory in the Resident Evil universe Cons: - The only real con I have is that itemboxes are now gone, and now you have to manually manage your items throughout the entire game. It makes more real-world sense (how can a magical box conveniently access the same cache of items regardless of location) but it becomes annoying in actual gameplay.

I finally reached the Max Rank of Cat Queen today, July 4th, 2015. Splatfest was so fun. You see Callie and Marie performing on top of trucks, everyone's dancing or moving to the beat in Inkopolis, maps are night-based, there is new and remixed music, and the ink glows in the dark! Thank you Nintendo. This event surpassed my expectation. I wonder if the Cat-side will win, and how many Super Sea Snails I will win. Happy Independence Day. Celebrate your independence from playing ugly, colorless, and boring games, by playing beautiful, colorful, and fun games like Splatoon.

I thought this was really beautiful - seeing flowers growing through the concrete in Inkopolis Plaza in the videogame Splatoon for Nintendo's Wii U. I hid the reticle, but I couldn't hide the "Show reticle" tool-tip on the bottom-right.

I just pledged £65 to Yooka-Laylee's Kickstarter.

#SmashBros #WiiU

It's fairy easy to reveal 100% with Mewtwo in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS. Just use Neutral-air.

The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD is still gorgeous.

I thought this was cute. Kirby and Elline in the sand from Kirby and the Rainbow Curse for Wii U.

Elline for Smash 4!

Interactive Memory 3/24 This is a week full of interesting releases - okay, only two off the top of my head: Bloodborne and Remember Me: Episode 2; I mean Life is Strange - Episode 2. Episode 1 was really interesting and I didn't replay it fully; I did replay the asshole-dad scene until I got as close to the thing I wanted. I couldn't get everything I wanted. This would be interesting played all at once or like once a week. On the plus-side, this is evidence that they are actually developing it and then releasing it, as opposed to what Capcom seemed to do with RER2, which was to make the game and then split it up so that you had to buy a Season Pass or each episode separately. I couldn't give much less of a darn about Bloodborne. But for PS4-owners, this might finally be the first good new-gen game that has both good graphics and lasting gameplay. Mario Party 10 came and went. I don't want to buy it because there's no online multiplayer, and I don't have frien...
