For those that missed the news back in October, the official Wii U and 3DS online connectivity are going offline “early April”. For those of us with backlogs we now have about 3 months to get our affairs in order before certain titles become harder to enjoy.
I’m planning on digging out Mario Maker and Xenoblade Chronicles X to try and work through during this time.
MM I bounced hard off of because I just wasn’t in the headspace at the time to design my own levels and just put the game down and apparently missed some neat stuff that was made with it. Mario Wonder (and picking up MM 3DS earlier this year to play the 100 or so Nintendo made levels) really rekindled my love for 2D Mario and while it’s going to require taking a break from Wonder… it’s time to revisit this even if I’m going to have to be very selective about what levels I play.
XCX is also on the list because I’ve been meaning to play and finish a Xenoblade game for a couple years now. I don’t think the online was a huge component at least in the early bits I played but I figure this is as good a time as any to dig this out.
I don’t think I’ll get to it but I would also like to dip into Kid Icarus: Uprising, but I figure of all these games this has the most likelihood currently of getting a re-release so it’s a lower priority and honestly competitive multiplayer isn’t really my jam these days.
How about you fami? Is anyone else planning on digging out their old hardware for one final dance before these systems finally ride out into the sunset? What are you planning to play and why?
