No, that’s not a typo. Welcome to the Weekly Warp-Up, your weekly wrap-up of the biggest and the best articles posted at Warp Zoned this week…
Nintendo has always done their own thing. It’s their greatest strength and their biggest weakness. And it’s part of why the company is so beloved even as the PS4 and Xbox One surpass the Wii U in market share. This week, Nintendo took a bold step forward and told gamers… uh, don’t forget us, we still exist!
OK, so it wasn’t a major marketing push, this is still Nintendo after all.
But the consolemaker made a few big announcements this week, including confirmation that Super Smash Bros. For Wii U will be released on November 21. The company also confirmed that Super Smash Bros. For 3DS has sold almost three million copies so far, cementing it as one of this year’s biggest hits. But they weren’t done. Nintendo also announced that Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, the adorable game everyone secretly wants to play, will be released on December 5. And they revealed their new “Nindies” line at IndieCade 2014, including a never-before-seen version of Beatbuddy for the Wii U.
Not a bad week for The Big N. More news from the week that was can be found after the break.
