Tonight: NintendoEverything readers voted, and we bring you (in generic top ten list form!) the results for “Best Visuals”, “Best Soundtrack”, and “Most Underappreciated”!

–

The Wii has had a long life– longer than any past Nintendo system in fact– and even though we are but a week and a half from the launch of the console’s successor, we here at NintendoEverything thought it would be fitting to use the weekend before the Wii U explosion as a long send-off to Nintendo’s revolutionary little while box. Tonight, we bring you the first of three parts to our coverage, which make public for the first time the winners for “Best Visuals”, “Best Soundtrack”, and “Most Under-Appreciated” in the large survey I did of your guys’ opinions. They have have been hand-counted (yes– paper, pen, and tallies), written up, and formatted for your convenience, all of which are available below.

Next week’s Japanese Fire Emblem: Awakening DLC is titled “Another Story: Hot Spring of Bonds”.

Krom and his gang head out to a secret hot spring, per an invitation a merchant named Anna. However, the group is unaware of corpse soldiers awaiting their arrival.

The upcoming DLC is heavy on dialogue. The children characters take part in a number of different conversations, and characters Wood, Azure, Lucina and Selena are all involved with scenes in which they wear a yukata. There are special conversations with My Unit, too.

Another Story: Hot Spring of Bonds will be available on November 15. The two-star mission is priced at 200 yen.

Some great news for people worried that the Wii U Gamepad might get weaker and weaker in charge as the console’s lifespan continues: Reports have surfaced (I believe from ShackNews originally) that players can remove the rechargeable batteries from both the Gamepad and Pro Controller and get them replaced! No word on how much the replacements will cost, but they will be purchasable directly from Nintendo.

“The thing about the SmartGlass is that the tablet is a thing that you have with you all the time. Now, in that sense, I understand completely as a consumer and I’m excited to see what these guys do with it. But I do have a problem with it. I now have a screen in front of me on my lap and a screen up on the wall that I’m looking at. Which one should I be looking at? Should I be looking up at the big screen and down, or at my lap and up? Should I be checking down on my lap every few seconds? What’s going to incentivize me to move my eyes from the wall to my lap?” – Game designer Peter Molyneux

This is actually one of the most interesting things I heard brought up about Wii U and other tablet/console gaming solutions! It’s really a double edged sword, because he’s right– sometimes it’s going to be detrimental to have to look between one screen and another, especially in time-critical games like Call of Duty or Tekken. That being said, I think the benefits and possibility truly outweigh the costs! He continued…

“In a way, part of me is excited by this. But part of me is worried that this is a bit of tech which us tech boys get really excited about, and until I see some really great uses of that SmartGlass or the Wii U GamePad, the jury is out for me to be honest with you. I can see it if I’m watching a football game that the scores would come up on the SmartGlass. I’m all there for that. I can see if I’m watching a TV episode and it gives me some background on the actors. I’m kind of there, but I can do that on the internet already.”

He talks a ton more about Wii U, and you can read all of that stuff after the break…
