While many people are likely still waiting for the popular streaming app to appear on the Switch, Netflix has been available on the Wii U for years. Today, the app received an update, which should download automatically. There are no documented patch notes so it’s not fully clear what this update changes, though it’s likely nothing major. Anyway, it’s good to see that Netflix is still supporting their app on Wii U for those who still use Nintendo’s previous home console as their streaming device of choice.

Dragon Quest has always been one of those series that’s remained niche for some reason, despite having a long and seminal history within video games. Throughout its many installments, we’ve seen Dragon Quest branch out and explore genres outside of its familiar RPG style. Dragon Quest, unlike some other properties that have a myriad of spinoffs, has actually adapted into these other genres rather fluidly, and the addition of Dragon Quest Builders adds to the list of awesome titles that hold their own outside of the main series, bringing a Minecraft aesthetic to the universe. While it may look like Minecraft at a glance, at the end of the day this really is just another Dragon Quest RPG, only with an emphasis for building and crafting. It’s an amazing mechanic that works to its favor, and with a storyline and vibrant worlds to keep you busy from chapter to chapter, Dragon Quest Builders is a game that’s very difficult to put down whether you’re familiar with the series, genre or not.

The 21st D.I.C.E. Awards were hosted earlier tonight, and it included a special honor for Nintendo’s Genyo Takeda, who spent 45 years with the company. Takeda was presented with the show’s seventh Lifetime Achievement Award. The full presentation, including Takeda’s speech, can be seen below.

As for the other awards, many Nintendo-related titles were selected across various categories. The big winner was Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which received a total of four selections, including Game of the Year.
