After Inti Creates brought out the latest patch for Azure Striker Gunvolt (the original, not the sequel), an unfortunate issue came about. Players reported problems with Special Mission 5 after applying the patch.

Thankfully, Inti Creates became aware of the situation and created another update. You should be able to access version 1.4 tomorrow – December 22. Once downloaded, Special Mission 5 should work without any issues.

Speaking of Azure Striker Gunvolt, character artist Yoshitaka Hatakeyama made a special wallpaper for Christmas. That’s located at the source link below.

With the third SEGA 3D Reprint Archives collecting launching in Japan, three new themes based on the series are out now coming in at 200 yen each. Each one is based on the different boxarts. Videos for all themes can be found below.

System: Wii U
Release date: December 20, 2016
Developer: WayForward
Publisher WayForward


I’ve never been the biggest fan of Shantae games. In terms of presentation, they’ve always been top notch. With level design, I’ve always found them to be a little bit basic at best and a trudge of back-and-forth at worst. With Shantae: Half-Genie Hero, WayForward has done an impressive job remedying my faults with past entries. It definitely has its share of fetch-quest trade-sequence padding, but thanks to a revised game structure, this didn’t bother me as much as it might have on paper.

Update (12/21): This is now up for pre-order on Amazon US.


Update (12/17): The Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World amiibo bundle is now up for pre-order on Amazon Canada.


Original (12/13): Best Buy is now taking pre-orders for the Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World amiibo bundle. That can be reserved right here. If you’d prefer to pre-order the standalone Poochy plush, you can do so here.

Minecraft: Wii U Edition players should have access to the game’s new holiday update following scheduled maintenance taking place later today. Find a trailer for the patch below.

Nintendo is continuing its promise of delivering regular Zelda: Breath of the Wild screenshots leading up to launch. Get a look at the newest image just shared on the series’ Facebook page above.
