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.
