Anybody who has played the Mass Effect series will tell you that you need to play the first two games before the third one. If you had the two previous adventures behind you, you could transfer the decisions made to the latest installment. This definitely makes for a more immersive experience, but isn’t at all necessary. Mass Effect 3: Special Edition recently launched on Wii U, and since the last two games weren’t even released on the platform, Nintendo fans will have no other choice than to start with this one.
Fortunately, the developers of the Special Edition didn’t leave it up to newcomers to figure out what the hell is going on. Upon starting a new game, you’ll have the option to view the Interactive Comic and make all the key decisions from the previous two games. It runs a bit long, but it’s crucial if you want to learn more about Commander Shepard’s past, along with the characters you’ll meet again in your current adventures.
In the end, Mass Effect 3: Special Edition is the best possible version of last year’s RPG, and has the best features as well. My favorite is definitely the GamePad-only feature, which lets you play the entire game only on the Wii U GamePad (duh). This game may cost you quite a bit, compared to the Mass Effect Trilogy, which runs for about the same price, but if you own a Wii U, it’s still worth the dough.

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons have both already been announced for release on the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console, but now we have gotten an official launch date. Available May 30th, the games will be up for download for a dollar less than the regular price for the first 3 weeks. From May 30th – June 20th, the games will sell for $4.99, and after three weeks the price will go up to $5.99. Sure, you’re only saving one dollar, but it’s still a good deal, making both games only $10 to buy together for a limited time.
Will you take advantage of this deal? -Greg Boe (admin)
