Supply bottleneck: Wii U in Japan in many places out of stock:

08.02.16 - U Wii is sold out at many retailers in Japan, as the Nariyuki game shop blog reports. Also wholesalers increasingly report that they have no Wii U more available.

The Wii U only at inflated prices on the marketplace is available at Amazon. The Japanese online shop Rakuten - is one of the ten largest Internet companies in the world - reports that the Wii U with him again until late February/March is available.

By Nintendo is no explanation why few to no Wii U in Japan apparently delivered at the moment. There is not an increased demand of trade. Therefore it is believed that Nintendo has strongly down the Wii U production or there are production problems in some parts.

Another dealer said that Nintendo prepared his production may already for the new NX console and the Wii U hardware therefore has a high priority in the production.

My god that new Street Fighter V opening cinematic is AMAZING. I'm sooooooo very bummed that there's no Xbox One version.

Onimusha revival? Yes please!

Back from a weekend in London for a friend's wedding.

Exhausted, but it was worth it.  Great wedding!

Hope you have all been well and enjoying yourself gaming and otherwise.

Also ... after last year's heartache ... GO GO BRONCOS!!!! YES!!!  At last!

Ahhh too bad about GameTrailers. I can't say I frequent it very much these days, but once upon a time I was there very often. Oh well, another victim to social media coverage.

I never once went to Game Trailers in their 13 year history. Even so, I wish their video archive was given to another site so it can be maintained for history.

A question for all you witnesses.  Do you play the game with a controller or M/K ?

While I haven't played "The Witness", my general rule of thumb is this:

"Is the game in first person, an adventure game, or a third person shooter? If so then you use a M/K."

"Is the game not any of the above? If so then use a controller."

Never disappoints.

As a primarily console gamer, I could not disagree more with you  

But thanks for providing the 2 cents

Wouldn't shock me to hear Starfox is delayed again. I think Nintendo reached a little too far with the controls on this one. No real disappointment from me though. Fun fact, I've never played a Starfox game for more than 5 minutes.

Yes, but Platinum haven't made a bad game, so this ought to be good.

If anyone thinks Madworld or Anarchy Reigns are bad games ... unfriend me now!  Now I tell thee!!
