Now Loading for the week of 12/14/2015

Here we are, just a week before Christmas, and the flow of new releases is slowing to a literal crawl. Once again this week we are seeing an absence of full, fledged retail titles making their way to stores. It is almost dead quiet in the industry and it may be like this for another month of so. The big news this week is that the Wii U is FINALLY getting Minecraft. This is a port that is long overdue; the system’s unique controller makes it the perfect console for the game. Unfortunately, even though the game is finally making its way to the console, the new version won’t take advantage of the touchscreen which will prove to be a giant missed opportunity in my opinion.
