The Gaming Outsider Podcast – Episode 133: Wii U Post-Mortem
This week on The Gaming Outsider Podcast, we decided to have a little post-mortem for the Wii U before the Nintendo Switch officially releases next week. We invited back Shannon Moore to discuss our feelings on the Wii U in general and also explore what the console needed to do for us specifically in order to be more successful. Also, the crew covers the latest gaming news including the Switch UI being leaked by a thief, the new account setup for the Nintendo eShop, and Crash Bandicoot: N’Sane Trilogy’s official release date. Games we discuss this week are Shift Happens, Mortal Kombat XL, Ratchet & Clank (2016), Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare and more.
