Wii U and 3DS Eshops Closing Soon
March 27th, both the Eshops for the Wii U and 3DS will be closing. Currently, it is still possible to purchase games from both Eshops. However, you have to add funds through the Nintendo website. Adding funds directly on either Eshops is not possible.
I don’t know if there will be any sort of closing sale, but I picked up a few games on my 3DS. I purchased Dementium: Remastered and Creeping Terror.
Will you be making any purchases before the Eshops close?
Bendy and the Dark Revival Trailer
Bendy and the Ink Machine is a first-person survival horror game. Released in 2017 as chapters before receiving a full worldwide release in 2018.
Bendy and the Dark Revival, a sequel, was originally set for release in 2019. I believe at one point it was said it would release sometime in 2020 as well. But the game continued to be delayed.
It was announced there would be a trailer for the game today.
The trailer was uploaded to Youtube only about 30 minutes ago. The game looks great. I am excited about it.
It will release on Steam on November 15th. It will release for Playstation and XBox at a later point.
Silent Hill Announcement on Wednesday
The official Silent Hill page on Facebook updated both the profile and cover photos as well as stating updates for the Silent Hill series will be revealed Wednesday at 2PM.
Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse Arrives in 2023
Originally released in 2008 as a Wii exclusive only in Japan, Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar became the best-selling entry in the series. It will release in early 2023 for Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox series X/S, and PC.
Play Asia is already taking pre-orders for physical copies on the Switch, PS4, and PS5.
Paper Cut Mansion
Play as Toby, a police detective, who awakens on a road leading to a mysterious mansion. He must use his skills to unravel the story of this strange place.
Roguelike horror Paper Cut Mansion arrives on Steam, Switch, and other consoles sometime this year.
The Wolf Among Us 2
If you’ve never played the first game it is based on a comic book series. It is about fairy tale characters living in our modern world. You control Bigby Wolf, who is the sheriff of Fabletown, as he investigates mysterious murders.
I beat the first game only a few months ago, and it was very good. Definitely worth a play.
The sequel releases next year, and it is set six months after the events of the first game.
BioShock Movie
Over a decade ago, Take-Two Interactive announced a deal with Universal Studios to produce a BioShock movie. It was expected in 2010, then put on hold over budget concerns. Then faced difficulties due to MPAA rating. The creator eventually left the project because he felt the film wouldn’t work with compromises that would have to be made.
A few days ago it was announced Netflix has partnered with Take-Two Interactive to create a BioShock movie. The deal has been in the works for nearly a year. There is no writer or filmmaker yet. Vertigo Entertainment and Take-Two will be producers.
As of right now, there isn’t a release date. The film is being produced as the start of a potential cinematic universe.
The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me
The Dark Pictures Anthology is a series of horror games by developer Supermassive Games, who also developed Until Dawn, which I love.
The Dark Pictures Anthology began with Man Of Medan in 2019, followed by Little Hope in 2020, and now House of Ashes which was released today. The next installment in the series will be The Devil in Me and will be the season finale. No release date yet, but considering there’s been one new game a year, I would assume this will release sometime in 2022.
From the trailer, the game looks like it will be pretty cool. I can’t wait until there are more details and release date.
Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water Coming to Nintendo Switch
The fifth main entry in the Fatal Frame series was released in 2014 on the Wii U. It was only released digitally in the United States.
Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water will emerge this year on the Nintendo Switch.
I was actually going to buy this on my Wii U pretty soon, but I’m going to wait to get the Switch version. Hopefully, it will be released physically. I am so excited for this. And here’s to hoping this means new games will be released in the series as well.
