Does it include Wii games? That sounds difficult to pull off

Not sure. Maybe you'll need to use the Wii remote. Or they will have updated versions of the games to suit the new controllers.

More Mass Effect Andromeda trailers! :D

Don't know much yet about Sarah/Scott Ryder's companions, but it's nice to have new asari, krogan, and turian squadmates.
Just a hunch, but I think I'm really going to like Vetra (the new turian squadmate). :P

Who else thinks March 21 can't come soon enough!? :D

It's coming out in 2 months?! I haven't been this excited since I got accepted into university.
(And this game may very well make me fail university ;) )

I didn't watch the second trailer, it seems too spoilery.

I assume this stuff is on Steam? I like the idea of no disks/packaging etc.
Personally, I'd wait until they have a sale... and until you're done with classes for the semester. ;)

Actually, as it stands, it will not be available on Steam. But, it might stay in consoles for a bit then open up on Steam. I know a few games that have done that.

Guess you'll have to wait, miniboes.

What console?

I'd recommend waiting for a PC version. Worst case, if they never sell one, you can find a crack or something and then buy the game disk to collect dust to give you the right to download/play the crack.

Oh wait

There will be a PC version, just not on Steam. You need Microsoft Windows to run it if you want to play on PC.

It will be on Origin, which is like steam but only for EA (one of the largest video game companies) games. I'm hoping for a summer sale.

That sounds like a good alternative.
It's nice that you can play almost anything on PC now.

Red: There are windows emulators for gaming on Linux. You'd need a pretty 'beefy' system, though.
