GI Show – Wii U-logy And Mass Effect Game Club
Welcome back to The Game Informer Show! Today's episode is full of fun information and close-range nostalgia. We start out talking about some recent game releases and announcements like Mr. Shifty, The Sexy Brutale, Mario Sports Superstars, the new Nintendo Direct, and Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition. Afterwards, Jeff Cork, Brian Shea, Kyle Hilliard, Ben Reeves, and I pay our full respects to the Wii U by traveling back to its beginning at E3 2011 and explaining why we're endlessly fascinated by so many finer details of Nintendo's retired console. After some great community emails, we dive into the uplifting middle chapter of our GI Game Club for Mass Effect: Andromeda with Joe Juba, Ben Reeves, Javy Gwaltney, and Elise Favis. We hope you enjoy the show!

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
