End Credits: A Look Back on This Week's Best Articles About Mass Effect, Nier, Zelda, and More

End Credits wraps up the week by pointing you to the coolest stuff we wrote across the past five days. This week: Disney Afternoon Collection is coming (but not to Switch), Zelda's oozing with cool stuff, and Mass Effect Andromeda looks ... ehh.

This article first appeared on USgamer, a partner publication of VG247. Some content, such as this article, has been migrated to VG247 for posterity after USgamer's closure - but it has not been edited or further vetted by the VG247 team.

Hello friends of USgamer, and welcome to End Credits! This weekly wrap-up of all the cool stuff we published on the site across the past week is meant to bookend our Starting Screen article.

First and foremost: You made it through another week. Congratulations!

We'll be doing End Credits in lieu of the Community Question for now. The Community Question will be back sometime; it just needs a good nap to recharge its batteries (shhh).

This is a good week to kick off End Credits, I think. We saw a lot of hype (and plenty of worry) about Mass Effect Andromeda, we talked a lot about Persona 5 and Shin Megami Tensei, we learned about the Disney Afternoon Collection, the new 3D Sonic game got a new trailer and a name-oh, and there's still plenty of lingering excitement over the Nintendo Switch and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Overall, the week was a great success. Let's review!

Starting Screen: What Do You Do When Too Many Great Games are Coming Out at Once?

Speaking of death, Mike also went hands-on with Dead Cells, a roguelike game that literally wants you dead.

Nidhogg 2 Is More Than Just "A Better Version of Nidhogg"

Voez Signals the Switch's Rhythm Game Potential
Rhythm-game enthusiast Caty looks at Voez and evaluates the Switch's potential for mobile rhythm games. The conclusion? Well, without spoiling anything, we'll just say we're way past ready for a new Elite Beat Agents game, Nintendo. Another Rhythm Heaven game will suffice too, of course.

You Don't Have a Chance with Prince Sidon, so Smooch These Zelda: Breath of the Wild Characters Instead
Everyone wants to jump Prince Sidon's fish-bones, but there are so many other great characters in Breath of the Wild who aren't getting the love they deserve. Sadface.

Like it? Hate it? Our ears are open and turned towards you. Please bless us with your comments and suggestions.

Watch on YouTube

Now, have some actual game ending music to cap off your week with.

Chrono Trigger's To Faraway Times still gets my vote for best SNES game music ending, but Super Mario RPG's Happy Parade is a close second. Very close, especially when coupled with Goodbye, Geno.

But then there's Final Fantasy VI's ending, and--heck, I don't know. They're all great. There.
