Oh wow. An anonymous developer saying something positive about the Wii U's specs? And look at that! Next to no buzz! That's just typical.

Seriously guys, if you're going to respond to the bad news, at least acknowledge the good stuff that comes with it.

Emilio_Estevez4304d ago

If they can't name a source then I don't believe it, regardless of good or bad perception.

PopRocks3594304d ago

So you'll believe it when an anonymous developer says the Wii U is underpowered compared to its competition, but when another anonymous developer says exactly the opposite, it's invalid?

What source did the other anonymous quotes have? They're anonymous; they don't have a source listed. We know nothing about these developers, their resume or anything else about hem other than that they formulated some sort of opinion about the Wii U.

Sense, why you no make it?

As long as you stick to to your guns on that, then I understand you. Seen many a guy turn around when the situation 'fits' him.

Emilio_Estevez4304d ago

@poprocks - did u read my comment? No source, no validity imo - Don't care if they say it's the greatest thing ever or the worst.

Very good point. Positive news = no reaction. Negative = oh my god, Nintendo is doomed! People like negativity.

GribbleGrunger4304d ago

correction: people like confrontation

Morrigan-Aensland4304d ago (Edited 4304d ago )

People realize what the Wii u is just like they realized what the Wii is.

The Wii doesn't have 1:1 motion controls like Nintendo said and it lacked technologically advanced core games. Casual gamers jumped on the hype train but they didn't buy a lot of the software. It's the highest sold console this gen but its played less than people playing ps2 today. People see the Wii for what it is today so they know the gimmick controller with the games aren't anything special. A lot if people will not go out to get the Wii u because of the lesson they learned by buying a Wii.

In today's world where people are useto sleek ipads and smart tablets and such will see the Wii u pad as being a big fisher price toy.

Gamers and anyone who knows about gaming knows that most developers aren't making anything for Wii u and most wouldn't want their highly anticipated titles on the Wii u.

I can't wait till next gen consoles are announced with a few games shown. I don't understand people not thinking of the practicality of using a separate device to look on during playing a game on a tv. A lot of times when I play video games I don't even want to blink my eyes much less to look down on a controller to press hotkeys on a screen. To each his own but I can't be bothered with gimmicks and old tech mentality of Nintendo. I'm glad for the fans though.

@GribbleGrunger - confrontation comes from negativity.

shutUpAndTakeMyMoney4304d ago (Edited 4304d ago )

I never understood why the mind usually is in favor for bad news.. This is why the news is so popular. If they only showed good things ratings would decrease.

I think could be true.. It uses basic pc parts to devs love that..

"Apparently the console is a “dream” to develop for because the system architecture is so “simple” and “easy”, allowing developers to get games “up and running” incredibly fast."

ish just got real... good!

Fishy Fingers4304d ago

Can't see them using any 'wacky' hardware like Sony, or any benchmark setting top end stuff so I'm not surprised its an enjoyable system to work on.

Probably like that few year old PC, but with a shiny new controller.

KingItachi4304d ago

These anonymous devs need to put a name behind these comments.

thetrugamer4304d ago

Risky business, trust me, I've been there. (Not as a dev).

Wii U games that still haven't been ported to Switch

The Nintendo Switch is potentially nearing its lifespan, and several Wii U games haven't found their way over as ports yet.

I think it's better to leave games like AC: Amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash forgotten on the Wii U. Best case, they are mediocre games; worse case, they are very bad. It was a dark time for the Wii U, and the first only exists to sell Amiibo cards, whereas the second was put together in a couple of months with a shoestring budget, and it shows.

The rest of the list does have some really cool games, though. I would love to see a remake of Star Fox Zero with decent controls, and Xenoblade X doesn't require that much modification to work.

How would XCX work without dual screens functionality?

Cacabunga3d ago

Same as Paper Mario color splash. One of the best wiiu games and getting even better with dual screen. Same reason why i prefer Splatoon 1

Profchaos3d ago

This article leaves out Nintendo's most controversial game to date devils Third.
I personally found the cover system really fun in that one compared to at the time most fps games completely lacking one.

Stevonidas3d ago

Devil's Third is HIGHLY underrated.

repsahj3d ago

They should remake Starfox to the switch 2. Very beautiful game during gamecube days.

Chocoburger2d ago

Kirby is always ignored or forgotten by people, so good to see it mentioned here.
Play Kirby Canvas Curse on DS, and then play Rainbow Curse on Wii U, they're really fun and unique 'platformers' without any actual jumping.
