IGN - We take a look at the system's first U.S. commercial. Watch for our analysis of the games, the marketing strategy, the fun cubes, and more.
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.
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.
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.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
A new list goes over eight of the the most useless amiibo, ranging from the Shadow Mewtwo card to the Qbby figure.
Love it. Wish they would have shown Pikmin 3 but I'm sure this is one of many.
I think this a smart albeit safe commercial. It's a commercial for families and casuals and I don't think that's a bad thing. The hardcores (who like Nintendo) know about the system and have either already preordered one or plan to get one next year. So the commercial doesn't need to cater to them. Nintendo needs to cater to the people who don't know about Wii U to create excitement, because a lot of them are the high spending Black Friday and Christmas shoppers.
