GR writes: "The Wii U may have quickly sold out on its first day, but online auctions show that there's more to the formula than meets the eye."

I wonder what the MOST anyone paid for a Wii U was in this entire pre-release gray market....

lilbroRx4175d ago

To many people had the same idea. Serves them right.

JonnyBigBoss4175d ago

Serves you right! Go Nintendo?

I wonder if no one is buying as many of them or if Nintendo actually made a decent amount of supply? They are in stock pretty well around here.... I went to pick mine up @ Gamestop yesterday @ 11am and no one was around.. It seemed a little weird...

darthv724175d ago

and asked if they were doing amidnight launch for the wii-u. this particular location wasnt doing that. They had all of their preorders notified and were not getting any leftovers so no sense in creating a pandemonium.

Their midnight launch for halo 4 and COD BLOPS2...yeah that was crazy.

V0LT4175d ago

Cool. I'm kind of glad there may be a decent supply out there. I can't stand these resellers snatching them up keeping someone else who loves gaming from buying one without getting ripped off....

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?

Cacabunga4d 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

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.

Stevonidas4d ago

Devil's Third is HIGHLY underrated.

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

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.
