Stephen Heller: I challenge you to find a better launch line-up than what Nintendo has conjured for their first foray into the HD world.
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.
If it's such a great launch, then why are people so iffy on it? Why are people feeling leery about the just-now-revealed limitations on the hardware? Why are people feeling baited-and-switched on a lot of the WiiU's promised features that won't be available until a later time? Why are people downloading a 5 gig patch already? Why are people having to cope with ridiculously long load times in the WiiU's software? Why are people have wi-fi connection issues? Why are "definitive" versions of multiplats like Mass Effect 3 not going to include certain DLCs on WiiU that will be available on other platforms?
I remember the Wii's launch. Everyone was excited. EVERYone. Even the so-called "hardcore" gamers were excited, if only to see what the heck Nintendo was attempting to do. With the WiiU, there's no excitement. There's no passion.
its just a bunch of haters trying to be negative so the wiiu dont win the next generation...but it will happen...a firmware is not a ring of death and that system still came in second place last generation , so the wiiu will still win next generation and the games on the system are a plus titles and will keep coming
Internet for some reason went to flame mode and blew small things out of proportion. Especially here on N4G. Lot of random hate blowing about.
Probably because everyone who's enjoying their new console is playing it right now...
I own a Wii U and love it, and thats all that matters.
I don't think most of the complaints have anything to do with the game lineup
