Nintendo's response to the 2012 NPD report is in. Sales for the Wii U (December and total since launch), NSMBU, Wii, 3DS, DS, and other data is now available.
Pac-Pix launched in 2005 as a Nintendo DS exclusive, and deserves to make a comeback on modern touchscreen devices.
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.
The new Nintendo-focused emulator for the iPhone is now available with support for several classic systems.
Won't belong before Nintendo bangs on Apple's door to have the emu removed. Like I say you take down one six more take it's place. Problem is people are putting emu's on such stupid platforms. The good emus are the ones not on stupid platforms like a red target. The good emu's are word of mouth and keep a low profile.
Of course wii u generated more revenue than the wii. It did sell for a lot more $ so I assume that should be the case lol.
I'm more impressed with the Wii and NDS numbers (also New Super Mario Bros. U's attach rate - 65%).
The Wii U would probably be over the 1 million sold mark had Nintendo been able to anticipate demand for the Deluxe Set. Everywhere I see the system in stock its always the Basic model.
