GotGame: The Wii U’s launch has been a strange one to say the least. After Nintendo announced their new console at E3, we assumed it would be the start of a media blitz to explain and hype the new machine. After E3, Nintendo went quiet, and we waited patiently for Nintendo to kick off the advertising campaign that would sell the public on their new machine. And then we waited patiently some more, and some more...
After being benched for 20 years, and returning only to be forsaken again despite being a splendid game, it's time Kid Icarus gets salvation.
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.
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.
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."
nintendo is doing what nintendo always does. theyll rely on fanatics to sell the wii u. the wii u has little games on the horizon for it and the system should cost less than half the asking price. nintendo is known for starving their fanbase of games compared to the likes of sony who constantly releases new games.
i would also like to apologize for my absence lately but i was doing a lot of running around due to the holiday season and such. even though i use my vita and mobile phone to send messages i couldnt get around to voice my opinion on certain matters on n4g. anyway, have a nice day all
Good to see you back around Akuma.
Like pretty much every single console launch ever, there is gonna be that dry spell period for a couple of months post launch. My friend that bought a PS3 at launch said all he pretty much had to play for a while was Resistance then pretty much nothing for months, swore he'd never buy another console at launch. All consoles take a while before they pick themselves up, I mean look at how far the PS3 has come. I'll most likely pick up a Wii U a little later this year although Rayman Legends may just make me pick it up sooner(I freaking loved Rayman Origins).
I say the Wii U and the Vita have a lot to prove this year and I believe Nintendo and Sony will do right by their systems.
I'm hoping Nintendo at least teases something at GDC this year.
The "U" is for "Underwhelming".
