XMNR: Nintendo revealed how much money it was losing on each Wii U console sold with the release Wednesday of its 2012 third quarter financial report.
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.
smh that sucks.. so much invested for nothing.. The whole playing on screen tech was probably expensive.. Simple maps, inventory, & menu navigation wouldve been fine..
So getting one game for it really does effectively make it profitable it seems. A Wii U plus, say, NSMBU would effectively make this thing profitable, assuming the math is factually correct.
Not as much as I thought though.
nintendo are posting profits from both wiiu and 3ds...so they are not spending 10 years in a console generation trying to get back into the plus side of things
Didn't MS and Sony both lose money on the hardware too? Comparable to this? Thought these guys made money on the software/online.
