Lucas M. Thomas: ''The Wii U’s eShop presented a strong lineup of five original offerings alongside the system’s launch last year, and in 2013 North American fans have already seen the arrival of Ron Gilbert and Double Fine’s adventure The Cave and Neko Entertainment’s Puddle - the most interesting physics-based, fluid-flowing puzzler outside of Nintendo’s own Fluidity games. In Europe, things have been even better, as Zen Pinball 2 just went live last week.
But those games are just the beginning. 2013 is shaping up to be the strongest, most interesting year for downloadable titles on a Nintendo console since the old Wii Shop Channel first went online back in 2006. Today we’re discussing 10 Wii U downloads that should already be on your wishlist for the year ahead. Let’s dive in!''
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.
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.
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.
I'd imagine more games.
