Kotaku- For sports gaming, the Wii U wasn't looking much better than its predecessor even a month after release, and there are no signs the console is going to be a full partner anytime soon. The signals sent by sports' dominant publisher indicate it just has no interest in building for the console.
It's not just that the Wii U was left off the official announcement of Madden NFL 25. The bigger signal is that Tiger Woods PGA Tour will not have a presence on the platform when its next edition releases at the end of March.
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."
A new list goes over eight of the the most useless amiibo, ranging from the Shadow Mewtwo card to the Qbby figure.
Three months after it launched, the wii u is irrelivant to gaming should actually be the headline going by the sales and non-interests by gamers who arent nintendo fanboys.
every week i read two or so reports about game development studios dropping support or cancelling games for wii u. instead of talking about making games for wii u dev studios are talking about cancelling games or avoiding the wii u is a sign that the system is done for. wii fanboys can deny and deny all they want but the abysmal sales and lack of games are telling. its all nintendos fault along with the sheep nintendo fanboys that accepted lackluster systems and games where anyone who isnt a nintendo fanboy doesnt show interest.
No GOLF!?!?
What am I ever going to play on my WiiU!? The only reason I want a WiiU is to play Golf- Same with Wii---

Boo Nintendo...
...I think?
Wii U will flop hard, i said it from day 1.
They might make a few bucks, but the console is an absolute aftertought to core gamers, and no i dont mean Kinect buyers...
EA are the only ones that's trying down Nintendo because they said no to origins so screw them for messing up a cash revenue stream. It's business not personal.
I think what people fail to remember is that the system came out after all major releases so the majority already have it.
Nintendo can sell a machine with just their games on it and they will do fine.
Nice Wii U troll article Kotaku.
