Gamasutra, Matt Matthews- "I wrote on Monday that the NPD Group's retail sales estimates for the U.S. video game market would reveal the kind of enthusiasm that consumers had for Nintendo's hardware in the post-holiday period. I surely didn't foresee figures in the 50,000-59,000 range, but that's what our internal estimates showed. CNet's sources put that number at 57,000, so we'll just go with that.
Those aren't just terrible figures for the Wii U; they're terrible for any system in recent memory."
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.
Ouch!
I wouldn't be surprised if they miss their 4 million goal at this rate. I don't think that MH in March will give them the boost they're hoping for. Those "core" Nintendo fans were the ones who bought the system at Launch.
Nintendo sucks and people won't fall for another wiigate. They sell old hardware at premium price.
My good friends, I love Nintendo, but this isn't it.
The WiiU will not be a Wii type of succes and i knew it right away when i saw the controler.
If they released a Wii2 with seriously upgraded hardware and Wiimote sales would have been much better, shit i would have got one.
Nintendo thought the casuals would eat Wii-U up like they did with the original Wii
