The Wii U is facing a big challenge to stay relevant as interest in the next generation of consoles hots up. The original Wii overcame its hardware deficiencies through an innovative gaming style, but the Wii U is far less revolutionary. Can it survive? Or do we have the next Dreamcast on our hands?
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.
I don't think the WiiU will sink, but I don't think it will be half as successful as the Wii. Iwata himself even said "the WiiU won't sell as much as the Wii", which seems crazy to admit, but even Nintendo acknowledges it.
And the WiiU isn't Nintendo's flagship. The 3DS is. Nintendo's handheld line has always kept them afloat during the times their console market had diminished.
Please low specs ? modified E6760 with tons of edram ect dx11 i don't know where this low spec rubbish comes from wiiu gpgpu with 32MB/64MB edram is not low spec END OF,if its low spec then Beyonetta2 will look the same as Beyonetta1 just with Anti alaising ect ?? we all know it looks a billion times better.....take a look.

Compared to a pc, the Wii U, isn't a beast. But neither is the ps4.
So what's the big deal. The Wii U, though, has an awesome cpu/gpu for a console. Tons of ed ram provide great bandwidth/streaming for the cpu. The gpu is also highly customized. We really just haven't seen anything try to tak e advantage of the hardware from the ground up. Though snippets of Bayonetta 2, and X look amazing. If people don't take one look at X and think Wii U is sporting some great console hardware, then I think they need to clean the fog off of their fanboy goggles. Also, Wii U's hardware is more focused towards gaming since it doesn't have to perform cpu/ram heavy tasks such as video capture /streaming.
This site is full of fanboys that need to take eye tests,the wiiu games like Windwaker,Beyonetta2,X all look amazing.
Specs did not seem to "sink" PS2, when the console had allot less power than Xbox, Gamecube, Dreamcast. Games are what make a console great. At this point in time how much more realistic do you need the game to look to make the GAMEPLAY better? All of the games Next Gen can look really good, and that includes WiiU, at this point in time it is going to be about the games and the gameplay. Sure my PS4 is going to kick my Wii U's ass in terms of power, but just because the games will look better on my PS4 does not mean that I am not going to buy games for Wii U.
