These 3 Games Will Put the Wii U in a Good Position This Year

TQ author writes: During a recent E3 Nintendo meeting/interview, Nintendo’s Reggie Fils-Aime, president of Nintendo of America mentioned that he isn’t worried about the PS4 or Xbox One, he has seen this same situation in the past with the Wii Vs. the Xbox 360 and PS3, and ultimately Nintendo came out on top. Reggie believes that 3 titles will put the Wii U in a great spot this holiday season.

Super Mario 3D looks cool, DK Country maybe a rental, Zelda HD remake looks nice, but Gamecube, bra.

BullyMangler4001d ago

Super Mario 3D underwhelmed the MASSES < cool huh

DK Country wiiU you rent it your souL will want to KEEP it not return it < fact

Zelda windWaker HD 1080p REMAKE for wiiU not just an HD port . that game looks so good that supposedly the sun in that game is rumored to mimic that of the real sun of planet earth introducing to gaming the brightness and Intensity effect like never before. is nuts as things seem to glow up with the sun in WindWaker 1080p HD Remake. Even the shades of trees in the game look inviting and freshly cool .. .

and so much more is nuts!

leahcim4001d ago (Edited 4001d ago )

talking a bout ZELDA WW HD.. yeah you´ve got a point there, I really loved the gamecube game I played 2 times, but I really dont have the need to play it over again just for a graphic leap.

these are my thoughs....

About Mario 3d: really really bad desicion from nintendo´s part, I need, and I think the 90% of nintendo fan base needs, a really new AAA Mario Game, I really was hoping for "MARIO UNIVERSE" or something like that, something that surpass the Awesomeness of Galaxy saga, this new Mario game looks so "New Super Mario Bross Wii HD" to me and thats a bad thing :(

mcstorm4001d ago

@bullymangLer I have to agree. I was all up for pre ordering a Xbox one after MS E3 but I decided to hold fire on that as Mario, Zelda, DK, Mario Kart, Super smash bros and X all got me excited for my Wiiu again and ill have pilmin in a few weeks to keep me going.

Abdou234001d ago

They won't make all that difference, Only people who will buy these games are Nintendo fans AKA people who ALREADY own the console and maybe 1 a million more, There isn't anything to gamers whor aren't already Nintendo fans.

MontyQ4001d ago

Mario dk Zelda same old for 25 years sweet when was nintendos last blockbuster IP ? two decades ago.....

Sincere01214001d ago

with that said, name a console with a better iP? there ain't one

MontyQ4001d ago (Edited 4001d ago )

any one lol look at naughty dog each gen they have a new block buster IP,,,,,crash bandicoot on ps1,jak series on ps2 and uncharted on ps3 and now rest of us....thing is companys can make new huge ip each gen if they put a lil effort in and not just cut and paste for 25 years

plus it takes Nintendo like 5-6 years to pump out one they top games like Mariokart a simple kart game yet other studios can make a huge game like skyrim in 4-5 years the same time frame as a tiny 2d side scroller, sure I like Nintendo a lot I own tons of their stuff but Nintendo of today is nothing like the huge world dominating new idea Nintendo of yesteryear. Even the wiiU which I own is just a rehash of the wii is like 99% of the way except HD and no wiggle waggle stick.

Name: Sale: Score:

UC3 / 5.9 / 92
Mario Galaxy / 10.84 / 97
Galaxy 2 / 7.04 / 97
SMB wii / 26.94 /87
Zelda TP / 6.79 / 96

Yah still waiting for you to name one better than these 25 year old games.

juaburg4001d ago

Im looking forward to all 3 of those games. I think those 3 will surely be able to shift consoles. Nintendo just needs to be more on the ball with their marketing. Maybe have a longer partnership with gamestop and other alike retailers in other countries to get the games in the hands of the consumers. Im supporting Nintendo by getting a Wii U.

gedden74001d ago

I'm now looking forward to Dk, still on debating Mario 3d....

Zelda LOOKS awesome and its a must buy because I never bought wind waker... But what about Pikmin 3 and W101 Those ARE MUST OWN TITLES in my book!

MisfitsInc4001d ago

i think i give up on Nintendo. their first HD console, and one of their main titles is a 2d sidescroller smh.

Great news it shows that Nintendo intends to continue developing ports of AAA games to its next gen platform

H912d ago

Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal

OtterX12d ago

That is some serious brain gymnastics you have going on there. 🤔

H912d ago

I didn't do any gymnastics I can assure you, honestly I don't know why you think that, not hating I seriously don't see why you think that

ZeekQuattro12d ago

Yeah I don't know where that came from. It's rare for Nintendo to flat out aquire studios. Guess they were trying to be edgy but why flex on this studio. 🤣

Kneetos11d ago

At least they are safer from layoffs with Nintendo then any other company

banger8812d ago

I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.

Relientk7712d ago

Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."

You can't make this crap up lol

Profchaos12d ago

Mortal Kombat 1 was never going to port well I'm sure they told wb it wasn't going to work but wb wants that sweet sweet 140 million install base

In the end wb approved the project cleared the milestones and allowed the product to release

SonOfOsiris12d ago

Yeah this guys ported MK11 which is great, Hogwarts Legacy which is great, and MK1 is now ok, play it every day

How Many More Victims, Like Garry's Mod, Will Nintendo's Hurtful Crusade Create?

Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."

RiseNShine29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.

gold_drake29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.

nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.

people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly

mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.

zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.

nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.

its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.

but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.

Inverno29d ago

Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
