Wii U not gonna end anytime soon.

3-4-53938d ago

Eventually the Wii U is going to price drop and be cheap enough where it's a " I can't pass this up " kind of deal.

Wii U for $200-250 is going to look amazing to a lot of people within 12-24 months.

By then it will have a ton of games. It's a slow and steady race for Nintendo this year. They have the 3DS to offset that balance though.

Dunpeal3939d ago

great for ppl in the market for a wii U. I'll pass though

THE INSTALL BASE PES2014 WILL FLOW IN FROM KONAMI FOX ENGINE (KOJIMA)

SolarisLTP3939d ago

Maybe I should of waited to get mine if it's now £100 cheaper. But still really happy with my purchace it's a really good machine, just lacking in 1st and 3rd party games

mcstorm3939d ago

I agree I really like the console. I don't think it is lacking 3rd party games I have a bunch of them but they are on the 360 and ps3 to. They are lacking 1st party games at the moment but come the end of this month its the start of Nintendo 1st party games and there are plenty I want. Great price now though but im happy with paying release price to. Looking forward to the Xbox one next too.

MajorLazer3939d ago

£149 for a paperweight seems very expensive

NihonjinChick3939d ago

This is nothing. I hear there is a new cable box that is hitting the market for $500.

MajorLazer3939d ago

I don't care for TV/Gimmicks so I will be avoiding said cable box too :) PS4 all the way for next gen

Wii U games that still haven't been ported to Switch

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.

Z5014d ago

How would XCX work without dual screens functionality?

Cacabunga4d ago

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

Profchaos4d ago

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.

Stevonidas3d ago

Devil's Third is HIGHLY underrated.

repsahj3d ago

They should remake Starfox to the switch 2. Very beautiful game during gamecube days.

Chocoburger3d ago

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.

And people say it's all fake because Sony haven't said anything 😂 conveniently forget the PS4 Pro was only announced 2 months before release.

BeHunted8d ago

It's fake. There's no factual evidence other than his own made up specs.

Hereandthere8d ago

What were the specks Sony was afraid of showing?

Shikoku8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

Digital foundry put a video out saying what he leaked was exactly what they also knew about the PS5 PRO. So no it's not just stuff he made up

Babadook78d ago (Edited 8d ago )

If it’s fake what copyright does MLID infringe upon?

😂

andy858d ago

Aye because they'd go to the effort of copyright claiming it if it didn't exist 🙃😂 you'd have to be a special kind to be thinking its not a thing by now

Cacabunga8d ago

They need to reveal it with uncharted killzone or a heavy hitter like this

Ironmike8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

U mean the specs that we'll established digital foundry which said these are the actual specs published a video on 2 weeks ago I mean they are only one of most trusted sites for tech information but they just made up a video for the sake of it

Christopher7d ago

I would love for it all to be fake, but lots of people are saying they've seen/heard the same thing. But, man, we 100% don't need mid-gen upgrades when we're failing hard to optimize current hardware.

Seraphim7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

if I recall Sony lowered sales expectations for PS5 earlier this year. if that is the case we won't hear anything about a Pro until next year or shortly before/when it's dropping. After all, if the Pro was dropping this year/fiscal year they wouldn't have lowered expectations.

As for squashing rumors. Yeah, shit like this prevents potential buyers from adopting now, just like slim rumors in the past. It only makes sense to keep things under wraps from a business perspective. Despite living in a technological age of unfettered access to information we don't need to know whats going on behind closed doors be that at Sony, Nintendo, MS, or amongst any development studios. When the steak is done we shall feast.

JackBNimble7d ago

By the time games are actually made to take advantage of the pro spec's the ps6 will be released or close to it.

jznrpg8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

Just announce it already! I want to preorder one asap. But in reality they don’t want to lessen PS5 sales until Pro is ready to launch so I understand the business part of it. September is probably when they announce it with an early November launch like the PS4 Pro

Ironmike8d ago

Pro won't lessen sales sames ps4 pro never and the ps4 pro was more relevant at the time cos move to 4k this not needed

RaidenBlack8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

Yea, my brother got his PS4 (coz of a good deal) after the PS4 Pro's release.

darthv727d ago

^^same here. I got a base 4 for only $100 off a guy who bought the Pro. then a few months later I found a guy on craigslist selling a pro for $100 because it was left behind by his former roommate who moved out. That was the beginning of my obsession to buy up the different variants of the PS4 that were released.

As of now I am really only missing the 500m one and the gold slim but otherwise I have pretty much all the other retail ones. https://consolevariations.c...

crazyCoconuts7d ago

Anyone with 4K that appreciates 60fps is gonna disagree about it not being needed.
DLSS is a god send for Nvidia, and there's been nothing like it for AMD...yet ...

DeadlyFire7d ago

They will announce it around E3 timeframe about May-June whenever they do a showcase for the year.

neutralgamer19928d ago

Just announce it this thing will sell well

Ironmike8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

I don't think it will pll still haven't seen the potential of ps5 yet

Cacabunga7d ago

agreed, but it might sell if they announce some 1st party games to lead the way. if people see the difference with the base version they can move on. for my sake I am still gaming mainly on PS4 (still not finished with RDR2 due to lack of gaming time). I have a huge backlog on PS5 I am hoping to get into.

mark3214uk8d ago

why? game makers havnt even come close to maxing out current spec yet, were getting al lthese new TFlops and game maker are making crappy remakes not worthy of the ps3

Minute Man 7217d ago

The guts of the 5 and X are 5 years old

fr0sty7d ago

People keep saying that, yet we still have games running at near HD resolutions, 30fps, and ray tracing features turned off.

PRIMORDUS8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

I would take that video and upload a torrent of it, fuck that copyright bullshit. If your going to do something that has a chance of being taken down, make a torrent first share it. Then Sony or any other company is helpless and you can laugh in their faces, taunting them to try to take it down 🤣

LoveSpuds8d ago

With kind of analysis and advice, you could be a lawyer for Trump!🤣

tronyx128d ago

As much as the PS4 Pro didn't represent a major % in the playerbase, announcing a 'better' model will hinder sales from the 'base' model. They are right, business-wise.
