It seems everyone is hating Nintendo at the moment whether it be the newly released 2DS or Wii U failings. However, contrary to popular belief, Nintendo are doing just fine.
After being benched for 20 years, and returning only to be forsaken again despite being a splendid game, it's time Kid Icarus gets salvation.
Pac-Pix launched in 2005 as a Nintendo DS exclusive, and deserves to make a comeback on modern touchscreen devices.
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.
Well said, u can tell that the Wii u is a good console by the amount of mainly playstation fans that troll every single Nintendo article. If the Wii u is so crap then why do they care and spend so much time trolling, do they really think anyone cares what they say or that its gonna have any effect on the Wii u being a success? The word delusional comes to mind.
I'm a fan of all consoles but my primary console will be the Wii u as none of the other consoles can deliver the same quality gameplay that Nintendo does. Yes other consoles may look more "pretty" when it comes to graphics but I prefer gameplay over somethin that just looks pretty.
Nintendo are and will be fine.
The Wii U though is not fine at all.
I can get a 500GB PS3 with GTA5 and The Last Of Us for the same price as a Wii U. I want to see a price drop and an awesome looking Zelda, Metroid game and a new IP before I consider buying a Wii U.
I do agree that Nintendo is fine and I hope they always are since I like Nintendo franchises(their IPs are ones I really enjoy).
That being said,I don't think they will come back out of the Wii U gutter just yet(not till next year I think),and it's not a slow start by any means,the console is out for almost a year now & it's still not getting much steam,much like the PS3 situation where it was almost the same thing for their first year so I don't really know.
The PS3 came out successful the next year & I hope the Wii U does that too.
Wish them all the best at least.
The Wii U is facing a fairly unique struggle. Not to take away from the Wii's success, but a lot of the "non gamer" consumers who bought into that console appear to have done so as if gaming were a fad. They came, they had their fun, and they've moved on. Others have been confused by the marketing of the Wii U, and don't know that the next version of the console is available. Then you've got the generation shift, where the Wii U is coming in only somewhat cheaper, but without the "new and shiny" pizzazz of next gen hardware. Overall, Nintendo will be fine, but the Wii U, while a nice piece of hardware, is definitely facing a dark future.
Here's hoping it becomes something to remember fondly.
Funny it is right under the article tha the Wii U sold 350 units in Poland in 9 months.
I have a Wii U so I don't hate Nintendo, but it will be hard for them to turn the Wii U around. The Wii was so successful because they got the casual people onboard. Right now they fail on doing that. Getting the core gamer will be hard, while Wii had good games from Nintendo there wasn't much else and it's the samewith the Wii U.
