'The Windwaker HD' sales prove Nintendo is stuck between a rock and a hard place
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.
here comes the denial
I don't own a wii u yet but i think your over looking something very inportant,indie games. The Wiiu has more indie games comeing to it then the ps4 does and they make a big difference in the long run even if you hate them. I know this because i follow indie games like it's a bible on kickstarter. You talk to small indie companys and the'll tell you the same.
Go to VGchartz and look at the top ten games sold for last week.
Windwaker HD sales only proves that software sells hardware. Sure lets just ignore how well the Wii-u did this week and instead look at how Windwaker is not giving out GTA V numbers.
Nintendo just can't win, there's always something negative.
I don't understand how Wind Waker increasing Wii u sales by 685% indicates Nintendo is between a rock and a hard place. Sales are sales regardless of where they come from. Although Wonderful 101 has not sold that well, this is not unusual for new IPs, particularly on a small install base. Over its lifetime it may in fact sell well as numbers of consoles pick up.
