GameDynamo - Bad news for Nintendo - according to GamesIndustry International, DFC intelligence intends to significantly lower the sales forecast for the Wii U in its upcoming December 3 release
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.
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.
Good for them, too bad they will have to amend their report January 1st after the holiday sales are done. Do they not know what game releases tomorrow? Might be a good idea to hold off on any estimating before a game that is historically known to move units releases.
Gamecube-style games will equate to Gamecube-level sales. Nintendo needs to bring back the sort of games that made the Wii popular.
Because the first year say how well the console will keep selling, just look at the PS3 and 3DS both are selling well.
It never ceases to amaze me how fast negative news regarding Nintendo gets approved, while positive news idles for days.
If they don t have several yet to be announced games to reveal after the holidays (for 2014/ 1st half of 2015 release) then we will be lucky to hit 20 million- At some point very soon- Nintendo needs to act like they actually care about the future of the Wii U- So far they have seemed very ambivalent or even hesitant to support the Wii U- IMO most 3rd parties saw how little Nintenod was getting behind the Wii U shortly after launch and said if Nintendo are not going to support it then why should we?
If we had not had Ubisoft releasing games on the Wii U this year it would have been a far worse drought
