Over a year ago, the Nintendo Wii U was unleashed onto the Western video games market, however, following it's release, the console has plummeted into a state of absolute failure. Now, one year on, Nintendo Feed asks the question, are things getting any better for the Nintendo Wii U or are we still looking at what's set to be one of the worst video game failures of all time?
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.

Quite a bit so, if you include the near future of the first 4 months of 2014, if not the first half.
Yeah, it's still not selling like the Wii and PS2 were, but few if any could do that, so I don't expect it.
In the Wii U's case, it's going to be more of a marathon than a sprint.
It won't go down to the Gamecube's numbers.
The "wiiU" is getting better, as for sales wise so far no comparison to past Nintendo systems. But let's not take away from the fact that the software coming threw to the wiiU are phenomenal, I just don't think people are giving it a shot, shoot I haven't even gave them a try, the last game I got since release was wind waker and that a remake, I just think me personally and I know many others are just waiting for certain games we all know smash bros and mario kart have proven themselves already add a reliable game and promising experience. The wiiU will get better gaming wise as it is starting now , as for sales I think it will.be another GameCube, solid games but people just not picKing it up
I honestly feel that if they would of released now during this period, it would of out sold ps4 and x1, people would of saw what it was offering because wiiU biggest fault is it being wiiU and Nintendo not advertising what makes it different compared to wii. If they released it now it would of gotten shine.
Game wise? Yes, the only problem is that they ended the year pretty poorly with no other big game except 3D World. And as for the sales the console is still not selling despite a price drop and new releases on bundles and games. ;)
Well it has Mario now
