10 Things About the Wii U That We’re Loving Or Hating

Kotaku - We're playing the Wii U here at Kotaku. We've got this new Nintendo console. And as we play, we're scribbling down a lot of thoughts, big and small, pro and con.

We thought we'd just start keeping a running list of them. That's what you'll get here, with links to our larger impressions pieces. Check back later. We'll have more (and will mark any updates clearly for repeat readers).

Nice to hear about the 8 foot cords! Seriously, what is up with the short cords these companies are shipping out? Good Nintendo reversed the trend. Also, he said the Zelda game in Nintendo Land is tougher in solo. :)

I'm looking forward to more additions to this list and I'm glad there are more Loves than Hates.

The hates aren't really hates...for a game to tell you to take a break...go take one...lol.

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.

How would XCX work without dual screens functionality?

Cacabunga1d 22h 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

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.

Stevonidas1d 21h ago

Devil's Third is HIGHLY underrated.

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

Chocoburger1d 16h 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.
