"Written on the DNA of many a gamer, especially those who are now married and with families of their own, is a bright red logo: Nintendo. Regardless of the Atari's place in the world at the time, it was the original Nintendo Entertainment System that truly made gaming a viable industry and home hobby. Fast forward 30 years, after countless Super Mario Bros. adventures, and Hyrule dungeons, and you arrive to the modern age of gaming."
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.
If anyone in the industry has risen to their peak, fallen quicker and harder, but still galvanizes millions of fans, it's Nintendo. They took a risk going family oriented in the beginning. It may still pay off when Spring and Summer roll out their big guns. Nintendo has to have something out of their sleeve to come out for the 2013 holidays. It's going to be a head to head match-up between Microny, or SonySoft. I can't wait to see the converging war for gaming market share. I'm leaning more towards XBox for the time being, but I'm not ruling Sony out. Nintendo will always be around even if their shareholders force them to push a cell phone to the market. Let's just all hope the death of console doesn't become realised.
I fear Nintendo's resiliance, Apple's invasion, and a down gaming industry might stifle the possibility of enough room for one of the other's chances. The stakes are high.
'If anyone in the industry has risen to their peak, fallen quicker and harder, but still galvanizes millions of fans, it's Nintendo.'
But they haven't fallen though, they shifted close to 2m units across all its gaming formats in November. At which point does that equate to a bad thing?
It wasn't the new controller that's for sure.
Wii U is my main home console and NSMBWU is a blast. I dare you to get bored of that game, the game is too good. The best 2D Mario game.
i hope Sony and Microsoft will have a controller with built-in touchscreen, too!
