Nintendo launched the Wii U Virtual Console a couple of weeks back with the undeniably excellent Super Mario World. Nintendo have now confirmed that they will be furthering the service's Mario offerings with the release of Super Mario Bros. 2 in North America.
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.
“There are many iconic platformers yet Kid Chameleon is rarely discussed so allow me to shine the spotlight on this retro treasure.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
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."
i hope they bring more than this
Is this the U.S. Super Mario Bros. 2, or the "lost levels" Japanese version?
My favorite 2D Mario game of all time. Bring it on! :D
VC is the only excitement as of now for the Wii U for me. Earthbound was the most exciting news in the last Nintendo Direct. There was other good news but 3DS isnt the Wii U. I think Nintendo should just let you use 3DS games on Wii U. Why not? ^^
