With the Wii U predicted to be available on the market by year's end, it's no longer a question of "if" or "when", but "how". How will the Big N's next-gen effort fare with consumers, and what are we honestly expecting from it? In this week's roundtable, BNBGAMING's staff aims to find out.
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.
I consider the wii u a failure already due to the fact that it was announced over a year ago and there is little info on the device. It's almost like a lot of games that lacks info because it sucks so the devs barely releases any info.
Where are the games? where are the previews for wii us launch title? Why is it hard to release specs about a system that was announced over a year ago?
To each his own, I'm waiting for the ps4 and I know that it'll be powerful with cutting edge technology judging by Sonys track record.
Predicting what will happen seems very good for the Wii U
3rd party game
Nintendo games in HD
Open online for devs
Focusing on downloadible stuff
Innovative controller
I can't see what can go wrong
The Wii U is the epitome of failure for Nintendo.
There's quite a number of reasons why failure is in the horizon of Nintendo, but here is one major point: the console incorporates a tablet like controller.
A gaming console and tablet were never to intersect or even be beside each other, but now Nintendo will be the first in history to do so and they do not understand the consequences for a move like this. The countdown to the destruction of console gaming has begun.
Maybe the WiiU will fail because of Nintendo's consistant slap in the face to the Hardcore audience that aren't blind Nintendo loyalists... idk... just maybe
Guys,
I think the biggest problem Nintendo is going to have with the wii U is not having enough Devs to make core games to keep up with all of our demands.
Though Microsoft and Sony is well equipped with lots of Devs to support their next Gen gaming console.
This is Sony's list of Devs... As you can here Sony is constantly buying out game studios every few years.

Nintendo on the other hand, has not purchased any Game studio other than Retro.
