Bitmob - The industry has commonly referred to Nintendo's upcoming Wii U as the first of the next-generation consoles; however, this moniker is up for much speculation in light of the current console market.
Up until this point, the market has been able to accommodate three home consoles. Much like the previous generation's PlayStation 2, GameCube, and Xbox, assuming that this trend will continue in light of Sony's, Nintendo's, and Microsoft's respective past success is not a stretch.
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.
They should remake Starfox to the switch 2. Very beautiful game during gamecube days.
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.
Jeez, ANOTHER one of these articles?
Yes it is. It's a console generation after the Wii which was released about five years ago.
Yes, the wii was 5 years ago. And you can't judge what generation a console is in by it's power. If that was the case, then the PS1 wouldn't be in the same gen as N64.
Yes. Its releasing after Wiihas more power tha PS3 or 360 ( probably 2-3 times). And it has new controls scheme, online interface and developer who haven't even bothered with Nintendo in ages. They sooner we all accept it, the sooner we can get to games.
If your so butthurt that WiiU is a few times more powerful than 7 year old console disagree. Just realize your disagreeing with the developing like EA, Epic, Crytek and Vigil and Level 5 who said so. Keep living in your fanboy fantasy...
By the time the Wii U will launch it will be six years since the Wii's launch. A console generation isn't defined by the power of a console, but rather the consoles release after the previous one.
So, the Wii U is the first next gen console.
ppl just love to get the fanboys all fired up lol
