"When Nintendo showed off its "TVii" app yesterday, one of the more perplexing features was a series of concentric dials controlling volume, source, and playback. It's entirely possible that the dials work well, even if we didn't get to try them. But more than anything, the mystery meat interface evokes the kind of future that's seen in movies and video games past and present. Looking over the rest of Nintendo's Wii U line, it's easy to see it as a similar negotiation between the current state of gaming and the new systems Nintendo hopes to add.", writes TheVerge.
INDIE Live Expo, Japan’s premiere online digital showcase series , will debut never-before-seen games & content updates across more than 100 titles on May 25th.
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.

Sure buddy... You're trying to tell me it has a deeper story than goat 🐐 simulator 4000?!?!?. I wanna give bg3 a shot but my brain is burnt out on long games
It can't capture the future with outdated technology. I was a nintendo gamer who got the Wii and was disappointed and told people years ago how Nintendo will release an amazing console next time with amazing technology but I should have counted out Nintendo because the GameCube was the same disappointment. No core gamers in their right mind would rather the Wii u over any of the next gen systems if they know about the history of the companies.
Wii has been stuck in the 90million range for years because its not selling like it useto because people realized a few things. It's outdated tech, it doesn't get the big name multiplatform games like hd consoles, it lacks a proper online service, and a few other things.
Most of the wood problems stems from the fact that it was way underpowered compared to hd consoles and Wii u will be the same once next gen consoles are here. How is this console suppose to last until 2018 with such weak hardware. Mobile phones now are basically mote powerful than a Wii u that is suppose yo release soon. Imagine the specs of mobile phones next year. Mobile phones and Wii u might be upporting multiplatform games soon. The most important things also are The games and Wii u lacks exclusive titles .
It can capture its already existing fanbase which is good enough.
I think people point to graphical prowess too much when speaking of "technology" Nintendo is on the verge of releasing the ultimate media HUB I'm the Wii U and if they can successfully capture a healthy install vase by 2014 there will be gamers that see the Wii U as an integral piece of there entertainment center and won't want to part with it. Not to mention when Sony and Microsoft release their new consoles the development costs will be very high for them where the Wii U will still be Very reasonable and still have a fresh take on HD gaming. I think the 3 will co exist but if Microsoft continues down their path now trying to capture the casual crowd they will create an identity crisis and that could hurt them.

The Wii U is actually getting a watered down port of Madden 13 (smh @ EA Sports) but all the rest of those games you listed will be at least as good as the PS3/360 versions.
WII U is the future, Nintendo will bring a Wii U Zelda game in 2013, and it'll be the biggest game ever
