IGN - To remain at the center of gaming's future. Nintendo needs its new machine to be a big hit.
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.
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.
"Sony and Microsoft do innovate, they contribute new ideas. But they do so at a slower pace and without the sharp daring of Nintendo. They are the trundling tank corps in gaming’s victories over other forms of entertainment, but Nintendo is the screaming dive-bomber."
I stopped reading the article right there. It just shows you how big of a nintendo fanboy the author is.
Gotta love the Nintendo brown nosing article. Wii U has to succeed because if it doesn't, Nintendo loses money and mindshare. End of story without the fanboy slant.
"It is time for gaming to go back to the core and appease the people who have been with gaming for years if not decades"
Gaming already caters to the core gamer, i've been playing games since Bubble Bobble had queues forming in the arcades and i'm more than happy with what is available to me as someone who doesn't play gimmicky games like rockband, just dance etc.
Gaming just has a far wider audience to cater to these days. You shouldn't hate on the casual market as the rest of us 'core' gamers have more than enough to keep us occupied. I've got like 80-90 PS3 games, there are simply not enough minutes/hours/days/weeks/month s in a year to get through em all. :)
