Game Informer - We here in the enthusiast press often find ourselves in an information bubble. We have known about the Wii U since E3 2011, but we have always been curious about how much the larger consuming public knows about Nintendo's next console.
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.
The console is balanced as a system with pros and cons, simple put
I'm not exactly surprised by these reactions. Nintendo hasn't advertised this system AT ALL and we're less than 2 months away from launch. The fact that people still think it's an add on for the Wii proves that.
I think that if they'd gone with something like Wii 2 or distanced themselves from the Wii name entirely or not have a console that looks so damn similar to the Wii we wouldn't have this problem. You can't just add a U to the name of your new platform and expect the public to know that this is a brand new system. At least with a name like Wii 2 people will know for sure that it is a brand new console. The name "Wii U" is confusing for the folks who aren't like me and keep up with video game news.
They also need to make it clear to the public that the system is NOT the controller. I hope Nintendo sees this and makes sure to make it absolutely clear to the public that this is a brand new system and that the controller is merely part of an entirely new console.
I think it's advantageous is the public 'don't' know about the Wiiu. All Nintendo need to do is show people playing games on it with the Wii controller and the average Joe will jump at it. Ignorance in this case is bliss. That's what I would do if I were Nintendo anyway.
No1 cares other than Ninti fans other than those ppl most sales Wii did was from moms & aunts & we all know they didn't get it to play games & also we all know that they dont intent to buy another Wii what they want to do they can do it with the first one.
The wii u has been around since E3 2011? I watched most of it and i must of missed it. I only found out in the last month or so. I think that answers the q: "does the public know about the wii u?"
