"Well, looks like we'll definitely be playing New Super Mario Bros. U on these demo stations, at the very least. Also seems that there will Wiimote/Nunchuk setups to drive home the fact that they're compatible. Thanks to Tradint for the heads up!", writes GoNintendo.
As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.
And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.
They buy IPs not talent. That's why these buyouts never work and the IPs die. Right now it's too expensive to develop games - but I expect that to shift maybe as AI tools can make it easier. The best games have been indie games for awhile as big developers fuck their ips to death with "games as a service" -
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.
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.
It looks nice!...
I will wait until next E3 to buy the Wii U. I would like to see what they announce, so I can make a better decision. I am not interested in any of the launch games, but I have a hunch that the Wii U will have better support from third parties. Also, if a PS4 or Xbox 3 is announced at E3 next year, the Wii U will have to wait until a new Mario or a new Zelda comes out.
Nice!
totally going on wednesday to check it out :)
best buy is like 5 min from my house, gotta see it!
nice if both best buys and gamespot has it then i can go get my hands on the wiiu before launch..
