Nintendo Gal visits a Wii U kiosk at a local Best Buy, to look at accessories and demos, and makes an unsettling discovery.
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.
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.
From the article: "Whether this is indicative of the actual boot times of the Wii U remains to be seen, but I seriously doubt it. Probably just a marketing SNAFU by Nintendo."
^ Then why write a big post about it with the headline that you chose?
Ah yes, because you're a stereotypical game journalist making a flamey headline for hits. I get it now. ;)
We'll see how thing goes once it gets closer to release. That's the only way to tell with these things.
Too slow.
So what's the big deal? You just find something else to do, while you wait for it to boot up. I can do a lot of things in 2 minutes....just ask my wife.
Yea, I admit that's pretty damn bad.
No video? I'd like to see this boot for myself.
