5 Games Nintendo Needs to Resurrect for Wii U

WC writes: Pikmin 3 was finally announced on stage after years of teasing, giving fans of the series the long awaited sequel they’d been asking for. So with Nintendo’s E3 press conference a distant memory and Wii U fast approaching what other franchises could benefit from a new lease of life on Nintendo’s newest system.

There are plenty of awesome properties that in my opinion, should they be released on the new platform, would make Nintendo a whole heap of cash. So, let’s get right into what those properties are shall we?

It's going to end up being a long list of must-haves for this system. Nintendo is going to bring some amazing games over the next few years, each one of them a solid reason to buy Nintendo's newest console IMO. MarioKartU, a Fire Emblem game, etc. etc are others that will sell like crazy.

The launch lineup doesn't interest me, but I hope Luigi's Mansion 2 turns out to be good.

Deku-Johnny4198d ago

Agreed and I'm really hoping something comes of Nintendo's announcement earlier this year that they're working on at least three new IPs.

Earthbound
F-Zero
Diddy Kong Racing
Wave Race
Blast Corps
StarFox

Edit: An Advance Wars game would be neat also

Christ I hate this whataculture site. Every list is spread across n+1 pages. I click all the way through to number 1 hoping for something insightful and I get a F'n question mark. All this site does is make lists and spread them across as many pages as possible for hits. The only games on the list that could technically be resurrected are F-Zero and StarFox... the other 2 on the list have recent games. This is really pathetic.

I so agree with number one on this list. I sincerely hope that "?" comes out on the WiiU.

Zelda Replay: Majora's Mask

VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."

Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.

Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.

Wii U games that still haven't been ported to Switch

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.

How would XCX work without dual screens functionality?

Cacabunga17d ago

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

Profchaos17d ago

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.

Stevonidas17d ago

Devil's Third is HIGHLY underrated.

repsahj17d ago

They should remake Starfox to the switch 2. Very beautiful game during gamecube days.

Chocoburger17d ago

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.
