BootHammer | The launch of the Wii U is nearly upon us. With a game changing gamepad and an impressive lineup of games finally available in HD, Nintendo seems to have everything in order for a successful Wii U debut. I’m sure many are still on the fence on whether or not to pick up the new system so join us as we give you three simple reasons to purchase Nintendo's Wii U at launch.
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.
New is (almost) always exciting.
"games finally available in HD"
Nintendo games have been available in HD for a long time about 5 years (Dolphin Emulator). Just that the casuals have finally caught up lol.
@luffygumgum
No ones advocating piracy, you can buy games then emulate them. HD on Nintendo games is nothing new for the ones who know ;-)
Casual gamer (console gamers) only just caught up.
@poprocks359
Many people are illegally downloading games on the console hardware itself be it the PS3 or Xbox 360. Bottom line is, if anyone wants to be pirating they may do so on the hardware itself. Emulating on another hardawre doesnt instantly mean pirating, the same person may as well do it on the original hardware.
Never pick up a console on launch. It is just not worth it. I wait 6 months usually to get a new console.
I can think of more than 3 reasons NOT to pick up the Wii U at launch! Lmao.
Seriously though, it's much better to wait about 6 months to 1 year before getting a new console, because there won't be a healthy library of games until then. Don't make the same mistake I did with my Vita...
