Kotaku - Did you get a Wii U over the weekend? Good for you! You go enjoy that. This question is for those, like me, who did not.
I'm curious as to why you didn't go line up and get one at launch. Are you waiting for more games? Better games? A price-drop? Different colours? Or have you decided, in your infinite wisdom, to write off a console on day one, regardless of how amazing its future games and experiences may be?
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.
Not a big fan of Nintendo games ever since. Sure I played Mario back in the days, but it's not just my type of game...I can just buy multiplats.
Too many problems at launch. Not RRoD-caliber yet, but I refuse to be a beta tester for a system.
Never bought a console at launch. I like to give the manufacture time to work out hardware kinks, as well as seeing software library becoming more fleshed out.
cuz ps4 is coming soon.
Well i decided to hold out after the erratic reviews of ZombiU, helped in no part by the now infamous 'Cricket Bat' used to kill zombies in the game. I feel that the Wii U has developed a bit of a stigma coz of the Cricket Bat incident..... i don't want to be labelled as 'the guy with the Cricket Bat console' so I've decided to hold out and wait till the Cricket Bat 'dust' has settled, may purchase next year.
