Nintendo Life writes: "2K Games president Christoph Hartmann is clearly something of a Nintendo fan, and has made some incredibly positive noises to UK trade publication MCV. Speaking in an interview which goes live on MCV tomorrow, Hartmann was effusive in his praise:"
"Nintendo always impresses and surprises me. The team there has so much knowledge built up over many, many years. Nintendo always finds its crowd."
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.
Right. Because Nintendo has never failed with a console, ever.
And because basing hardware around pointless gimmicks always works out well in the end.
I really don't think Nintendo, or most people in the industry, really have the slightest clue why the Wii, or DS for that matter, were so monumentally popular. If they did, or if Nintendo did at least, the Wii U and 3DS would look very different.
As to why the Wii was so successful when you could get a far better gaming experience on he PS3 or the 360 in my opinion.
Lame, it will fail in comparison to the Wii, which means it will fail.
Get a Wii instead.
I didnt know Tom hardy's brother was the boss of 2k games.
So wait, when there's an article with a dev bashing the Wii U or an analyst saying how it'll fail, people flock to it with the same "Nintendo is doomed" rhetoric. But when a dev praises the Wii U or says Nintendo will succeed, then it's bullshit? Hmm, if I didn't know any better I'd think some people here want to see it fail.
