NE: "I want to make it clear that I absolutely adore the Wii U as a console, but it definitely has some major problems. The two everyone seems to be talking about are the oddly long load times (10-20 seconds for an app, sometimes more than 30 for a game) and the big one-hour update that you have to do right at the beginning."
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.
I couldn't believe how long it took me to set up my console. At least 5 lengthy updates, plus installing new apps, plus transferting data over from my original Wii.
That's not casual friendly. It's going to be a real headache for parents on Christmas morning.
Nice to know the guy isn't being a fanboy and actually admits there are problems with the WiiU. Good for him. Hopefully Nintendo iron out all of these problems in the near future. sometimes it sucks to buy hardware at launch.
both the ps3 and xbox needed countless updates and are getting them still.....nintendo and wiiu is off to a great start and im sure nintendo will iron things out...im very happy with my wiiu regardless of haters
that was a killer update at the beginning..then the update just to play nintendo land was horrible...its just as bad as the PS3 with with downloading an then installing the update..i like how the 360 downloads an installs all in one swoop...but still enjoying my Wii U
It wasn't all that bad for me... took me about 45 mins. to download the update and 15 mins. to install it..
The load times kinda suck, though..
