The atmosphere around the Wii U is a little skewed these days, no?
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 love the Wii U, once again Nintendo has given us a new way to play. Some People say, "oh well its based on 7year old tech" that is completely false. It is new tech and developers have not even utilized all of Wii U's power. Also 7 years ago the gamepad would not have been possible. Games like Zombi U, Madden 13, Nintendoland, BOPS2, and others really show the potential of future gameplay. So many Nintendo people are bashing Nintendo, and they have not even tried the system, and I don't mean at a gamestop demo. I mean sat down and really experienced what the Wii U is all about. Nintendo has raised the bar for Internet integration. The gamepad is fluid and responsive. I will expect we will see by Feb when Gearbox releases Alien Colonial Marines A bigger gap in Graphics than PS3 and Xbox...This is one game I can not wait for. Here are links to what Gearbox says about the Gamepad and the graphics being better on Wii U.
Gamepad.... http://www.escapistmagazine...
Graphics.... http://www.computerandvideo...
right out the gate wiiu is coming with PORTS of games that are pushing the ps3 and 360 to the max. the wiiu casually tosses these games around (on TWO screens) effortlessly.
these games were ported lazily and easily too wiiu (alien tech) in a matter of months.
that should tell you all you need to know about wiiu's potential.
in a few months you will see the wiiu humiliate ps3 and 360 graphically.
of course, 360 and ps3 owners will still say the graphics are last gen, despite the inevitable shower of gorgeous games that will come to wiiu that would be technically impossible on ps3/360.
its obvious what is going on here: ps3/360 fans who have had the luxury of having a laugh at the wii up 'till now, all of a sudden are in a position where their consoles are no longer cutting edge.
over night their consoles became obssolete-old hat. over night, NINTENDO fans could brag their console IS the most powerful on earth.
ps3 and 360 fans can't cope with that fact.
I dont understand what people dont get about this ... COD was built for 3 platforms (360,PS4,and PC).. It wasnt built or even optimized for the Wii U ... The Wii U was still in development AND the dev kits werent even final until 3 to 4 months ago....The games arent properly programmed to use some of the new features in the hardware yet (other than the tablet)....
Did you expect Developers to spend day and night to reinvent their engine to run on another platform fully optimized with only 3 to 4 months time? The install base isnt even high enough to justify that kind of investment for most companies.
For what the Wii U is now it does a great job.. It runs all the ports that are out at the same quality if not slightly better with a good amount of FPS (some slowdowns) on two screens..
People need to chill out ... The Wii U in time will be a better system than the 360 and Ps3... But you need to wait until developers learn how to optimize their engines to take advantage of the new hardware in the Wii u...
Game engines aren't like cars where you have two cars with the same driver .. one with 500 HP and another with 600 HP and you just pour race gas in and go... it isnt that black and white... No one knew how to use Cell in the ps3 until late in its life cycle .. most games didnt look on par with the 360.. yet the ps3 should have smoked the xbox on paper...
Have some patience.. You are comparing the Wii U to systems that have software fully optimized for them late in their life cycle...
people expect miracles these days, good games dont come by magic but time and money, two factors that hold the wii u down at the moment, i own a ps3 and wii u and had 360's in the past and i dont see wii u as a sub par last gen system. also cant wait for aliens wii u edition, my ps3 is in sleep mode untill lat of us come out, and yes last of us will probably look better than any game on wii u for a while as its taken 3 to 4 years to make and took sony 7 years to get games that good the ps3 didnt launch with games nowhere near that quality it took time. wait a year or 2 and we will start to see what wii u can do, on another note ps4 is rumoured to have a very similar set up, ati gpgpu on an ati apu, simalar to wii u mcm, 2 to 4 gig ram, bearing in mind game streeming is very demanding on ram so prob 4, 2 for system 2 for game streeming, psvita full connectivity unlike the half assed ps3 method, will be more powerful but by how much.
