MasonicGamer.com: How Nintendo totally botched the Wii U launch, seems like a pretty harsh thing to say but I’m going to call this one down the middle as best as I can. Right now within the industry it appears that slamming Nintendo’s newest console is the new trend and whilst it may seem that I’m trying to join in too I’m actually not, I’m writing this article as a long time Nintendo fan who paid £299 for a Wii U on launch. I’m not going to bring in stupid sales figures into this, I’m writing this one straight from my head.
Nintendo’s last two systems were a huge success to put it lightly, the Wii was one of the best selling systems of all time and the DS is probably on track to become the best selling system of all time. What are the sales figures? Who cares it’s not important, all that matters is that you know these systems were massively successful for Nintendo to the point where it’s next two systems would basically try to ride off it’s success.
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 wont get a wii u untill the price drops to a reasonable price and I wont buy any wii u games until there price drop to a reasonable price. Nsmbu is not worth 60 dollars and doesnt even looke or sound like it does either. Its nsmb wii but with baby yoshi and a speed run challenge mode. Everything else is the exact same. graphics, soundtrack, gameplay, characters, etc. I mean 2 toads again for 4 player co-op? are you Censored kidding me?
Why would I spend 350 for the delux console and 60 for nsmb u when i can get 90% same experience on a wii. Also dont get me started on the crappy online and the lack there of for these games yet you are paying 60 dollars for them why?
I personally hope this is the worst selling console for them so they can learn something.

the wii u's online is surprisingly really good, you obviously haven't used the system so your opinion is void. if people actually play it then don't like it, fare enough you can't like everything but saying something is rubbish without even testing it is arrogant to say the least.
the wiiu is an incredible system with so much possibilities..i will say one thing..nintendo is not getting the right message out there....i actually now prefer that first european commercial then any u.s.a commercials at least they say its a new system...nintendo need to do a right commercial explaining all the pluses of the wiiu and that its a new system...almost like a genesis does commercial....wiiu does what you cant do on other systems
The wii u is looking to be a complete failure. Pity.
