Kotaku - After a Wii U launch that was full of ports of big games from big game companies, it appears that the winter and spring will see the Wii U missing out on most of the major games coming to its rival consoles.
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.
A lot of the games were already in production for current platforms...I doubt many studios will stop in the middle of everything just to announce/start working on a Wii-U version.
I, know that Crytek is working on something for Wii U, but not Crysis 3, there are a ton of games that are in the works for Wii U, and some are exclusives. So I for one am not worried. I am most looking forward to Alien Colonial Feb12th, its on all platforms, but Gearbox says Wii U is the best Version. I have PS3, PC, and Wii U, but will pick this up on Wii U for sure. http://www.joystiq.com/2012...

Not really surprising considering it takes time to make games for a new console. Nintendo was fairly hush hush about their console and how it worked, so it isn't surprising to see these titles not hit the WiiU right off.
and that is why , i don't buy a new console from day 1
when Bayonetta 2 and few RPG's get released on the wii U .. then i will think of getting one.
Considering that the 360 and ps3 didn't get ports of big games from the ps2/xbox in their launch windows, this doesn't come as a big surprise.
However, there is a separate company porting a game from Square enix, i'm suspecting it's Tomb Raider, so Wii U owners have that to look forward to.
Let's hope that by the next year, the Wii U will get more third party games come to the system.
