It would appear that Nintendo had an oversight with the Wii U in that a pre-owned console, despite being wiped clean, can still allow a future owner to download free games from the eShop.
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.
hmm not 1200% sure the guy can be trusted, but if thats true huge over site on ninty part
Whether this works or not depends a lot on the method used to "clear" the pre-owned console. If you use "Clear All Content and Settings" in the Settings menu to clear the console, then yes, any eShop content will still be active on the Wii U and can then theoretically be downloaded again. If the Nintendo Network ID itself was deleted (which has to be done explicitly, "Clear All Content And Settings" doesn't actually do this) via a deletion of the specific user who purchased that content, then that content cannot ever be downloaded/used again on that console without buying it once more. Similarly, content purchased on a Wii U cannot be used on another Wii U as you cannot 'sign in' to a different Wii U once your NNID has been created, thus binding your NNID seemingly permanently to the console it was created on. Hopefully this information is useful to someone.
I haven't bought a single game on the Eshop so if I sell mine he/she ain't getting nada.
