rustyshell.com: There’s no denying Wii U had a pretty great launch line up. Some say it was the best ever, I say there was more quantity than quality. Either way, there was some good games to play and truly something for everyone. With the launch (and 2012) out of the way, now’s the time to ask what games we have to look forward to in 2013.
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.
Sadly I was an early adopter of the Wii U who bought into the hype, now the only thing I'm looking forward to is Alien Colonial Marines. Nintendo has failed miserably at getting third party support and has yet to announce anything really compelling in my opinion. I should have saved my money and waited a year for a killer app and a price drop. Colonial Marines better have some decent improvements over the other versions like gearbox claims, although I'm starting to doubt that :(
The Wii U is just getting started. March will close out the "launch window" with a bunch of good awaited releases, which I will be picking up. Then it's anybody's guess what Nintendo will pull out of their hat for E3 and summer releases. I am an early adopter, and love my Wii U. Nothing but good things to come.
Failed miserably was an exaggeration I admit. The launch was really good for sure but 2013 is looking lacklustre so far and Nintendo is really missing out on pretty much all the highly anticipated 3rd party games that apparently were supposed to be so easy to port and improve upon. It's strait up disappointing. Also as a side note how the fuck is a racing simulator like cars even going to work without analog triggers, guess everyone will be peeling out and losing control the whole time sounds fun...
- Pikmin 3: maybe, but not too high in my priority list.
- Game & Wario: not at all. I enjoy minigames, but not enough to pay full price for them, and they have very little lasting appeal to me.
- Rayman Legends: probably. I know it will be an awesome game, but I'm getting a bit tired of 2D platformers (New Mario Bros Wii, New Mario Wii U, New Mario 2, Donkey Kong Returns, VVVVVV, Cave Story, Super Meat Boy, Splosion Man, not to mention Rayman Origins... I played them ALL, this generation had a lot of 2D platformers, so I'm feeling a little burnt of the genre now). Oh, who am I kidding, I will probably end up buying it anyway. I'm a sucker for platformers, in case you didn't realise from what I just wrote. :P
- The Wonderful 101: Hell yes. I will read various reviews, but I suspect I will get this one.
- Project CARS: VERY interested. Gran Turismo disappointed me a bit, and I've read Project CARS will be more of a middle ground game (between simulator and arcadey experience), so I'm interested. Will likely buy it depending on reviews.
- Need for Speed Most Wanted: Nah.
- Wii Fit U: hell no.
- Aliens Colonial Marines: maybe. Not much of a FPS fan, but if it has a decently sized campaign (as in, more than 8 hours), then maybe.
- Lego City Undercover: HELL YES!!!! I LOVE Sandbox games, and LEGO games are always stupidly fun, so this seems to be right up my alley.
I'm dead set on Pikmin 3 and have an eye on Wonderful 101. I'm not even gonna mention Bayonetta since it won't come out in a while. I have no absolute interest on the rest of games announced to be honest.
