Nintendo knew today’s Wii U Direct was important for many-a-reason – did they deliver?
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.
I believe they did. Nintendo fans have a lot to look forward to. New IPs, an HD remake to one of the arguably best looking Zelda games in the past decade, new installments to beloved franchises, updates to the OS and Miiverse... all announcements specifically for the Wii U. Nintendo did amazing work on this conference and I think they made a lot of fans happy.
I don't see why people have gone out of their way to spin this conference negatively and I don't know what their expectations could have been. Nintendo did a lot in this conference to get fans excited and whether or not people liked it, it has gotten people talking. I don't speak for anyone but myself, but I say this; this conference made me really excited and quite pleased about having gotten a Wii U. Sure people here don't agree with that, but hey, it's their loss in the end. 2013 was already looking pretty solid for gamers and I feel this Nintendo Direct made it even more so.
Yes 100% and it's only a Direct they have these all the time nothing new there but what they announced was special and there is lots more on the horizon.
I think they made a good start and it will be rolling on.
Third parties complain about sales, however, Nintendo leave the door wide open and all the majority do is port with lazy extras added. And you wonder why you don't do well.
With development cost going up and studios like THQ sinking, developers should try harder. one can not survive without the other. Simples.
Well they kind of did deliver, only it would've helped if Reggie didn't lie when he said that multiplats on Wii U look significantly better.. I expected a bit more from the graphics, but they are definitely adequate.
It's sad how when Nintendo finally shows off and officially talks about all these amazing upcoming games you get all the pathetic little haters that still refuse to acknowledge the amazing games coming to the WiiU. There is just no pleasing these blind fools, yet if Sony or Microsoft would have done this these same morons would be praising that company to high heaven.
Anyways I am hyped as all for the games they talked about and I can see that the WiiU is going to be a must buy for me. I am huge Atlus fan and a huge Fire Emblem fan, so I must play Shin Megami x Fire Emblem day 1.
