Kotaku- For sports gaming, the Wii U wasn't looking much better than its predecessor even a month after release, and there are no signs the console is going to be a full partner anytime soon. The signals sent by sports' dominant publisher indicate it just has no interest in building for the console.
It's not just that the Wii U was left off the official announcement of Madden NFL 25. The bigger signal is that Tiger Woods PGA Tour will not have a presence on the platform when its next edition releases at the end of March.
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.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "10 years. It’s been almost 10 years since the last mainline release in the Mario Kart series. Mario Kart 8 came out for the Wii U in 2014 and became the best-selling game for the system by a sizeable margin, and later pulled the same magic trick on the Nintendo Switch under the stage name Deluxe. All in all, it's sold nearly 70 million copies over the last decade and is still selling like hot cakes to this day, so it’s no wonder Nintendo has been in no rush to replace it. However, with rumors of a new system being just around the corner, and reports a few years back that a new Mario Kart is indeed under way, it seems the era of 8 might very well be drawing to a close. It’s an exciting prospect to be sure, but after two Nintendo systems with Mario Kart 8 at their heart, a lot of questions remain about how Nintendo will choose to follow it up."
I hope they just keep building on Mario Kart 8; Add a track-creation tool, and probably open it up to more Nintendo IPs with new tracks and characters, so Metroid, Punch Out, Starfox, Animal Crossing, etc etc.
there wont be a new one until the switch 2 comes out.
nintendo needs their bangers early on
Three months after it launched, the wii u is irrelivant to gaming should actually be the headline going by the sales and non-interests by gamers who arent nintendo fanboys.
every week i read two or so reports about game development studios dropping support or cancelling games for wii u. instead of talking about making games for wii u dev studios are talking about cancelling games or avoiding the wii u is a sign that the system is done for. wii fanboys can deny and deny all they want but the abysmal sales and lack of games are telling. its all nintendos fault along with the sheep nintendo fanboys that accepted lackluster systems and games where anyone who isnt a nintendo fanboy doesnt show interest.
No GOLF!?!?
What am I ever going to play on my WiiU!? The only reason I want a WiiU is to play Golf- Same with Wii---

Boo Nintendo...
...I think?
Wii U will flop hard, i said it from day 1.
They might make a few bucks, but the console is an absolute aftertought to core gamers, and no i dont mean Kinect buyers...
EA are the only ones that's trying down Nintendo because they said no to origins so screw them for messing up a cash revenue stream. It's business not personal.
I think what people fail to remember is that the system came out after all major releases so the majority already have it.
Nintendo can sell a machine with just their games on it and they will do fine.
Nice Wii U troll article Kotaku.
