Today, some huge announcements were made by Nintendo. Announcements of new games were the center of attention as this is exactly what Wii U owners have been waiting for… or is it? The Wii U has done fair in sales for sure but has left players on the unhappy side in terms of games. Gamers want to love the Wii U but there is something keeping them from that feeling. When new announcements were made by Nintendo earlier today most players were alert and ready to hear exactly what they were going to say. There was an excitement in the air as we awaited big announcements from the company.
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.
They should remake Starfox to the switch 2. Very beautiful game during gamecube days.
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.
Nintendo is seriously starting to mean nothing to me. Why do they even bother to announce new things anymore? lets continue to do the same thing but sort of change the color of the main guys hat but only somtimes cuz Luigi's dreaming about his brother... smooth :/
Eh, I never was a Nintendo fan.
The last Nintendo Direct focused more on the Wii U, this one was more on the 3DS. Nintendo has an extremely successful handheld department that they have to continue to support are nuture. There are over 25 million people with 3DS devices that are eager to learn about what new games they are going to get to play. We had some pretty good Wii U coverage with the whole Resident Evil Revelations, Monolith Softs new game, the new Fire Emblem game and Bayonetta 2.
It's funny how they have a really good Nintendo Direct with a lot of surprises, now suddenly everyone expects them all to be like that...
Anyone who was expecting Wii U announcements shouldn't have. A whole bunch of Wii U games in the last Nintendo Direct, which was like, only a month ago. They're probably saving their big announcements for E3.
They should really lower the price of there console to 199. Then maybe it wouldn't be so bad. If not they're going to be joining sega and jaguar in retirement!
