NE: "It's uncommon to obtain official data from the NPD these days. The company does, however, tend to leave clues about the performance of hardware."
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.
Heard it was around 80k, but it's still bad, but not as bad as it could be considering there has been ZERO software to support the console.
I wonder if Monster Hunter will pick things up. Its not exactly a huge seller in the west and it didn't do much in Japan for whatever reason.
I hope Lego City does well, too.
Increases are always nice but 64k is just not encouraging. Nintendo should be ashamed the way they are managing their console business line. Week in and week out the new release line up for the WiiU AND the Wii is utterly abysmal these days.
Not looking good, hopefully Nintendo will start rolling out the heavy hitting published titles this fall. (3D Mario, Zelda Wind Waker, and Mario Kart)
