"Wii U sales hit a low in January and February this year, according to the latest NPD data."
INDIE Live Expo, Japan’s premiere online digital showcase series , will debut never-before-seen games & content updates across more than 100 titles on May 25th.
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.

Sure buddy... You're trying to tell me it has a deeper story than goat 🐐 simulator 4000?!?!?. I wanna give bg3 a shot but my brain is burnt out on long games
Or you can flip it and they are incredible for a hardware that has no games.
IGN is the same company that said "And as a result, I'm sure Revolution (Wii) -- like GameCube -- will become a niche console for Nintendo fans."
IGN also claimed the original Nintendo DS would "be discontinued and replaced by a portable GameCube, one that used actual GCN discs."
Actual quote: "And more intriguing still, sources claim that Nintendo is once again trying to make the machine a portable GameCube."
And of course they used the same spin they're pushing on the Wii U against the 3DS as well. 31 million units later....
You can argue these numbers all you want, my point is that IGN has a long standing agenda against Nintendo, and is definitely trolling for hits and trying to make things seem as bad as possible. If you want Nintendo news its best to look elsewhere.
PS: Hey IGN, how is your financial status? Not too good from what I hear.
Nintendo really should have thought things out before they released Wii-U on the market..It's clear Ninty didn't have any solid plans for the console because they seem confused about Wii-U themselves..
Wind Waker and Pikmin 3 are going to be sick. I could care less about the sales of the Wii U. Nintendo is rich and cheap with their money, they're doom proof.
Edit: @ caseh lol, I know! Mario bros Wii U had only two themes, think about that. The nice way of putting it, Nintendo is smart with its money, lol.
for me there is no game worth investing for the console at the moment.
Give me a brand new Zelda and it'll be hard to resist.
