Tynan Muddle at Aussie-Gamer.com writes: "The old argument "there are no games for Wii U" is rendered moot when you consider the sheer number of titles on the system already available.
In fact, Nintendo lists a very healthy 88 games, all but eight of which are already released and ready to buy either on eShop or in stores. And despite all the negative arguments against Nintendo's latest console, the breadth of titles that are on the machine make it the most robust console launch in history."
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.
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.
If only there were more unique quality titles in that list.. Wii U needs original AAA core games besides the ports.. Bayonetta 2 is a good example
It doesn't matter how long the list is if many of these games are old ports or games that don't even have a release date and ultimately leave us with months of games of wait for something worthwhile to play on the system.
The next Wii U game I'll be picking up is Pikmin 3, and that comes out on August while the last game I got was NFS (which I didn't happen to grab earlier): that's a five-month wait of me playing nothing but NFS on the Wii U.
Sadly this list is not sufficient, not expansive enough. Many of these games are VC games and older ports. So while there IS more content, a lot of it is content that many gamers already have access to on other platforms for cheaper prices. You can't really justify it with those titles.
Bust out some Smash Bros. and Star Fox and then it will be a very different story.
Hey, sweet, so let's see what we have:
-Games eons off from release or that do not have release dates.
-A handful of mostly poor quality, highly overpriced, rom dumps.
-Mediocre ports from three other systems that have been on the market for a minimum of 7 years.
Convincing list. Why not throw up the entire Wii library on your list, since the U can play them? It would fit in well with the agenda of the article.
There are less games on Wii U thank you think.
