Nintendo may not be able to walk on water but they did resurrect gaming from the dead. Look, they aren’t perfect by any stretch of the imagination but without them we would probably witness another videogame crash.
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.
I like Nintendo. I don't love them. I don't buy every single game they make. I buy the ones I like.
What I never understood is why people get so mad that Nintendo goes a different route. I thought people like variety. People got mad that Nintendo pursued motion controls. People got mad that Nintendo pursued the casuals. People got mad that Nintendo systems rely on 1st-party software. It's different than what Sony and Microsoft do. So what? I thought variety was a good thing.

It seems like double-talk to me. Nintendo usually puts one (rarely two) entries from a series on each platform. But Sony and Microsoft get away with putting three or four of each franchise (Gears, Halo, Uncharted, Motorstorm, Resistance, Mass Effect) on a single console and that's okay. By the way, I DO think that's okay. The more games the better; I'm just pointing out the contradiction. Nintendo is simply giving fans what they want. If that fan isn't YOU, then I understand your frustration, but again, why does every game console have to be the same? Why does every game console have to be aimed at the exact same sort of gamer (not asking you, specifically, just posing the question)?
To be fair to the industry, I think they are right to be panning Nintendo atm for the state WiiU is in. I am a Nintendo fanboy but the amount of games out after the launch titles has been embarassing.
That being said, to say it is doomed is very premature and we will see how it goes when the big games come out over the next few months.
this was a very good article. Now, where the heck is luigi in that last supper pic. how did he get shafted again?? nice to see cloud making it in though
