Hope they offer a transfer between consoles like with the 3DS.

Wow $50 for my Wii? What a deal!

It seems GameStop knows nothing about equivalent exchange.

PopRocks3593987d ago

HA! I see what you did there. Bubble up for hilariousness.

Utalkin2me3987d ago

50 for the wii is a great deal...

ABizzel13987d ago

It was an Alchemist joke

_QQ_3987d ago

It actually is a good deal, i had trouble getting even a 40$ sale for mine so i ended up just givig it away...

Double_O_Revan3987d ago

$50 is great, what do you expect for a system that is 7 years old and was already outdated when it released?

BeZdaBest3987d ago

not for me.. once i got my wiiu and transferred my stuff i hacked it...so no dice..

Summons753987d ago

That sounds pretty decent if you want to just throw all your saves and virtual console games out the window.....

JuleyJules3987d ago

You can just do it the way my friends did - buy the Wii U first, transfer everything over to the Wii U and then bring the Wii in for your $50 towards a new game. Then you have everything like your saves, miis and vc games.

Wii U games that still haven't been ported to Switch

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.

How would XCX work without dual screens functionality?

Cacabunga2d ago

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.

Stevonidas2d ago

Devil's Third is HIGHLY underrated.

repsahj2d ago

They should remake Starfox to the switch 2. Very beautiful game during gamecube days.

Chocoburger1d 21h ago

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.
