Ninemsn games writes: As the next gen battle heats up between Microsoft's Xbox One and Sony's PlayStation 4, another gaming console languishes in the background, buried beneath unfair misconceptions levelled at its creator. The truth is Nintendo's Wii U is a much better gaming proposition than you think.
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.
I got a better reason not too: $349 for current-gen console hardware.
I will patiently wait for actual next-gen consoles such as the PS4 which by the way is only $50 more then the Wii-U.

1 reason to NOT buy Wii U now. Super Smash Bros. comes out next year
I'm very interested in virtual console titles since I've never owned a Nintendo console (though I played them extensively with friends). But yeah I've got lots of catching up to do with classic titles.
Maybe I'll get a WiiU like a year from now or when a new full-fledged Mario/Zelda game comes out
