Nintendo has teamed up Rufus Hound, an English comedian, in an effort to win the UK audience in a series of videos that highlight “The Wii U Difference.” The goal of the video series is to create awareness about the Wii U which it has been lacking up to this point. However, with the first video, Nintendo might have buried themselves in to a deeper whole by degrading the most crucial piece of the Wii U hardware.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."
Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.
Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.
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.
They should remake Starfox to the switch 2. Very beautiful game during gamecube days.
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."
"The great games require a game pad” only to turn to the viewer and snicker “No, not really.” "
This is an odd moment for the advert. I, at first, thought it was a fake advert taking the mick out of the Wii U (some sort of comedy show). I almost reported the post until I released it was real. One bad to do when advertising a product is to say your product/or part of it isn't really needed.
I still think Nintendo need completely change tack with their advert direction. Sitting with family and friends watch TV (on those rare occasions) they wonder what that good look game is. Nintendo need to advertise it like this. Show something cool with explosions or something like that. We are fickle beings
These adds need more Dinosaurs.
@GenericNameHere. Exploding Dinosaurs in fighter jets like my avatar!
My god that was a bad advert.
Do Nintendo really want this console to fail?
didnt they just praise literally a second after, it was a joke. Like i dont NEED wipe cream, but it makes the smoothy taste that much better. Quit over analyzing
Very good advert in my eyes....
Another article twisting the words of the original,look the ad says it's the icing on the cake if you watch it....basically saying the GAMEPAD makes it superior over other consoles ect great advert....and with Windwaker,Ghosts,Watchdogs,Don keykong,Wonderful 101,ect it will be a success..
