One Year on, are Things Getting any better for the Wii U?

Over a year ago, the Nintendo Wii U was unleashed onto the Western video games market, however, following it's release, the console has plummeted into a state of absolute failure. Now, one year on, Nintendo Feed asks the question, are things getting any better for the Nintendo Wii U or are we still looking at what's set to be one of the worst video game failures of all time?

I don't see monster hunter 3 U, Nintendoland, Batman arkham city, call of duty blops 2 & ghosts, assassin's creed 3 and 4, rayman legends, New super mario bros U/luigi, Lego City Undercover, scribblenauts unlimited, & Deus Ex: Directors cut.

i only included the AAA exclusives. after all, that is what makes wiiu unique and will make people purchase a wiiu over the competition.

only 4 titles right now (according to my own standards and that of AAA critical acclaim.)all are adventure type games, and one is a remake/port. i dont even truly believe wonderful 101 is a AAA game, i just put it in to be kind.

wiiu needs more variation in its titles.

Shnazzyone3793d ago

How is lego city undercover and MH3U not AAA exclusives?

wonderfulmonkeyman3795d ago

Quite a bit so, if you include the near future of the first 4 months of 2014, if not the first half.
Yeah, it's still not selling like the Wii and PS2 were, but few if any could do that, so I don't expect it.
In the Wii U's case, it's going to be more of a marathon than a sprint.
It won't go down to the Gamecube's numbers.

Quite rightly said, Nintendo consoles more often than not come out well in the end.

The "wiiU" is getting better, as for sales wise so far no comparison to past Nintendo systems. But let's not take away from the fact that the software coming threw to the wiiU are phenomenal, I just don't think people are giving it a shot, shoot I haven't even gave them a try, the last game I got since release was wind waker and that a remake, I just think me personally and I know many others are just waiting for certain games we all know smash bros and mario kart have proven themselves already add a reliable game and promising experience. The wiiU will get better gaming wise as it is starting now , as for sales I think it will.be another GameCube, solid games but people just not picKing it up

I honestly feel that if they would of released now during this period, it would of out sold ps4 and x1, people would of saw what it was offering because wiiU biggest fault is it being wiiU and Nintendo not advertising what makes it different compared to wii. If they released it now it would of gotten shine.

LOL_WUT3795d ago

Game wise? Yes, the only problem is that they ended the year pretty poorly with no other big game except 3D World. And as for the sales the console is still not selling despite a price drop and new releases on bundles and games. ;)

ritsuka6663795d ago

no other big game except 3D World.'''

Dude,you not even know what the fu** you're talking about.Staphhh.

deafdani3795d ago

Well, he's right... Nintendo had Donkey Kong slated for release on december, but then they delayed that game to february. Leaving the last month of the year without a major release for the Wii U.

Unless you know something we don't? If so, enlighten us.

link2Dpast3795d ago

So are you agreeing that the games are good then and then saying that's their down fall. Because they have games, they weren't gonna wait till the end of year to release all of them. They were spread pretty good being released. And as I said in my previous comment sales are not based on.price. drop or relates to the system it self, it's based on Nintendo being totally lost and now knowing how to advertise it this is their biggest fault, they should kill the WII and push the wiiU and show it can play wii 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?

Cacabunga1d 17h 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

Profchaos1d 17h ago

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.

Stevonidas1d 16h ago

Devil's Third is HIGHLY underrated.

repsahj1d 15h ago

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

Chocoburger1d 11h 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.
