The next generation is finally here. Excitement! Enrapturement! Expensiveness! Though which of these two shiny new boxes of magic and wonder to purchase? Getting both would be just greedy!
In one corner there’s the Xbox One with its love of non game-related media, and its eyes and ears that study your every move. In the other corner stands the Playstation 4, the great-value gaming machine that loves games so much, it keeps giving you them for free (ish).
Both are out and ready to buy right now. So which next-gen console do you choose? How about the Wii U?
“Boo! Hiss! The Wii U isn’t proper next-gen. It’s doomed!” you might say but think about it for a moment, it’s no secret by now that the launch titles for both the Xbox One and Playstation 4 are less than fantastic, quite typical of new console launches.
Though with the recent releases of Super Mario 3D World, Wind Waker HD and Pikmin 3, it’s managing to build up a roster of those classic Nintendo games we’ve come to...
Major 2023 game anniversaries include The World Ends With You, Mario Kart Wii, and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, among many others
20 years later, The Wind Waker’s Ganondorf is still The Legend of Zelda’s best villain.
There’s still hope for Super Mario 3D World’s legacy in this modern era of Nintendo.
If they do make a sequel, they should incorporate Bowser’s Fury’s game design into the mix. Think Bowser’s Fury’s overworld where you can find warp points to linear levels like Mario 3D World.
How about some third party support first? Until then, no. Nintendo fans should being hoping that WiiU can at least make it through another year of mediocre sales.
There are some really great titles on the Wii u and some of them are 3rd party titles. Rayman legends on U is the definitive version, AC 4 is only a slight step below the ps4 version, and there are several exclusives available now and later this year that can't be beat. I played half way thru the 360 version of AC 4 then tried the Wii u version and was shocked at how much better it actually is. There is also the virtual console, which offers some incredibly awesome old school stuff. The Wii u is a great value at the current price and it really is a sweet system. Anyone who says otherwise hasn't spent any amount of time with it.
I chose the PS4 for obvious reason. I will pick up a wiiu someday.
WiiU is far more capable than xbox1 for game performance end of if you think otherwise your daft.......ive watched difital foundry videos of AC4 on wiiu/ps4/xbox1 and wiiu has the best water and water reflections,wiiu version has better textures than xbox1 on almost everything,wiiu has less rain thats it ???
Lets compare X next year...to AC4
I am proud you picked the system that works for you. We all get to pick the one we think is best for us. Do you need a article to explain why? Nope. Just pick the one you think is best and game on.
