Nintendo has confirmed that they've only shipped 5.86 million Wii U units globally in their Q3 Fiscal Earnings and that 2.41 million of those happened in 2013.
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.
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.
It'll hit 6 mil soon. I thought it was much worse, 6 mil in a year is low but not enough for doom articles. Give it through the end up this year it'll def pick up with more games n another possible price drop.

9.55 million after being launched world wide for a year.
Wii U is in pretty terrible shape. Full year as the only new console and it was almost stagnant. Even with price cuts and game releases thing won't pick up much.
@CaulkSlap not true the reason the sales was so high for GameCube at that time because all their AAA titles came out already....smash ,mario kart ...Zelda and mario .....the wii u has not released their AAA games yet except Mario 3d world so you can't really compare until after this year when all the AAA games are released or most and once Zelda come out ,,nintendo wii u can possibly sell 6 million consoles this year with the games they have coming out this year ....smash,kart,x,yoshi,and possibly Zelda ..just saying
Third party software,for the most part, can not compete with Nintendo's first party triple A software. I guess Nintendo could try not to be such an amazing video game software developer but what fun is that? Uh oh. What I meant to say was Sony forever!!!!
It's never too late to act and turn things around, but Pokémon game or half life 3 being exclusive to the WiiU would really be the only two things that could save Nintendo's console and boost sales significantly this time around.
