NE:
Back in February, we put together a massive feature detailing over 120 upcoming indie games for Nintendo’s Wii U platform. Today we have updated that list to double that number – 240 titles. The flood of Indie content to the Wii U is rapidly approaching.
In our original article we mentioned Nintendo’s HTML5 Web Framework and their support of the Unity game engine as key elements that leant themselves to the massive number of indie titles heading to the system. Today we also count Impact JS and Construct 2 to the growing library of game engines that support indie efforts on the Wii U.
For a deeper look at the business behind this indie revolution we suggest you read the original article by Nintendo Enthusiast founder Menashe.
So, without further ado, check out our thirteen lists of 240 Upcoming Wii U Indie Games.
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."
A new list goes over eight of the the most useless amiibo, ranging from the Shadow Mewtwo card to the Qbby figure.
Dang. That's a lot of games...
Beasting.
But Wii U has no games xD
This scares me actually. A lot of fluff or is there any meat on these bones? If a mass majority of these are garbage, I fear it will not help the Wii U positively. Maybe short lived boost, but in the end this could walk the same path the Wii did in the end.
The WiiU needs more meaty big seller titles. There are some great games coming soon, but past those few titles, as for now, it's a mass of possibly forgettable fluff.
I give Nintendo credit for at least trying. I look forward to seeing more indies games for the Wii u. keep up the good work Nintendo.
