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.
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.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "10 years. It’s been almost 10 years since the last mainline release in the Mario Kart series. Mario Kart 8 came out for the Wii U in 2014 and became the best-selling game for the system by a sizeable margin, and later pulled the same magic trick on the Nintendo Switch under the stage name Deluxe. All in all, it's sold nearly 70 million copies over the last decade and is still selling like hot cakes to this day, so it’s no wonder Nintendo has been in no rush to replace it. However, with rumors of a new system being just around the corner, and reports a few years back that a new Mario Kart is indeed under way, it seems the era of 8 might very well be drawing to a close. It’s an exciting prospect to be sure, but after two Nintendo systems with Mario Kart 8 at their heart, a lot of questions remain about how Nintendo will choose to follow it up."
I hope they just keep building on Mario Kart 8; Add a track-creation tool, and probably open it up to more Nintendo IPs with new tracks and characters, so Metroid, Punch Out, Starfox, Animal Crossing, etc etc.
there wont be a new one until the switch 2 comes out.
nintendo needs their bangers early on
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.
