Nintendo says that the Wii U will come out during the holidays but that doesn't mean it has to be November or December.
Various games are listed for October release on the new system and Nintendo's own comment on what exactly dictates "the holidays" leaves open the possiblity for a release before Hall-O-Ween.
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.
My guess is that it releases in time for the launch of Assassin's Creed III which is probably one of if not the most important game so far announced for Wii U's launch. Reason being it'll test the waters on hardcore support and whether future big, core 3rd party titles are viable on the platform.
Personally while I'm getting a Wii U day one, I'm getting AC3 on PS3, like I did with AC2,ACB and ACR. And I'm sure millions more will do the same.
This would be a very shrewd play by Nintendo. They should not run the risk of letting the 3rd Party games they annaounce get played on other systems.
it depends for me if the black Wii U model is available at launch time, because i want that version of the console.
If it comes out on the same day as AC3 then that beats black ops 2 to market. That would mean it would get call of duty day and date with the others. If its on there. But Activision loves money so its probably on there.
hmm, judging from E3 and the early release, it seems there will be no exclusives this year for the wii-u and no reason to buy one.
here is to hoping for TGS and the next year
