MasonicGamer.com: The Wii U is almost upon us. In just six weeks, Nintendo’s brand new system will be unleashed upon the awaiting populous. Some are excited, looking forward to playing lifelong favourites in high definition for the first time; some are wary, having been let down by the Wii and not willing to build themselves up too much this time; others are downright disappointed, comparing the system’s power to that of the current generation and not being pleased with what they see. As for me, I fit into the middle category.
I finally got a chance to play the Wii U at this year’s Eurogamer. I didn’t have as much time as I would have liked, as it was a very popular attraction, but at least I got to hold that controller and see some games firsthand. Graphically, they’re nothing special, which I think everyone knows by now. We’ve gotten used to HD gaming over the last seven years, and even though Nintendo claim the Wii U is more powerful that the Xbox 360 and PS3, it’s not enough of a jump to impress many people.
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.
... *IS* Nintendo not "are nintendo"
and an article as dumb as the title. I guess they'll give websites to just about anyone these days..
Stupid article. No Nin is going to not embrace WiiU. They spent hundreds of millions just to drop it.
sarcasm
Seems like you write any old s*** with an attention seeking headline as long as you label it an "opinion piece".
Every game is better graphically and the exclusives make use of next gen gtaphics ie zombiu and trine 2 so does fifa and black ops this guy needs to get a grip 360/ps3 were struggling to beat gamecube/xbox graphics on there release proves wiiu is a beast.
