1UP: The Wii U's core is probably the least interesting thing about it, in my opinion. It's essentially a piece of kit on par with PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, but compacted into a box about the size of the Wii. I don't see much sense in arguing about whether it's more or less powerful than other current systems -- even as far back as the Super NES/Genesis console wars, you can see the vagaries of hardware "power" at play.
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.
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.
Well to be fair, I wouldn't call ANY console launch perfect. They've pretty much all had problems, but they always get better over time. I'm getting a Wii U, most likely very early next year, same way I'm getting a PS4 whenever that releases. Fanboys can suck it.
Another article claiming the WiiU is only on par with the PS3/360...
Really unsure about keeping my pre order now. I may wait until a HD Mario Kart and 3D Mario release.
In the meantime, I'll probably stick to my PS3/360 and my Wii/3DS for my Nintendo fix.
I don't see why most are judging the Wii U so early, it seems people forget that launch titles tend to be very close to the previous generation games because the hardware is new. give it time before we make any assumptions.
This needs posting here. http://www.neogaf.com/forum...
Somebody from neogaf stumbled across a testing page on MiiVerse. It's been blocked now but they found some very interesting info!
New games on the way?
