I think this is normal. If a Wii U owner does not buy SM3DW or Monster Hunter or Pikmin, what he could buy else?

admiralvic3771d ago

The Wonderful 101, Wind Waker HD, Sonic Lost Worlds, Rayman Legends, Super Luigi U, Mario and Sonic at the Winter Games, Wii Fit U and Pokemon Rumble U (this is a stretch). These are just the top of my head and people should just drop the "Wii U has no games" trope. It has a few games that are without a doubt interesting and worth playing.

Fire Emblem Awakening was a really pleasant surprise for me. I knew it was on it's way then kind of forgot about it until about 2 weeks before release.

At that point I got really excited for it, bought it day 1, one of the last copies at Target, and played it for 55 hours over the course the the next week.

* It was better than I expected in a lot of ways it was littered with quality through out.

mydyingparadiselost3771d ago

I got Fire Emblem about a week and a half ago for 15 bucks and it's so good I wish I had paid more. I've played most of the FE games and this one by far is the best, the relationship aspect and the interactions with the characters are top notch and gameplay is smoother than all the other iterations. I'll be picking up the next entry at launch if it's even half as good as Awakening!

TheDivine3771d ago

SMT4, Fire Emblem Awakening, A Link Between Worlds, Wind Waker HD, Mario 3d World, Pikmin 3, Rune Factory 4, and Etrian Odyssey Millinial Girl for me. Mario and Luigi Dream Team, Wonderful 101, and Luigis Mansion for honorable mentions.

Really amazing year for Nintendo all around. Even the WiiU had more amazing titles like Splinter Cell, COD, AC4 and others. Next year will be better though if that's even possible.

RAFFwaff3770d ago

Fire Emblem Awakening is my portable game of the year. Zelda ALBW and Animal Crossing New Leaf a close second. My fav Wii U game of the year is (contoversially) Splintercell Blacklist. Though im loving the vastly under-rated Wonderful 101.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds - Classic Zelda turns 10

The Nintendo 3DS' The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds is now 10 years old, yet remains a remarkable experience.

kythlyn151d ago

Calling this classic feels so weird to me. It's still the newest game in the old style... hope they make another one.

FinalFantasyFanatic150d ago

I would love a remake of Link to the Past, one in a similar vain to Link's Awakening.

Neonridr151d ago

it was an awesome game and utilized the 3D very well on the 3DS. A Link to the Past is one of my favorite Zelda games, so this one being a true sequel to that title really hit home with me.

franwex151d ago

I bought this very long ago, and it’s still in my backlog!

10 Video Game Sequels That Saved Their Franchise

Video game sequels like Assassin's Creed Origins, Doom (2016), and Fire Emblem Awakening were just what these franchises needed to be revitalized.

Immagaiden354d ago

Lmao what’s Halo Infinite doing on this list?

Who would ever say Halo Infinite saved the Halo franchise

SullysCigar354d ago

Thought the same - very bizarre!

RE7 though... my God, what a shift over RE6! That franchise was definitely going in the wrong direction, so RE7 was a welcome return to form.

ModsDoBetter354d ago

Resi 6 was and still is the worst entry in the series.
7 was a great turnaround, despite people’s concerned about the switch to FP perspective.

DMC5 definitely helped the franchise after the whole DmC debacle. Whilst it was a decent action game, it was a far cry from the series and the characters we knew.

AC Origins is my favourite in the entire AC series. Despite the switch to a more RPG style of gameplay - the setting, soundtrack, length, etc were all amazing. sadly followed up by the ridiculously long and “more of the same” Odsyssey.

I don’t feel it’s fair to say the franchise slipped with Doom 3, Doom 3 was incredibly atmospheric and took the game in a different direction but there’s no denying Doom (2016) was sensational.

Halo 4 & 5 were disappointing but Halo Infinite definitely didn’t save the franchise? What?

TheEnigma313354d ago (Edited 354d ago )

I'm going to have to go with SMB 3. I was around when SMB 2 first came out and people hated it. 3 is still arguably the best mario game created.

HellspawnPR1981354d ago

"Halo Infinite"? Worse Halo ever. Whoever made this list just lost all credibility.

Hofstaderman354d ago

In future lists of a similar nature I have a suspicion Final Fantasy XVI will feature.
