VGN Author writes: I’m pretty amazed by the Wii U. I have to admit this console is not what expected. Coming from a PS3, Xbox, PC, I decided to get a Wii U after finding an incredible deal this past week. I mean what the heck, Mario Kart 8 is just around the corner and the Wii u library is rather attractive today.
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.
MK8 and Smash U are two games I'm totes waiting on. Bayonetta looks interesting also
I actually really like my Wii U, it's really underrated, and I think you definitely have to own it before you realise just how great it is. Sure, just playing it does help, but it doesn't quite set in how great the console is until you own one yourself.
Yeah, it's weird that a few people have issues with Netflix on the Wii U. If you look around you'll see a lot of people don't have a streaming issue and declare Wii U the best Netflix experience around.
I don't know what the difference might be between those with issues and those who dont, but you should try, if you haven't already, to manually configure your wireless connection. Just Google it for how to do this. Wii U definitely has some issues with certain routers and doing this will often solve the problem.
Maybe also fiddle with settings on your router and test different configurations out. Fixing your router to one channel instead of auto for example might be a good place to start. Disabling the 2Ghz mode and hardware firewall is another. The Wii U doesn't like it if the router is placed right next to it either as it can interfere with the wireless connection to the GamePad.
The Wii ethernet adapters are less than $10 these days and work with the Wii U.
Best to get it sorted because the issue probably isn't with the app but internet/router based and would effect other online stuff like CoD multiplayer.
Lol
Good thing too is that these games will mostly likely play even better than they look. Always a staple with Nintendo games.
