"Wii U is dying." "Wii U is dead." "Wii U blah blah woof woof." Yes, the machine is in trouble, but everyone is so quick to criticise and put the boot in while Nintendo is apparently down, they’re forgetting one thing: 3DS is a massive success. And it’s just quietly getting the job done in exemplary fashion.
After being benched for 20 years, and returning only to be forsaken again despite being a splendid game, it's time Kid Icarus gets salvation.
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."
Ah yes, I remember the Articles

PC, Wii U, Playstation 4, 3DS.
Set for life.
Articles like this keep forgetting the main difference between Wii U and 3DS, 3DS has third party support yes the price drop and the first party games helped the 3DS bounce back but I doubt that would have been enough if it did not also had the awesome list of third party exclusives.....
It has good software. Not much of a story.
I wonder: why is it that the media (and community) consistently try to portray Nintendo as an underdog (whose success are "unlikely" and whose failures are inevitable) when Nintendo is a much, much, much bigger entity than Sony and Microsoft's game divisions combined?
They're not the underdog, people. They're the Big Boss.
