Top 10 must-buy Wii U exclusives in 2015

GameZone: "While the Wii U’s 2014 was about finally releasing games that people wanted -- and blowing them away with those games -- 2015 for the Wii U will continue to build an excellent library of exclusives both new and old. There are some games coming out on the Wii U in 2015 to be seriously excited for. While we don’t know a lot of details about some of the games on this list, the Wii U will be a force to be reckoned with in 2015. Here are the Top 10 must-buy Wii U exclusives releasing in 2015 (in no particular order, because ranking these are hard)."

Well I know I'm getting at least five of those games. Great year for Nintendo fans!

ABizzel13399d ago

2015 is a good year for Nintendo fans like I said. Nintendo would be wise to capitalize on it all year long with a price drop in March ($229 - $249), and a MK8 + Smash Bros. bundle ($299). A nice price drop, along with a great line-up year round could pick Wii U sales up, and make a strong case for gamers picking up a secondary console.

2015 will also be make or break for Wii U IMO, which is sad because it has the games, it's Nintendo, their image, and the hardware that's the problem.

Anyway great 2015 for Wii U.

CloudRap3399d ago

Zelda and Starfox might make me consider getting a wiiU

Loadedklip3399d ago

If u seriously don't see anything you like ... you clearly have very limited taste in games.

2. The Legend of Zelda

I'll end up getting most of those.

Not really interested in Kirby though.

I like Kirby, but not the whole drawing gimmick thing though.

Lots of games in 2015 for all consoles to be excited about.

Locknuts3399d ago

Yeah it sucks that if u don't have every console you're going to miss something awesome.

Concertoine3399d ago (Edited 3399d ago )

I really liked canvas curse but the new kirby game is way more suited for the 3ds. It'll probably be playing in beautiful 1080p on the wii u but you'll be forced to look at the gamepad if you want to be accurate.

JimmyDM903399d ago

I'm hoping Mario Party finally finds its footing again. It has been a mixed bag for years.

Metallox3399d ago

It won't with that car mechanic around, it kinda ruined the franchise for me.

Jyndal3399d ago

Zelda, Xenoblade, and Starfox will keep my attention for a good, long while.

Yea. I own it but don’t want to pull out the Wii U

Zeldafan64310d ago

I never unplugged my Wii U. Still play it almost daily but a definitive edition of X would be appreciated.

jznrpg310d ago (Edited 310d ago )

It’s one of the systems I have the least games for . Though there are some really good games on it. I have systems from Atari’s , Nintendo’s, Segas , TurboGrafx 16 , PS’s etc etc so I put a few in my game storage room. I do pull it out from time to time and I have a new one in a box but won’t open that .
But I’d really like to have a Chronicles X but not on Switch whatever the next console is preferably so they can add more quality to it .

Zeldafan64309d ago

Lucky, you didn't need to explain that.

Zeldafan64310d ago (Edited 310d ago )

Playing X at 1080/60 would be great so waiting for the Switch successor would be ideal but it wouldn't be smart to make it a launch game. It would suck waiting til 2025 to get X definitive edition but I think that's what will happen.

I know people say Wii U has no games but I've got over 100 games for it.

luckytrouble310d ago

I mean, when people say a system has "no games" they aren't saying the system literally had no games released on it. They're more commenting on the state of games that make the system worth owning. For many the Wii U never had a game that made the system worth owning, or if it did, it has a Switch port or successor at this point anyways so they were effectively proven correct to have never purchased a Wii U in the first place.

Yes, depending on the individual the Wii U remains worth owning for the handful of games still locked to it, but for many they'd rather just wait to see what else gets ported in the future at this point. There is exceptionally little you can only play on a Wii U these days though, especially with the eShop dead so anything that may have existed only on it is no longer of consequence to non-Wii U owners.

chaos999310d ago

They said it cost too much time to remap controls unfortunately

luckytrouble310d ago

In all fairness, that's probably a reason they're passing on a few of the still Wii U locked games. Starfox Zero, among the reasons you may not want to port it, would need its entire control scheme reworked from the ground up. Chronicles X may not be as extreme of a case (I don't know, I've never played or watched gameplay), but often unless a game is going to sell really well, it can be hard to convince a company to do more than the basic expected remaster work. Heck, a lot of people figure the only reason we got Galaxy 1 in the 3D All Stars collection for example is because they had already done the work for the Nvidia Shield port for China, which subsequently is likely the major reason they didn't include Galaxy 2. They simply did not want to remap the game controls. It may sound silly since it sounds so simple just by the words, but you have to figure more goes into it than you're probably thinking if it's that much of a sticking point.

DefaultComment310d ago

Yes, I agree. We definitely need to retake Xenoblade Chronicles X which btw it left us on a cliffhanger suggesting there wiull be a XCX2 .... and im up for it.

isarai310d ago (Edited 310d ago )

I put so many hours into X, just please ad a music volume setting was going crazy walking around base and hearing

"UH UH... YEAH!.. YEAH!...YEAHYEAHYEEEEAAAAH!..U H UH!"

FinalFantasyFanatic310d ago

I can't believe they haven't done it yet, it's the Xenoblade game I'm most excited for, I would buy it in a heart beat.

The Best Kirby Games Ranked from Worst to Best [Mainline Titles]

BLG writes: "Kirby has been a Nintendo staple since he was first introduced on the Gameboy in 1992 so ranking the best Kirby games is no easy task. Created by Masahiro Sakurai and HAL Laboratory, the little pink puff-ball has made an appearance on every Nintendo console and handheld. While there are over 30 games with Kirby’s name attached, we’re only going to rank the 17 main storyline games."

I wish The Last Story would make a comeback.I played it years before I got around to Xenoblade. Mainly because of the scalping going on because of Xeno's limited run. It took me a few tries to get into it but once I did I couldn't put it down. A Wii hidden gem for sure.

pietro1212747d ago

As much as I love Xenoblade, Last Story was the better game IMO. I wish Nintendo would remaster or simply port the game onto the Switch.

porkChop748d ago

Xenoblade went on to be a really successful franchise too.

pietro1212748d ago

I wish the Last Story get a Switch remaster or remake. That game deserves a second chance
