The high definition capabilities of the Wii U and its processing ability in relation to Xbox 360 and PS3 will enable many of the key third-party franchises to appear on the platform, Nintendo global president Satoru Iwata has said during a post-E3 Q&A session.
"So, some of the hardware limitations that have been a hurdle for those developers to create their games on our console, are going to melt away when we move to Wii U because it is an HD system," said Iwata.
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.
The big third parties during the SNES ignored it (with the sole exception of 3rd parties in Japan). EA, Sony, and Activision made most of their games on the Genesis.
The big third parties during the N64 ignored it completely. The PS1 got all of the 3rd-party games.
The big third parties ignored the Gamecube. They said it was because "sales were low" even though they ported everything under the sun to the Xbox.
The big third parties ignored the Wii. When it sold a bunch, they sent their D-teams to make crappy minigame collections (which - big surprise - did not sell).
So magically 3rd parties are gonna support the Wii U? How dumb can Ninendo get?
"However, Call of Duty, the biggest franchise of them all, didn't make the list." Oh c'mon. They went to the effort of gimping their games for the Wii, now they can just port the games over. They're going to put their games on every console under the sun, regardless of power.
