We recently got a chance to play Ninja Gaiden 3: Razors Edge on the Wii U and could not have came away more impressed. The enhanced port really added in the elements that were missing on the PS3 and 360 versions of the game. Dismemberments are back along with a fully featured upgrading system, an exclusive playable character, and enhanced difficulty. Playing a port that added such great features to the game got us thinking what other games on could be enhanced with a Wii U Port? We managed to put together a list of games that could really benefit from the Wii U’s unique controller and added functionality.
Nintendo Has Acquired Shiver Entertainment From Embracer Group
Great news it shows that Nintendo intends to continue developing ports of AAA games to its next gen platform
Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal
I didn't do any gymnastics I can assure you, honestly I don't know why you think that, not hating I seriously don't see why you think that
Yeah I don't know where that came from. It's rare for Nintendo to flat out aquire studios. Guess they were trying to be edgy but why flex on this studio. 🤣
I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.
Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."
You can't make this crap up lol
Mortal Kombat 1 was never going to port well I'm sure they told wb it wasn't going to work but wb wants that sweet sweet 140 million install base
In the end wb approved the project cleared the milestones and allowed the product to release
Yeah this guys ported MK11 which is great, Hogwarts Legacy which is great, and MK1 is now ok, play it every day
Game developers have already started to confirm that they will support the Nintendo Switch 2 with their future titles.
Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."
The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.
i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.
nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.
people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly
mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.
zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.
nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.
its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.
but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.
Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
I would personally appreciate if Resident Evil 5 and 6 are ported to the Nintendo Wii U entertainment system. I have never been a fan of splitting up franchises across different console brands, but still purchase them when necessary. Kinda like the Bayonetta 2 incident. If Resi 5 and 6 are ported I would be able have a complete collection of Resident Evil titles all under the Nintendo umbrella.
I would also openly welcome a Skies of Arcadia Legends HD port
Rated E For Everyone
I agree with a few of these like kid Icarus and borderlands.
kid Icarus seems unlikely though i quite enjoyed it the studio has closed and the makers said it was a one off. Borderlands has slight possibility gearbox seems to like the Wii U and id love to see it on there. castlevania i could also see a port of after the release on other consoles though.
the way resident evil is going lately i could care less and Other M is best left forgotten.
Guess I'm the only Dark Soul's fan that thinks the Wii U would be perfect for it. Dark Souls is an online game that doesn't have a pause button; the Wii U would be a perfect fit to have the inventory and possibly several hot-keys, on the Wii U GamePad. Also, the nasty slowdown in Blighttown could be fixed because of the extra RAM and GPGPU power on the Wii U. I know that FromSoftware didn't do such a good job on the PC port but they do know how to develop for consoles, and I think that they could do a killer port or sequel to Dark Souls on Wii U.
I know it's a long shot but it's just me hoping...
