Earlier this week, Ubisoft’s CEO, Yves Guillemot, stated that the company would stop producing mature titles for the Wii U after Watch Dog on the basis that “Wii U owners don’t want mature games”. This has riled up the Nintendo community with many fans taking to forums and Youtube to voice their disagreement. On the heels of that video, the Youtube channel Strictly Nintendo has released their own video which takes a calmer and more mathematical approach to challenge Yves Guillemot’s statement.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."
Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.
Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.
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.
They should remake Starfox to the switch 2. Very beautiful game during gamecube days.
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."
I would change that to "Nintendo console owners don't want to buy Mature games anymore".
Because there has been a "second class citizen" trend where devs were giving incomplete ports on the Nintendo Wii back in 2007/2008. Slowly, people started backing out to go play the PS3 and 360 versions instead.
I mean come on, the first Call of Duty games on Wii were million sellers.
People just changed ship before it sinks, now that sadly Assassin's Creed and CoD wont be on WiiU anymore.
Of course Nintendo fans want mature games. Ubisoft has to have realistic expectations though too. They're as bad as someone releasing a game on WP8 and complaining they don't get one million sales. Cater to the audience. That's the biggest problem right now. Everything gets overly generalized and dumbed down to play on the lowest common denominator. Create one game, and release it on 8 platforms. Why was it that back in the day companies like Rare ONLY released on N64 and were perfectly fine? These big companies are too big and it's their own fault, not ours. If they can't make enough money to be successful then rethink the strategy.
All my opinion of course
Rayman was delayed, AC in every incarnation sucks ass, Watch dogs hasn't come out yet...
I purchased two copies of AC4 to support Ubi and it was total shit! Although I did enjoy Splinter Cell it was clearly a mediocre port! No enhancements very little extra features! Way to generalize when you continually shit on the fan base!
Oh yeah and I bought zombie u at launch, horrific graphics, it's as if they never even tried!
