The release of Mario Kart 8 has boosted Wii U consoles sales. Is there anyway Nintendo could continue this trend? What is it that is holding people back from buying the Wii U at this point? Does Nintendo have a long term plan to boost sales of the system? The Gamers Lounge speculates on what the sales numbers mean and asks the question can the Wii U succeed the same way the Wii could?
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.
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.
HELL NO. the ps4 has tho
LOL NO WAY!!
As much as I love the Wii U and I think Smash Bros, Bayonetta 2, Devils 3rd, Hyrule Warriors, etc will do good things for system sales; it'll never reach the popularity of the Wii.. it's too bad, but for those of us who do own one, it's a great system and is only getting better with the release of some great titles.
As much as I wish it had more 3rd party support, it's ok... that's what Xbone/360 and ps3/4 are for...
I love my WiiU but no.
Well, no.
But that's exactly why it's better than the Wii.
