Forbes writes:"Last year I played Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag on Wii U. I hadn’t liked any of the earlier games in the series but it was new, and in the world of videogames newness is easily confused for worth, creating its own micro-culture of consumer cartographers attempting to divine their way between through the two collapsed poles. Expecting little from Black Flag, and having been preconditioned to expect even less from Nintendo ’s underpowered gimmick console, I was surprised to discover how much the touchscreen controller added to my experience, something I found myself missing while playing this year’s Assassin’s Creed: Unity."
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.
It improved some games like Deus Ex, Mass Effect, Watch Dogs, Batman Arkham City, etc, but the problem is the technical performance of the games. If it has bad pop-in and framerate, what good does the gamepad stuff do?
Rayman on WiiU is still top notch.
I think Nintendo also has the best CoD experience. It's a shame that the community isn't there.
No it wasn't.
It's true, if developers and more so publishers weren't so afraid of the gamepad and all the possibilities it can bring to a game third party games could have a lot of potential. There are a bunch of 3rd party games that did do very well. Deus Ex was the definitive edition of the game, NFS Most Wanted was amazing on the WiiU, Rayman Legends was tailor made for the WiiU and as much as I dislike the game Call of Duty had the best Local Multiplayer out of the other versions. But EA though behind the WiiU at first for some reason went anti-nintendo and all the unnecessary WiiU hate the first year and a half pushed devs and publishers away.

Just helping you finish your sentence there.
