CVG - Nintendo's most successful home console retires to the attic after six years - but what is it's legacy?
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.
I disagree with that header somewhat. Last Story and Kirby's Anniversary game are due this year. A few months after that the Wii U will come out. After that, then yeah, I believe the Wii will be dead.
Yea i think nobody really is gonna buy the Wii after Wii U has been released. I never really liked the Wii cause i wasn't into motion gaming but Wii U is bring focus back on the controller while adding motion and tablet gaming(Which i don't mind as long as i can still play with a controller) so i'm really excited for the Wii U.
I know many will disagree but i just wish they could get rid of the wiimote all together. Just stick with the wii u gamepad and pro controler.
It is something when you consider how used to motion gaming we have become in the past 6 years (for better or worse). We had Excitetruck on the demo Wii at EB Games and everyone who picked up the Wiimote for the first time was a bit "freaked out" by the experience. The Wii has had its ups and downs but I am glad I bought one launch day. Zelda, Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, No More Heroes, Deadly Creatures, Excitebots, Metroid Trilogy, DKC Returns, both Kirby's, the sweet selections on the virtual console (like Do Re Mi Fantasy & Alien Crush Returns), heck it even breathed new life into Madden with the "call your shot" feature... and no matter what anyone says, NHL Slapshot rules.
I remember when MW3 came out, there was about 2 millions players on Xbox and PS3 but only 800 players on the Wii. Today they are never more then 9000 players online on MW3 compared to BO were they are 40000 players every day. This is mostly due to a lack of support and no DLC. ( And the fact that the game is sh*t )
Wii is dead.
