GiantBomb:
The future of Virtual Console? Metroid? Other Retro games? The status of Earthbound? These are things I wanted to know. Sadly, Nintendo's senior communications director, Charlie Scibetta, wasn't budging.
After being benched for 20 years, and returning only to be forsaken again despite being a splendid game, it's time Kid Icarus gets salvation.
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.
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."
If you don't want to hear the whole thing, it goes something like this.

Why must nintendo be so secretive?
They enjoy failure being fickle, sticking it to the fans.
i wanted starfox , we got him, but not like i wanted. (getting ass kicked by wii fit trainer)
We got 13 exclsuives to keep us busy until the next real Zelda and whatever else ninteneo has in the pipeline. It isnt like the games we are getting are crap... They all are extremely polished and look great. They aren't going to show all their cards now prior to the holidays.
Wait, "the status of Earthbound"? Beyond the Virtual Console?
Does the guy interviewing seriously think that Nintendo is actually going to talk about...Earthbound? Even if they are working on a super top-secret project regarding Earthbound (which would be pretty damn amazing), does anyone really expect Nintendo to say anything about it at all?
