Wow, Trine 2 down to $7.99.

What a steal for anyone who doesn't own that yet for their Wii U. Amazing game, and well worth that price tag.

Does it take a lot of time and resources to put VC games on the Wii u e shop? It seems they would be using their vast library of existing games to get out on the E shop- not necessarily all at once but they could be releasing more than 1 or so VC games a well on it to keep everyone interested while they wait on their new 1st party games

It takes some time and resources, because (for some reason) Nintendo doesn't have a single emulator they use for every game; each individual game gets its own, tailored emulation code.

Which is silly.

And, of course, there's ZERO EXCUSE for delaying VC releases of titles that are on the WiiU VC in Japan and on the Wii VC in NA/EU. The only explanation for the delay of games like Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy III, is that Nintendo doesn't plan on bringing any new games to the WiiU VC (that is, games that aren't already in the Wii VC) and need to spread those titles out over a period of several years.

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.

How would XCX work without dual screens functionality?

Cacabunga4d ago

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.

Stevonidas4d ago

Devil's Third is HIGHLY underrated.

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.
