In an industry where Capcom is on the market to be taken over and THQ has close down, the new generation has to be on the rise. Nintendo is not gonna repeat the same mistakes again. We may not get Mortal Kombat X, but we’re definitely getting Soul Saga, Shantae, Mighty Number 9 and sooo much more.
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."
A new list goes over eight of the the most useless amiibo, ranging from the Shadow Mewtwo card to the Qbby figure.
Exactly; indies are the seeds of the next line of new third party companies, and many of them are already showing games that prove they've got the development creativity and potential to create some truly glorious AAA games in the future, given money and the time needed to acquire experience in that field.
They're Nintendo's new hope for solid AAA third party games, now that people like EA and Activision are either making badly-supported multiplats on Wii U, or not doing games for it at all,[like Bethesda] so it's smart to invest early and give the indies that will rise up to that level some background working with Nintendo, so that they won't feel awkward about coming back to them in the future with an exclusive or two, let alone multiplats.
WOW! Never thought of that. I guess eventually people will get tired of EAs crap. Though hopefully Ubisoft will stick around.
You have to cultivate the indies now. Before, B-games were able to stand alongside big first-party games, but since EA and Activision killed B-games off by bloating their own games' budgets, indies are filling the gap left behind.
Inexpensive to make, but full of experimentation and quirky charm; that's indies. Nintendo is smart to work with them.
There is a big diamond waiting for the company who finds the next great game company in all the indies. Nintendo has done a great job of finding the good games so far...
