Don't you mean to make a wii u "MORE" worth buying? Wii u already has many reasons to buy.

Sly-Lupin3468d ago

For some people it's more about quantity than quality. That's why this list has multiple disposable "shovelware" games, and games that haven't been announced.

deafdani3468d ago (Edited 3468d ago )

I see your point about unnanounced games (Metroid Prime 4?), but shovelware? I don't see a single shovelware title on this list.

Mario Party is the one that comes closest to "shovelware", and even that is stretching it a lot.

frezhblunts3468d ago

Right!?!? I know I am probably getting almost every game on that list if not every. I am 24 too, kids 10-17 think these games are for kids but people my age know better.

DryBoneKoopa853468d ago

I'm getting just about every game on that list myself! I'm 29 and my wife is 26 and we love playing Nintendo games.

frezhblunts3468d ago

Yeah dry bone i play these games with my gf. She loves zelda, so we play hyrule warriors together

Concertoine3468d ago

For the new starfox all i want is.
Starfox Assault gameplay with better on foot controls.
Solid Online play.
16 players online.
More weapons, stages and vehicles
great story mode.

shaw983468d ago

I don't want ground missions and story has never been the focus of starfox. The plot is to defeat an evil space monkey.

Sheed3468d ago

but, it worked effectively for the multiplayer

Wii U been worth buying since November 18, 2012 sorry it took you 2 years to realize that.

I feel bad for gamers that skipped on the Gamecube and Wii. They basically played other systems while missing out on the best overall publisher of games ... Nintendo.

I generally own all the consoles ... I can't imagine missing out on Nintendo games.

shaw983468d ago (Edited 3468d ago )

As a gamer, I could not survive a console generation without Nintendo. I can't solely play on PC. The main reason I game on pc is because I have to have one for work.

BigDuo3468d ago

Shadow of the Eternals and Metroid Prime 4 don't belong on that list since A) the former is vaporware at this point and B) Retro hasn't announced its next project yet, and we probably won't even see it at E3 next year for that matter. Anyway, I want all the other listed titles except for Mario Party 10 and Mario Maker. The only projects that are announced, but are not confirmed for release/localization yet are Fatal Frame 5 and Fire Emblem X Shin Megami Tensei.

Loadedklip3467d ago (Edited 3467d ago )

Yea I would have replaced the Vaporware with Fatal Frame.

If they wanted to do an honorable mention and say ... "bonus ... Retro has already begun working on their next project and rumors are that it is going to be big" ... that would have been better.

I do hope it is Metroid that they are retaking over but if not ... then maybe let them try to create something completely new and fresh. See what they can do.

As much as I love Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze ... Wii U has plenty of platformers and more on the way. Wii U need something else from Retro. Metroid or New IP works for me.

Looking Ahead: The Lingering Questions About the Next Mario Kart

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "10 years. It’s been almost 10 years since the last mainline release in the Mario Kart series. Mario Kart 8 came out for the Wii U in 2014 and became the best-selling game for the system by a sizeable margin, and later pulled the same magic trick on the Nintendo Switch under the stage name Deluxe. All in all, it's sold nearly 70 million copies over the last decade and is still selling like hot cakes to this day, so it’s no wonder Nintendo has been in no rush to replace it. However, with rumors of a new system being just around the corner, and reports a few years back that a new Mario Kart is indeed under way, it seems the era of 8 might very well be drawing to a close. It’s an exciting prospect to be sure, but after two Nintendo systems with Mario Kart 8 at their heart, a lot of questions remain about how Nintendo will choose to follow it up."

I hope they just keep building on Mario Kart 8; Add a track-creation tool, and probably open it up to more Nintendo IPs with new tracks and characters, so Metroid, Punch Out, Starfox, Animal Crossing, etc etc.

gold_drake6d ago

there wont be a new one until the switch 2 comes out.

nintendo needs their bangers early on
