At one point in time, all of the best RPGs were coming out on a Nintendo system. That changed pretty quickly when the Playstation came along, leaving the N64 with the bare minimum for RPG fans. Since then RPGs have evolved a lot, and while the Gamecube and Wii still received their fair share of RPGs, the Big N has not really gotten the same amount of love from a genre that defined itself on the Super Nintendo. Things look to be changing on the Switch, with games like Skyrim and Dragon Quest coming to Nintendo’s newest system, but before then let’s take a look at some of the best offered on the Wii U.
Pure Arts Reveals Borderlands Collectible that fans should l8ve.
As difficult and frustrating as it is, people should consider reliving the Dark Souls 2 experience, especially because of what's coming to the game.
Many of those who hate Dark Souls II hate it because it's not Dark Souls. The same people love Dark Souls III because it isn't Dark Souls II.
And so many of the issues at the centre of common complaints about DS2 are present in DS3 and sometimes even DS1. The hatred and bile spewed over this perfectly decent game is ludicrous.
I don’t think it’s a terrible game, but like a movie sequel by a different director, for me, it does NOT capture any of the “magic” felt from the Miyazaki entries. Boss battles don’t feel epic, environments don’t have the same sense of awe, the enemy variety isn’t particularly interesting, the art direction just feels bland, about the only thing I can give it praise for is some of the music.
Now, again, this is only how I feel about it, so I’m not trying to invalidate his you feel about the game, but it is the worst entry in the series due to those factors and it’s the least re-visited entry, for me.
Is it decent as a game on its own? Sure. But in comparison to the Miyazaki entries, it does not stack up and I believe that’s where many were disappointed with it.
You can also play it in VR flawlessly on PC & controller with the LukeRoss mod so… another reason to jump back in with extra immersion.
The controls felt very clunky to me, I tried playing it after beating Darksouls 3 and it didn’t feel fluid, obviously the hit detection is less superior for been an older game.
Ever play a game a game only to discover at some point it transforms into a horror game? No? Well Netto's Game Room shares six games that do just that!
Not necessarily a ‘horror’ moment, but I remember feeling really tense and anxious when the Flood were first introduced in the original Halo. I never felt more on edge or nervous in that whole game as that moment. I think it was the whole buildup that something terrible was coming but you didn’t know exactly what.
Another non-horror game that had me feeling it was Subnautica. The deep dark depths, and knowing that sea monsters were lurking nearby, had me jumping at every sound.
I remember being scared of the Asylum level in the most recent Thief game from 2014.
Nintendo really tried with the Wii U. A Monster Hunter 3 HD title, Xenoblade Chronicles X (a massive jrpg on a grand scale), and a new jrpg IP titled; Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE.
Loved the Wii U (still do), though it's kind of a blessing the console failed because it would've left Nintendo adapting to their old ways. After hearing developers praising the Switch for its ease of development (Nicalis can attest to that!), its the wake up call Nintendo needed to make the Switch was it is today.
I recently just bought Child of Light during a flash sale on PSN and I'm loving it so far. Great thing that this RPG is available across a wide range of platforms
funny enough, thats all what the system has to offer in that department.
Best Two JRPG in the past 4 years on consoles. Xenoblade Chronicles X and Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE
