The Nintendo Wii U is not expected until sometime in 2012, and if the console did not have enough attention it has just been given a shot in the arm with news that Valve is to collaborate with the console. This has now made things much more interesting, which means that excitement will now grow due to expectation with the WiiPad.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."
Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.
Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.
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.
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.
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."
Why don't Valve just wait untill the 720 and PS4 are out...they can work on a better console then going for the one which will be the weakest of the bunch when all of them are out
what a stupid comment, do u know that they are going to be anymore powerfull? wii U will be a great maching with more power than current gen that is why they are working with nintendo , also they already have a market way more powerfull than any 720 or ps4 could ever be called PC'S,
im looking forward to see what can be done with this new machine and the wiiU control
WiiU is a beast
Opengl comparable to DX11/12
Custom Power7 CPU/32mb EDRAM/Simular to Watson obviously not as many cores ect but same principal lots of cores with tons of EDRAM
Custom HD Radeon GPU using AMD's most advanced graphics technology
8 gig flash
HDD/SDHC
Upad controls for immersive gameplay and Multimedia
75% faster clockspeeds/360/ps3
2gig of GDDR very fast RAM/8 times ps3 and using faster more capable RAM make it 8-16 times more powerful
Open Online/EA at E3 imagine playing all these games in an open enviroment
1080p Native/60fps+
Epic says its a powerful box and can open new doors for graphics ps3 cannot do
Valve says its alot more powerful than ps3
In general the ports have taken a few months which speaks volumes of WiiU power
Early tech demo's Zelda/Bird are not possible on ps3/360
the wiiu will have enough support thats for sure
cant wait ;)) lookin forward to later this year when we see some goodies
