Forums - Nintendo Discussion - gamrReview - 6 Games that would be awesome on Wii U.

In celebration of both Nintendo launching its sixth home console in just a few months and the upcoming E3 2012 expo I decided it would be fun to let our imaginations run wild for a bit and dream about all the possibilities that Nintendo’s new system has to offer. For this article I decided to look at six of the main elements of the new console and apply them to established franchises to see how the Wii U’s capabilities can be applied in numerous different ways. Remember, nothing here is confirmed (yet) and this piece is all in good fun, but of course if anyone from Nintendo R&D is reading, my email is on the ‘team’ page (call me).

As always enjoy, and let us know what games and ideas  you guys have in mind for the Wii U.



Around the Network

Sonic Generations - I love this game and would looove to have a reason to run through it again.



Strategy games, strategy games, and more strategy games. Also tactical FPS games like that one Rainbow 6 game I'm excited for.



3DS Friend Code: 0645 - 5827 - 5788
WayForward Kickstarter is best kickstarter: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1236620800/shantae-half-genie-hero

Number 6 is not something I want on Wii U, or 3DS, or anything.

I'd rather they let Metroid sit in stasis for eight years than get Other M 2.



This may be too soon but I really want to see the next Mario Kart. Mostly for the idea of a HD MK!



Around the Network

Two games that would be awesome on Wii U, but most people probably didn't even think about:

1. Endless Ocean 3.

Picture it. HD graphics and boosted graphical power allow them to take the incredible visuals of EO2, and kick them up a few notches. Touchscreen enables the player to physically interact with creatures by touching, rather than the relatively crude point-and-click. Moveable second screen, in addition to being a first-person viewport, also serves as a camera, allowing the player to get the feel of actually taking photographs.

Microphone becomes highly useful when exploring an ocean online with other people. Players would be able to put the HUD on either one of the screens, thereby allowing the other screen to be completely unsullied. Indeed, if the Nintendo Network is robust enough, there could even be online "maps" available that you can access and explore, as ongoing content addition. I'd also like to see the ability to explore more fully-featured islands, and thus expand the game beyond just ocean and beach life.

There could also be the ability to download a large aquarium (that you can swim in) to your 3DS, and then view it in 3D with various life that you put there.


2. The Grinder

You remember that High Voltage Software game that was meant to come out late last year? Where'd it go? I have a theory - the Wii version was an FPS title, while the 360/PS3 version was a top-down experience... what if they moved both types to the Wii U? With an improved version of the Quantum3 engine specifically tailored to the Wii U, it would be quite a title, potentially even including both gameplay styles within the story. The FPS would play out on the TV screen with Wiimotes, and you could have four players in that mode. Simultaneously, another player (or two, even) could be playing the top-down experience on the Upad (my name for the new controller), with all six players playing simultaneously on the same map.

Even when only playing the FPS mode, the top-down view would be convenient to see what's going on, while you could play either mode purely through the Upad (with wiimote for FPS) if the TV is in use. You could even play six-player FPS mode, with those using the Upad playing in dual analog style, with accelerometer functionality being useful for quicker aiming if the player desires. It would also be possible to play the top-down style with wiimotes. So you'd have an incredible range of play styles available. And I haven't even mentioned possible modes where the Upad player controls the vampires, etc, in a more RTS-type style.

And then there's potential online functionality to add in, which can play in so many different ways, including the option to use the Upad for video chat and strategy discussion during play, both for co-op and for team deathmatch (and regular deathmatch, but strategy discussion wouldn't make sense, there). You could also have an item that you can use that places a remote camera that you can view using the Upad (but would also be able to be shot or otherwise destroyed by foes).

There's just so much you could do with it, in my opinion, and it would be great if it were announced for the Wii U at E3.



i can't agree more with number 1, but here's my wish list :

1- zelda with massive open world
2- new 3d mario with open world just like mario 64
3- eternal darkness 2
4- new ip from monolith software
5- new ip from retro studio
6- metroid other m with better story and open world
7- fatal frame 5
8- and of course battalion wars 3




*Cracks knuckles* It's time for me to shine.

Here's my very own top 6:

- Super Mario
- The Legend of Zelda
- Metroid
- Star Fox
- F-Zero
- Super Smash Bros



Some games I would want:

- Baten Kaitos 3 (with the gameplay mechanics of the first one)
- A new Zelda with a huge world that is almost completely accessible from the beginning (without stupid barriers that you can only cross after a certain point in time)
- An awesome 2D Super Mario
