Is ZombiU Wii U's killer app?

"Killer app" might be a bit sensational, but I definitely think that it will do very well in both its sales and for WiiU itself. It seems to be the one game that a lot of non-Nintendo loyalists are clamoring about, especially with the recent upset of Resident Evil 6 abandoning survival horror.

The fact that zombies and survival horror are "in" right now (most notably with the huge success of The Walking Dead TV show) doesn't hurt, either.

Both GREAT points. The decline of Resident Evil might be one of the best things to happen to ZombiU and, by extension, Wii U. And the popularity of media like The Walking Dead will only help. It's the number one show on TV among adults 18-49 (excluding sports). Maybe Nintendo should buy some ad time on AMC during The Walking Dead.

Indeed.  They advertised the heck out of RE6 during The Walking Dead; Nintendo would be very wise to do the same with ZombiU.
