| Yerm said: When people talk about the Wii U and how much it lost out on, most people jump directly to Zelda. Its the first nintendo console not to have a dedicated Zelda game. But there are actually a lot more reasons to be upset over the Wii U's soon-to-be death than that. personally Im not the biggest Zelda fan, though i do enjoy the games i have played, i just dont want people thinking thats the only thing Wii U ownders didnt get. so now Im going to list ever way the Wii U did not live up to its potential. 1. No 3D mario platofrmer. We got 3D World but that was an experimental type mario game that mixed elements of 2D and 3D gameplay. it didnt count and don tell me it did. it was not Sunshine 2, it was not Galaxy 3, it was something nobody wanted. 2. No real Mario Party. Mario Party 10 is the definitive worst Mario Party game we ever got. it reused sound effects, graphics, and models from a few of the last party games they had worked on. not to mention people really didnt like the car mechanics and it seems like now we are doomed to keep it. lets just get these out of the way- 3. no Metroid at all... 4. the worst Animal Crossing ever... 5. no real pokemon title either... 6. also no real kirby 7. Virtual Console is abysmal, you can get like what, not even 100 titles from each platform? i think GBA and DS line just hit 10 or 20 games. 8. on the bottom of the gamepad you will see an accessory port. no accessories were ever fully developed for it. it just exists. the Gamepad just has a useless port built into it. there were ideas for gamepad attachments, but most were scrapped very early on. 9. on the top of the gamepad there is wha I believe to be an infared sensor a lot like what the 3DS has. also never used. and dont tell me its to use with the sensor bar because i have been able to use motion controls on the gamepad without having the censor bar even plugged in. 10. the Wii U can support up to 8 players and to my knowledge only 2 games actually utilize that feature, correct me if im wrong. those are all the things i wanted to mention. now let me clarify this- this is not specifically a list of things Nintendo should have done, and I am saying anything about the hardware or specs. i focused on potential- things the console could have done in its current state, but didnt. |
First things first the Wii U is getting Zelda and it also got 2 HD remakes and probably the best spinoff the series ever got.
1-3D World is a 3D plat. and is more of a real Mario than Sunshine.
2-MP10 is a MP game just because it has a different formula doesn't make any less of a MP game.
3-While yes Wii U didn't get a new Metroid game but neither did the N64 and the 3DS is only getting a spinoff and while not new we did get a VC release of the Prime trilogy
4-I don't know what you're talking about the Wii U didn'd get AC, it did however get apretty bad spinoff,witch I wouldn't be suprise if it was only made after Nintendo quietly moved ACU to NX(note that I'm not saying that it was but you can't say that it didn't happened)
5-Every Nintendo hc has gotten a Pokémon spinoff and if the Wii U but after XY a Pokémon Stadium type game wasn't needed and the GC games if a new one then people would be complaining that we got a watered down Pokémon game,at least Pokkén a different spinoff
6-The GC also only got a spinoff and the DS only had 1 actual new Kirby game and the DS sold 150m+.
7-this is the only point I agree Nintendo should have done more with the VC both with there own games and with 3rd parties but at least we got MP Trilogy,Earthbound and EB and we might get M3.
8/9- I don't really understand why the Wii U not get accessories a bad thing
10- Unless it's 8 players online most Wii U games wouldn't have benefit from it the system handling 8 players,the games that used it have all players in 1 screen so I don't know what games could have used this.
