It wasn't the games totally that failed Wii U. Most people put blame mainly on marketing and confusion over system name. In ten years these games will be known as gems. That's when I'll cash out... Hell who am I kidding give me 20 years if I'm still alive. Lack of 3rd party support didn't help. But who are we kidding? Fuck third party |
Wii U actually had okayish 3D party support... because it launched so far behinde the XB360 + PS3, that it was able to play those games.
There was some multiplats ported to the Wii U (from that gen).
Imo..... the games kinda did fail the Wii U.
Their 3D mario wasnt nearly as good as Mario Galaxy / 64... or Mario Oddesey.
Their 2D mario wasnt as good as the first New Super Mario Bro's (wii)
Their Zelda, game came when it was too late, though fantastic.
Paper Mario - Colour Splash was a joke....... Nintendo havnt treated Paper Mario IP well.
StarFox Zero (remake of the first game).... kinda poorly done too, with the whole cockpit vision thingy.
Animal Crossing - Amiibo festival.... again kinda a joke poor taste, on their IP.
What Nintendo did right/well on the Wii U was mostly just:
Donkey Kong Country - Tropical Freeze
Splatoon
Mario Kart 8
It wasnt just bad marketing, or the hardware being poorly designed or such... (price vs performance).
They had game issues, and droughts that ran for years.
The Wii U had 1st party games issues.
Honorable mentions (great games for the Wii U):
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Tokyo Mirage Sessons #FE
Bayonetta 1 & 2
Captain Toad Treassure tracker
Rayman Legends
Yoshi's Wolly World
Citizens of Earth
