Forums - Nintendo - Which currently released games will benefit from a Wii U resurgance?

NSBMU will continue to sell proportionately to U HW sales.



Around the Network

Nintendo First Party, Lego City, W101



ALL of them!



Maybe Zombi U. The demo was a little TOO scary for me but if the Wii U does well, maybe it will live again.

Because that game does not look like something I want to play, even though I am sure it is fun. Just like I do not care for Final Fantasy even though I know it is usually a top notch game! ^

@ Typo

Yes, word of mouth.

you, get the game. If you don't like it, I will send you a refund!
With this game you will feel like a true gamer. People have been approaching this game the wrong way.

Go get it.

I hope the Wonderful 101 keeps selling as more people buy the system. I really do not understand why you wouldn't get the game if you own a Wii U.


Because they released a demo for the game, which I downloaded and played. It was fun and unique but not amazing. Not something I'd pay $60 for. If they drop the price to $40 or below I'd consider getting it at some point. Just like I'd consider getting Game and Wario if they dropped the price of that to $20. Unfortunately for W101 it was released at the wrong time...it should have released during the drought of the first half of the year along with Rayman Legends. Neither of those games really stood much of a chance when they're released between Pikmin 3 and Wind Waker HD. I DID buy Rayman Legends though, because I LOVED that demo and knew it would be a top notch game. 

To the OP, Lego City Undercover, Pikmin 3, Rayman Legends (especially if they eventually just leave the price at $40 or below like some retailers have already been doing), and maybe even W101 would all benefit and continue to sell slowly but steadily. 

Get the game, at least for this one time. Buy it to see if you like it, like an old school gamer. 

You won't regret it, seriously. The demo? it is just not 1/10 of what the game really is. I have to play one mission per day in order to be focused on the gameplay. More than that, I will start to die because I am not too careful enough. Action packaged from the beginning to the end. 

Go get it, and do yourself a favor. I have been gaming since 1989, and I haven't seen a game like this in the last decade. 



For sure, ZombiU, Lego City and Pikmin 3. All those games have good word-of-mouth among WiiU owners and Miiverse

Wonderful 101 and Rayman Legends may or may not benefit from it. They´re great games, but the first is a new franchise and the second had some controversy so people may well skip them in favor of the previous three.

Well, I have a Wii U and haven't gotten Wonderful 101. While the reviews aren't bad, I think they're the worst of the, like, core games that have come out this year, and there's a lot of other games I want to buy and it just hasn't made the cut yet. It's near the top of my GameFly queue, so if I get it and play it and adore it I'll pick it up, but right now I'm just not convinced by the gameplay I've seen.

Games are expensive - if I buy a game I like to be convinced I'm really getting a return on my investment. That it will have tons of replayability, that I'll still be pulling it out a year or two from now. With a game like Wind Waker HD or Super Mario 3D World (or even some more random titles I have like Tekken Tag Tournament 2 which is good when friends are over) I know I will. With Wonderful 101? I dunno. 

Frankly, I've got that problem with Pikmin 3, which I also haven't got yet. I'm sure it's fantastic, but I'm also sure that I'll play through it once and probably not want to play it anymore. Thus, it's at the top of my GameFly queue, but not my shopping list. 



There's an absolute shitload of replay value for The Wonderful 101. Loads of secret levels, hidden items and there's absolutely no chance in hell that anyone is going to get Pure Platinum awards for every part of every level of the game the first time they play it, even on Very Easy difficulty lol.

This game is definitely the best action game I've ever played in my 37 years of gaming. Right from the start it's spectacular, every end of level boss is bigger and more spectacular than the END GAME BOSS of any other game. It starts off spectacular and gets more spectacular the further you get in the game.

It's number 2 in my top 5 games of all-time list, and I've played A LOT of games in my nearly 42 years of life.

It's got some mixed reviews because it was probably too much for reviewers to learn the deep combat mechanics, they just didn't want to or maybe didn't have enough time to put the effort in that you need to learn how to get decent awards for each level. It's simply too difficult a game for them to play - there's no hand-holding and the game uses a unique control scheme that nobody has ever seen.

If you consider yourself a 'hardcore' gamer you owe it to yourself to experience this masterpiece. We probably won't see a better action game until a sequel appears.



Pikmin 3, Zombi U, Rayman Legends, NSMBU, Lego City and HOPEFULLY W101
