How many games can you name that you want to play and are Wii U exclusive? Bayonetta 2 is on Switch now and I can't think of any other Wii U games at all

The only game I would plug my Wii U back in to play is Wind Waker HD, and hopefully that'll get ported to Switch someday so I won't have to :v:

There is all of one notable WiiU game unported to the switch still and the actual system is bad and will make you go "why am I not playing the switch, the system which solves all of this systems obvious faults?"

yeah, there's lots of switch ports that are lesser for that reason. pikmin 3 and wonderful 101 are also games that are much better on wii u

For exclusives still, there is Wind Waker HD, Twilight Princess HD, and Xenoblade X. All of these are really good games. There are also a bunch of SNES, and Nintendo 64 games you can buy on the system still. There is also the Metroid Prime trilogy if you don't already have a Wii.

it's probably a better moment to moment game just to play even though the story and dialogue are garbage

it's an extremely good emulation box for just about every nintendo system released before it except for like a third of the n64. also xenoblade x and fatal frame are cool games, as are star fox zero and kirby rainbow curse if the controls click for you. also the hd gc zeldas have yet to be freed

I have decided to sleep on it.

Hopefully someone else will buy it before tomorrow.

The list of games I would potentially want to play on the Wii U: Xenoblade X, Windwaker HD, Bayonetta 2 maybe unless the Switch port is much better.

Games I'm curious about and would probably check out: Wonderful 101, The werewolf Zelda

Look into Star Fox Guard (not Zero!) and Affordable Space Adventures if you ever pull the trigger.

You should! It's a very fun game. Though it's definitely a note taking game, you absolutely need to keep track of all the hints you've found to solve puzzles.

The true value of the Wii U, aside from Nintendo Land, Paper Mario Color Splash, and Bowser Party mode in Mario Party 10, is that it's a soft mod away from being able to play nearly every previous nintendo console, either by native hardware in the case of the gamecube and wii, or by emulation / Virtual Console for everything else.

i played two first person shooters yesterday. one was titanfall 2 for ps4, which is extremely good, constantly thrilling and the pace never drags. best feeling player movement since quake and the addition of double-jumps and mantling makes the half-life style jumping puzzles far more palatable. at first i was kind of rolling my eyes at how they gave the titan a personality but i'm starting to get kind of attached to it

the other was ice nine for game boy advance, which is extremely bad but fascinating all the same. it was originally going to be a licensed game based on the al pacino/colin farrell film "the recruit," but they ended up canceling the tie-in and the rebranded game wasn't released until 2005. i think it's the most ambitious of all the ill-advised gba fps projects except maybe 007 nightfire, with jumping, stealth, vent-crawling, secret areas, scoped rifles, and grenades. you might wonder how the gba, with its limited controls and 3d capabilities, handles all this, and the answer is mostly pretty badly. the level designers wisely keep most of the action indoors because the framerate really takes a dive if you can see more than about twenty feet away

there are like seven different control schemes and they're all awkward but the default works the least badly for me: d-pad for movement and turning, shoulder buttons for strafing, a to fire, and b to jump. start opens the pause menu (which has a legit automap that marks objectives and enemies--not bad for a gba fps), select cycles through your weapons, and to holster your weapon you have to hold select and press b, which works about half the time. it also supports free look by holding down both strafe buttons simultaneously and using the d-pad. maybe this works better on a real gba but on my emulator handheld i'm constantly accidentally releasing one button or the other while trying to aim so my guy suddenly starts shuffling off to the side and my aim resets

i don't know why i'm playing all these gba fpses. none of them are good but i'm endlessly entertained by the attempts at translating a genre to a platform totally unsuited for it. i can't blame every problem with these games on the hardware though. there's lots of stuff where they just didn't bother to do the thing that would have made it look good. gba nightfire for example has a radial weapon selector that would be incomprehensible were it not for the text labels because every icon is clearly just the one from the ps2 game downscaled to like 8x8. i guess drawing new icons at the appropriate size would have taken development time away from stuff like unreasonably detailed 3d staircases

I wish there was a demo for Replicant. I loved Automata, but don't want to just assume i'll enjoy Replicant, and the demo for Automata is what sold me on the game where otherwise I would have actually never bought it.

as long as you liked things about automata that were not the basic mechanics of the game, you'll probably like replicant

Is losing Dad Nier really that bad? Like even ignoring the jank that came from the game being made around Brother Nier the story seems more interesting on a certain level if it’s a bright eyed kid given how Yoko Atari stories go.
