Nintendo Life Weekly: New Game in Development for Wii U, Super Mario Maker in Real Life, and More

yeah well I sure hope there is more than one game still being produced for the Wii U...

It's rather sad when a new Wii U game being in development or ported makes top headlines.

@Alex_Olney for some reason the link for the video of the week keeps sending me to 5 gaming series that ain't what they used to be

@FragRed I was just thinking the same thing. What makes it even sadder is that game is likey to be a port of a 6 year old game.

Again with the Darksiders image? I'd love for Nordic Games to be working on a port of the original or even a sequel but we're probably setting ourselves up for a fall.

I know the Wii U's been in a rut for a while, but the fact that 'a Wii U game is in development' is the big weekly news... it really hits home at how bad the situation is.
I must admit that the Wii U has been a bit of a let down for me, but I have enjoyed it way more than my Xbox One. I just think the home consoles this generation haven't been able to hit the highs that we've had before...

"Now available on iTunes". LOL. I'd buy it. The bloopers are always the best part.

@Varathius Yooka Lay-lee likely physical 2017
Bloodstained 2017
Mighty no 9 physical
Terraria (this month)physical
Skylanders imaginarium (Minecraft) 2016
Color splash ()
Project Giant Robot
Lost reavers (out now)

don't forget the 5 year anniversary sale (which feels like a steam sale.)

@HSuzumiyaVI Lost Reavers is crap, that game is literal garbage and that sale you mention is comprised of games most people who own a wii u probably already have and not to mention the sale prices aren't exactly steam-sale quality.

His point was that there isn't any major wii u titles in development which is correct. Zelda is pretty much it. Project Giant Robot was probably incorporated into Star Fox like
Guard was (there's an article on this back when Star Fox was teased), the rest is just physical releases of eshop titles. Wii U isn't getting anything remotely close to a new Mario, Metroid, or F-zero.

@JpGamerGuy90 really? star fox zero, ok, then explain this

thankfully Nordic games has their wii U game to fill in some slots.
but I bet the Yooka Laylee delay was not what Nintendo wanted for Wii U.

@HSuzumiyaVI

A lot of video game dispensing companies put placeholders for games that were announced. That doesn't guarantee that there is a game releasing someday.

@Zach777 It's first and foremost Nintendo's responsibility to look after their own console. Not abandon it and hope small indie developers with average games will plug the gigantic holes. Yooka-Laylee, Rive, SteamWorld Heist and whatever others not withstanding.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE

Are you responding to something I said? What does your response have to do with anything I said?

@SLIGEACH_EIRE "average games"

At least one of the games you've just listed is much better than average....

@Zach777 Sorry I meant to quote @HSuzumiyaVI

@buildz I said average games except the ones I named.

Darksiders 1 was amazing.
One of few titles where playing as a hulking meathead was actually alot of fun.
The intro was better than all of 2, the art was new and inspired, and the ending sequence was fantastic.
I enjoyed it so much so, that when my 360 died, it was one of the first 5 games I purchased for my PS3.
Very much like Zelda x God of War, and a game that made me want 2 or 3 sequels.
It would be great to see them up the resolution to a full 1080p, with better surround support and an increased frame rate. Maybe even some new art for the gallery and a digital comic too?
Not the best game ever made, but it's not often you find a Zelda imitator that does so much, so well.

@NodesforNoids until Zelda goes back to its NES roots, much like Dark Souls and Breath of the wild, incidentally, the art style is actually a refined Nes and Snes Zelda art look. and that's what makes this game invigorating.

sorry, I digressed into the majesty of Breath of the wild.
