Wii U is my favourite home console of all time, because it's my only home console if I forget about NES clones in 90's.
Joking aside, I really enjoyed some exclusive games, like Splatoon (more than 300 hours), Mario Kart 8 (nearly 200 h) or Xenoblade Chronicles X (100 h or something like that). Also had a blast with Pikmin 3, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess or ports, like Deus Ex or Axiom Verge. Despite I am type of player who don't need many games, it had too few games to be my only game system, but I already owned 3DS, so...
I am, however, eternally grateful for throwing first Xenoblade Chronicles to Virtual Console and allowing to play it without Wii controlers (which I did not have at the time). It's probably the best game I have played in all my life and, despite it's not Wii U ex, I had a chance to know it because of this maybe poorly-selling, dramatically inaccurately advertised, but eventually really nice console.
I don't say "no" for ports, but I want next Mario Kart, Splatoon or Smash games on Switch. I played this games on Wii U a lot, so probably I won't be picking enhanced versions.
They killed Club Nintendo to quickly. Should have launched My Nintendo alongside NX. However, without points for physical games, this programme doesn't make sense for me.
Pokemon Sun and Moon and... something. I'll probably play new Shantae (but maybe on Vita), Stardew Valley and Color Splash, maybe Rhythm Paradise Megamix, but I'm waiting for these RPGs from Atlus, which have not appeared in Europe yet: 7th Dragon III Code: VFD and SMT IV: Apocalypse. However, we don't know if they are scheduled for this year or next. Atlus, announce release dates, please.
Played some of this games: Pikmin 3, both SteamWorld titles (on 3DS) and Fast Racing NEO. All are different, but all fantastic. Wating for DLC to last of this games. Would buy this indie ones, but I'm saving money for other titles. Don't know why i write this, becasue no one from these studios will read this, but "sorry Image&Form and Shin'en, not this time".
I might get this Super Mario 3D World and/or Captain Toad, cause, don't know why, but I didn't give them a chance to date, but both are probably superb games.
I don't understand this hate towards Ubisoft. They ported some of their games to Wii U, created Rayman Legends for this console. Yes, they ported it to other platforms, but only when they realized that game isn't selling well. Yeah, maybe they planned to do this anyway, but Rayman was Wii U exclusive for a few months.
Some of you must understand, that this is company and it must make profit. They don't want to waste their resources on creating games for dead console, right? Logical for me.
Pretty obvious article. And first half is something that, I think, everybody knows, but I assume that this is kind of opening and without it this article would be kind of out of context.
But, yeah, Nintendo has place in the market that isn't the same place as Sony's and Microsoft's and I'm fine with this. I bought Vita nearly 2 months ago (my first non-Nintendo console, but I was a PC gamer for nearly a decade) and... that's not it. Yes, I enjoyed Persona 4 Golden, but when I think about upcoming games, I have Breath of the Wild, Monster Hunter 5, Xenoblade 3 or Mario Kart 9 on my mind, not Sony exclusives or multiplatorms.
And, despite having considerable amount of time for playing games, I haven't played many interesting titles on 3DS and Wii U yet. I consider that, in times like these, when one can enjoy games on so many platforms, we must ignore part of the business. It's impossible to play all the games that we want to play. Sometimes I think about my backlog instead of just playing games. That's... strange.
I would love to buy this books, but, eh, prices of books in English in my country are far to high... But I hope that Kickstarter campaign will be successfull and maybe I'll get this Zelda one, love this series.
I think that game will be getting updates from time to time, that's all. And I suppose I'm done with this game too. Got 50 lvl, been in S, played nearly 300 hours. It's my Wii U all-time game. I hope... no, I'm certain that they're making sequel or some other game in this universe. It was too successfull to be buried like F-Zero or something.
I'm hyped like no one ever was. Especially love Alola forms, they gives new life to Pokemon that have been forgotten, like Marowak. And new style of collecting badges, this series needed to change the formula.

And I'll buy Moon, cause friend takes Sun.
