Wii U Games 2015

Need gaf advice: My platformer itch has surfaced this past week or so, and as I have already played DK:TF, 3D World, Rayman Legends, and Captain Toad (well, it's kind of a platformer), I was thinking about grabbing New Super Mario Bros U.

I remember playing New Super Mario Bros. 2 3DS last year and really not enjoying it, mainly to it having no new interesting ideas, no inventive level design, etc. I know that these games are supposed to be throwbacks, but I was expecting a bit more.

I'm obviously not expecting it to be revolutionary, but is the level design at least a little inventive/original in New Super Mario Bros U?

Damnit, play Scram Kitty already!

Could this be related to this remake/remaster that has been doing the rounds on the net?

No.
 
So I just got done interviewing the head of Straight Right and Tantalus Games and he has confirmed they are working on AAA WII U Game port, biggest project yet in his words. Also, they are apparently porting a WIi U game to the PS4, Xbox One and PC which is also notable. More information is coming later on in the year.

Yes I love Mass Effect 3 and Deus ex WiiU

Plz let it be the new Deus Ex game I would freak out lol
And Arkham Knight would also make since for WiiU, since Arkham city and Origins is on the system

WB makes good money on WiiU with the Lego games
Dont expect a EA or Ubisoft game

and Deus Ex HR DC WiiU [prt going to PS4/Xbox one makes since, The PC version wasnt done by Straight right and wasnt that great, WiiU version was the best version, and with the new Deus ex coming out they prob would want the PS4 and Xbone people to get reminded of the game
 
Interesting comments from StraightRight/Tantalus.

For the PS4/xbone/PC port FROM a Wii U game, my money's on Funky Barn actually. It'd likely be very easy for them to crap out a digital port to try to squeeze a few bucks out of it. He didn't specify that it was from a major publisher or anything.

The Wii U game is anybody's guess. He didn't confirm that it's Tantalus (not Straight Right) so who knows. "Huge, biggest thing they've ever done" doesn't really seem to imply Minecraft, unless he strictly meant it's a huge IP, moreso than a huge game in terms of the scope of the project.

If we don't assume it's Tantalus, something like CoD BO3 (or whatever) makes some degree of sense. At least we know there's an (albeit small) audience for that game on Wii U. Probably not I guess. But not sure what else it would be. Didn't specify whether it was a late port, or an upcoming port. We'll see. More info "soon".

Biggest mistake you can make: thinking it's a new game that's not already out. They do port jobs AFTER a game is done because that'd make it a lot easier. Assume it's an old(er) game.
 
When they first teased a project for Wii U. I thought that would be Final Fantasy XIII port to Wii U, and it ended up been Deus EX, which is a great game.
Now it is hard to guess, I believe that it would be something from the PS3 / X360, because they have been working on this game for quite a while. Some
Atlus stuff would be great, but it is unlikely, maybe a Lara Croft game.
 
Now now, DK TF is good, but it's certainly not the best platformer ever made, unlike Super Mario 3D World.


eh, 3D World is good. It didn't blow me away with any of the level design and it was way too easy until the bonus levels.

Tropical Freeze is next level[/QUOTE]

Tropical Freeze is... the GOAT 2D platformer. 3D World is real good, but it isn't on the same level.
 
So apart from Affordable Space Adventures, what other Eshop games are coming? I can think of plenty for the X1 and PS4, but it seems a bit barren on the Wii U front, especially in regards to exclusives. We need another Direct so they can show off another indie reel.

Now there's a bunch of random games missing. A lot of those listed are kickstarter games so they're known to take forever to release, let alone get ported to all their stretch goal platforms and some have been MIA for a while or had far out 2016 dates anyway. Even with that in mind, there you have a sizable list of games lined up for release on the Wii U eShop at some point in time.
 
Really good list. I mean really good! I'd add to that that Tadpole Treble, Popup Dungeon and Nefarious -- all of which are definitely worth looking into, and all of which are at the moment as exclusive to the system as, say, Hex Heroes is. Also Knite and the Ghost Lights and The Girl and the Robot are both planning Wii U releases, although I'll admit I don't know much about those projects.

Also of note: Cosmochoria is as it stands now not coming to the Wii U, so that's one to probably take off the list.
 
Xenoblade X should release after Zelda so it has a chance to breath, who is going to buy Xenoblade when the open world Zelda is coming soon after?

(or release more than three months before, im worried they will be too close)

I hardly play the Zelda's I buy but I know I will put months into XCX so I don't see the problem
 
For me Xenoblade X is on top of Zelda U in terms of "I want to play it now!" and probably will consume more hours of my life than anything else on Wii U (although the missions in Pikmin 3 are a strong contender for that).

Xenoblade X comes out in April in Japan so no way its coming after Zelda in the west, it should come out at least 3 months before Zelda in Aug or Sept, and Zelda in Nov

Some more that seem interesting are Mekazoo, The Rivers of Alice and Canvaleon.
 
Four Sided Fantasy just announced, Aperion Cyberstorm (exclusive) announced earlier, too. The game announcements keep on coming.
 
Never Alone has been announced too. (sorry if this is already known)

Nice list!

Jumping in to say I'm one of the developers working on Aperion Cyberstorm, so if anyone has questions don't hesitate to ask. :)

Woo, cool! I'll use this chance to ask: So there's a campaign mode that you can play solo AND co-op? And the 5-player is for everything or just the Versus mode?

Campaign (and Challenge) can be played solo or with friends. And all modes support 5 players. :)
 
6180 the moon is a puzzle-platformer in which players control the Moon as it sets off to find the missing Sun.
^this is one of the Wii U games. I might be biased but that will totally be my GOTF. Finally a game where I can play as myself.

Awesome. Can't think of anything else to ask right now. :D

Except maybe: will it support online mp?

Local mp only. For Cyberstorm 60 fps and responsive controls are the goal - it can get pretty hectic! :)

Sounds great! I wonder how the Runbow guys are doing it. Hopefully the performance doesn't suffer there. Maybe having no enemies helps them there with online.
 
Any interest in starting a #RockBand4WiiU campaign? Considering it's actually Harmonix themselves as opposed to EA, perhaps Nintendo can actually work with them this time?

I support the hashtag, but Nintendo doesn't generally give money willy-nilly. It'll be up to us alone to convince HMX.

Not to mention I have my doubts over the RB2 DLC transferring just because it's on the Wii's dated architecture, but maybe there would be luck after all.

Wii U?

Daniel: The Wii U is a really hard call for us, but from our initial research the audience is not there yet, and I would be really psyched for there to be this public outcry of “Where is the Wii U? I will absolutely throw money at you and I wanna buy it and preorder it!” and all that. And then we start working on it.

Nick Chester: We’re seeing all these people flock, especially towards PS4, and people are abandoning their Wiis, and using their Xbox 360s as… We don’t have a version of it because neither of the consoles are backwards compatible.

@Exile20 - That's why I was bringing it up. The Rock Band guys themselves are pretty much asking for public outcry, so I'm curious whether it makes sense to at least let them see the interest and optimistically be proven wrong (or possibly very right).

@Harmonix I would preorder Rock Band on Wii U so fast. Is there still a possibility of us seeing it?

@Ducked_ We're listening to all the folks asking for it.
 
Why would you need one?

Everybody here have said one should get the Nintendo WiFi dongle or at least a third party one, and that's obvious, as you'll have a much better connection.
Look at my PS4, I had around 30mbps / 3mbps, and when I connected through ethernet, it jumped to around 63 / 63.

That's why I want a WiFi dongle. It improves your online connection.

Isn't that an ethernet dongle? Or are you trying to get DOUBLE Wifi or something?

You're buying an ethernet adapter/dongle. Not a WiFi dongle. You already have WiFi, you want a wired/ethernet connection.

This is what you want: http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb...ds=wii+lan+adapter&rh=i:aps,k:wii+lan+adapter
