Caveat being the only consoles that can play it are either impossible to find or at the very end of its lifecycle.
- wickawic 10y agoHow does that affect the quality of the game?
- r00fus 10y agoAvailability is an issue - I can't get the game. Nintendo needs to improve this - I wanted the Wii back in 2006/2007 and finally gave up trying to get one retail, and never bought the console. I'm not a serious gamer, I game casually when I do, but that's a lost sale.
- arielweisberg 10y agoWe are well on our way into 2017 and you still can't find the NES classic. I wish Nintendo were a bit more Apple in that respect.
- 086421357909764 10y agoThey're notorious for spiking demand by creating limited availability. They do it with their amiibo launches all the time. It's kinda sad really. They claim more classics are on the way though after the switch is stocked regularly.
- stormbrew 10y agoPast the end of lifecycle, I think. It's quite difficult to find WiiUs as well, at least from an actual store.
- endemic 10y ago> at the very end of its lifecycle This might not be a bad thing. Plenty of quality software already released that you can obtain cheaply. I skipped the Wii U, but am going to pick one up so that I can actually play Zelda, as well as explore the other games I missed.
- jghn 10y agoI bought the Wii U primarily for this game, back before all the delays happened. Things worked out magically for me, just a couple of years after the fact :)
- cmrdporcupine 10y agoIt's not a bad little machine for a few games. You could keep yourself busy and totally immersed in Legend of Zelda just playing BoTW, the HD re-issue of Wind Waker (_highly_ recommended), the re-issue of Twilight Princess, the Wii copy of Skyward Sword (weakest of the bunch imho, but there) and Minish Cap in virtual console. Worth the buy just to play those. Same goes for Mario. Super Mario Wii U is great. Super Mario 3d World is great. Super Mario Galaxy series for Wii runs great on it. And Mario Maker! Hours of fun. I hear great things about Spatoon. The Pikmin games are great. But my kids mainly use it for Minecraft and Mario Maker. A highly underrated system, imho. Nintendo released some great titles for it.
- mercer 10y agoHow can you leave out Metroid Prime Trilogy! The first installment is probably the first in a list of less than fives games that I've finished multiple times. Other than that I agree with what you said.
- cmrdporcupine 10y agoSure, but Metroid Prime is a GC series that they haven't updated :-( To play it these days you're actually just better off playing it in Dolphin, which I recently did. It looks great you can even get texture packs to upgrade it.
- mercer 10y agoTrue, I'm really hoping we'll get a new Metroid game on Switch. That said, for many people the control scheme of the original put them off, so being able to play it using the (easier) Wii controls, higher resolution, and getting the whole trilogy for about 20 bucks is a pretty nice plus of having a WiiU. Unless you hate these types of backtracking games, of course :).
