No shit?
Can't believe Metroid skipped a major console.

There's still a bunch of kickstarters with Wii U stretch goals that are gonna release guys. They'll definitely see those releases through, they promised!

Nah. I bet we'll get Just Dance 2018 on Wii U.
I was curious if this was true. For GCN and Wii U you're absolutely right. For some reason I thought there were more GCN games after Wii released but evidently not. But with Wii, they definitely released some notable games after Skyward Sword:

The Last Story Mistwalker, AQ Interactive Nintendo, Xseed GamesNA
Just a rough list from Wiki. Of course, of these, only MP9 and Kirby's Dream Collection released in Japan after Zelda. So the list is mostly games that got localized after Zelda but had already been released in Japan. But I think both count as notable releases, especially MP9 as a brand new game.

Goodnight Sweet Prince.
Besides the N64 mentions, I just want to mention that Nintendo Land features an extensive, fully featured Metroid Blast co-op attraction with 30 stages each with their own challenge condition. Like most of the rest of Nintendo Land, it's a love letter to the franchise in question.

I dont get it, whats creating the thumps? Why is the comic showing Gamecubes face in white like that? Whats it trying to say happened?

I didn't count any games like Xenoblade or The Last Story because they were already released elsewhere. As for Fortune Street and Mario Party 9, I forgot those existed
In my defense, I did say notable

Even the original Wii will probably get that too
Since this is Nintendo, it's probably on the backburner until it mysteriously reappears after 5 years in a somewhat different form while keeping to some of the same fundamentals. There was, what, seven years between the time Steel Diver was first demonstrated as a DS tech demo to its release on the 3DS? It'll be like that.

It already skipped the N64 but don't worry. Now watch how they skip two in succession!
I mentioned that in the OP. Miyamoto said they have not decided to turn it into a full game (back in March 2016). Maybe we'll see it as smaller title or part of another game some day. Switch could definitely handle the control scheme of it.

I don't see what's so hard to get. The thumps obviously represents the GCN's heart rate, which slows down as he dies and goes into heaven. The comic is obviously a metaphor on the Gamecube dying off with the arrival of the Wii.

Is it worth hoping for more digital Wii games on the eShop? Give me Pikmin 2 damn it.
Yeah perhaps the project definitely got on stand by mode and it will appear for the Switch once the console has stablished and gained a healthy user base in a few years. Now that I think about it, this project robot game could work even better on the Switch thanks to the HD rumble and improved motion controls on the Joy-Cons since you can move each one independently.

Rockefellers. Skull and Bones. Microsoft. Al Qaeda. A Cabal of Bankers. The melting point of steel. What do these things have in common? Wake up sheeple, the landfill wasn't even REAL!
In all considerations I feel like Wii U has had worst support than Vita.

there goes hopes of crossgen Pikmin 4

Oh, I wasn't trying to correct you, I was just curious for nerdy reasons if it was accurate.
I do think Mario Party 9 counts as notable, though, and maybe Dream Collection also though that one's murkier as a collection.
Really? Sony straight up stopped releasing software from themselves for it after 3-ish years. It didn't get the dignity of stopping on a major release comparable to Zelda, either.
Seriously, Wii U reminds me of Van Gogh. An underrated artist that created lot's of masterpieces on his lifetime that literally nobody gave a damn about it until he died on his early 40s...

In all considerations? Would that include first-party support?
Why do people on the Internet speak only in hyperbole? So tired of it.

But they put a lot of effort in bringing indies and other minor games to the console.
Vita has a lot more games than the Wii U.

Wii U has a great catalogue of games, and I'll be hanging omtoine for a bit while I wrap those up, but I'm pleased they're putting their focus on the new console.

I think until pay wall, would explain this weird 'free period' for a few months..
Those games are completely different.

Expected.
To tell the truth, I am surprised that they New Zelda will be released. I was considering the option that they would cancel the Wii U version or the game be available only on e-shop and 20 retails copies exclusive to some store.

Thought as much. I called this a while ago but that's not that impressive because I'm pretty sure everyone called it. All-in on the Switch from here on out.
Also, watch them close down the Wii U online servers late 2017/early 2018 to try and make more people buy the Switch. Some of the people who play MK/Splatoon on the Wii U probably won't see the point in getting the Switch because of the similar games being released but with paid online so I can see them shutting the servers down to force them to upgrade.
Same. I thought that the Wii U version would have been canned, but I guess not.

I think the wait on when the paywall comes to switch is for Mario kart and splatoon also Mario maker. Maker has a good presence in twitch and it's really fun to watch. They can't just stop all that fun and streaming that goes on. When the switch has got a few months behind it and Mario kart and spaltoon have "switched" over that's when the server comes down for the old games and there will be enough streamers and players who have gotten the switch that no one will notice really.

We got it in Europe, theres still hope.
That still makes your comment about Wii U support being worse "in all considerations" patently false.

"in all considerations" because I consider ALL the games, not only first party.

Fantastic. Now all Nintendo has to do is port all the Wii U titles on the Switch and we're good.
It seems though that with the Wii U's demise games from them are being ported to the 3DS with limitations ie) Poochi and Yoshi's Wooley World and Super Mario Maker.
Switch is porting Mario Kart 8 with its deluxe version and most likely a complete Super Smash Bros version.
