Axiom Verge will “Probably” come to the Wii U in 2016
Axiom Verge looks to be coming to the Wii U next year in 2016. According to developer Tom Happ, the Metroid styled title will “probably” come to the Wii U in 2016. However, the 3DS is unlikely due to the different hardware of the system.
“…can’t commit to anything, but Axiom Verge will *probably* be available for Wii U in 2016,” Happ said. “3DS is quite a bit more difficult since the hardware is so completely different. Should Nintendo be reading this and decide to lend me a hand, that’d be VERY appreciated!!”

Shigeru Miyamoto Details why Wii U Failed, Hoping for a “big hit” with NX
The Wii U has not sold up to Nintendo’s expectations three years into its lifespan. One of the main figures in designing the Wii U, Shigeru Miyamoto, has detailed why the system failed, in addition to saying they are hoping for a “big hit” with the Nintendo NX.
“I think unfortunately what ended up happening was that tablets themselves appeared in the marketplace and evolved very, very rapidly, and unfortunately the Wii system launched at a time where the uniqueness of those features were perhaps not as strong as they were when we had first begun developing them.
“So what I think is unique about Nintendo is we’re constantly trying to do unique and different things. Sometimes they work, and sometimes they’re not as big of a hit as we would like to hope.”
Miyamoto continued on saying the company is already hard at work on their next system, codenamed NX, which will get a reveal in 2016.
“After Wii U, we’re hoping that next time it will be a very big hit.”
Reggie Fils-Aime and Metroid Prime producer Kensuke Tanabe have already stated the NX is a home console.

Editor’s Note: I’m not Dooming the Wii U or Nintendo
I’ve seen people express a lot of concern over some of my comments recently on the Nintendo NX and Nintendo’s showing at this year’s E3. Some have accused me of dooming Nintendo, or bashing the Wii U, ect. I just want to let you guys know I’m not dooming Nintendo or the Wii U. I’m simply just stating my opinion based on what I heard and played at E3. This was my second E3 I’ve attended, and I’ve been following the event since the early 2000s.
Some of the stuff Nintendo has been doing pertaining to Wii U has been very strange, even for them. I can go into detail more on my podcast I’ll be holding this weekend wrapping up E3 2015. Just know I’m not dooming Nintendo or the Wii U. I just have my own thoughts on what Nintendo will do next based on what I’ve seen, nothing more, nothing less.
As a side note, I’m doing my best to moderate the site. However, between making E3 videos, taking care of my family and posting on the site, I have little time to read through every single thing. I’ll do my best to keep up though. Thanks for reading the site and understanding the situation.
