Nintendo NX: 9 New Rumours You Need To Know

9. It's Launching With Four Wii U Remasters

One of the biggest shames regarding the Wii U's commercial failure is the amount of great games that most people haven't been able to play. The system may not have sold well, but on the whole Nintendo's usual standard has been upheld and then some, creating plenty of amazing, unique and fun gaming experiences.

Nintendo is obviously aware of the sales potential of some of these games (not to mention their longevity), and so it's rumoured that four games from the Wii U's library are set not just to be ported to the NX, but to launch alongside the console. These games are Super Smash Bros. Wii U, Super Mario Maker, Splatoon and The Legend Of Zelda Wii U.

It makes sense – Smash Bros games are a very rare thing, and with the latest entry having just released in 2014, it would be a disaster to kill it off so soon. Then there's Mario Maker, which has a huge online community and is almost guaranteed to start experimenting with DLC. The same goes for Splatoon, which has developed into one of the Big N's most popular modern franchises. And to drop Zelda Wii U exclusively on a console that's flame is fading...well, few things would be more of a disaster.
