We continue the series of materials "What to Play in 2015", and today we will talk about the unusual game console Nintendo Wii U.
Write about the console and video games Nintendo is both very nice and at the same time somewhat dangerous. Many gamers do not take these consoles seriously, believing that the children's appearance of Nintendo games is not worthy of their attention. This is a very serious mistake, and such people voluntarily deprive themselves of a sea of joy and pleasure from the brilliant games of Shigeru Miyamoto and his comrades. Nintendo games are always bright, unusual, worked out to the smallest detail and require the player to have a huge skill for 100% passing. Personally, on my own, I very much ask you, dear readers, if possible, to get acquainted with the Nintendo Wii U console, as it will appeal not only to your children, but to yourself. I guarantee this to you. It is important only to step over your stereotypes.
Initially, the console of the Nintendo Wii U no one believed, since its hardware was much weaker than competitors in the face of Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and many gaming publishers simply turned away from it. Internal studios of Nintendo know their business and continue to stamp hits one after another. Wonderful games did their job, and only this year, Wii U sales grew by more than 200%. Mario Kart 8 blew up the charts in the first half of 2014, followed by the cultic fighting game Super Smash Bros. Wii U, which also sold a good run. What will make us happy with the Wii U in 2015? Let's figure it out together.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
Genre: Platformer / Puzzle
Exclusivity: yes
Release date in Russia: January 2
A magnificent game based on the universe of Mario, whose main character was the inquisitive adventurer Captain Toad. This cheerful mushroom with a backpack, a compass and a map goes in search of treasures in a variety of levels-puzzles, where it is waited for by a variety of dangers. In fact, this game just can not help but like it's brilliant. Each level is thought out so thinly, that the marvel is given. As developers have invested so many opportunities in a simple at first glance puzzle. The game was released on January 2 in the E-shop, and on disks it should appear very soon. At the moment I'm writing a detailed review of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, so just the other day you will be able to read it on our website.
Project CARS
Genre: Simulator
Exclusivity: also released on PS4, Xbox One and PC

One of the most beautiful and realistic car simulators in the world, finally, is ready to show us its final appearance. The game was transferred several times to bring to mind, but the players are already too long for waiting. The game will offer us a lot of game modes, which include rallies, races on maps, GT and even 24 hours of Le Mans. You can play alone or over the network with friends. The game will also include more than 60 licensed cars, more than 35 existing racing tracks, and an editor with which players can edit their cars as they want.

A rare case when Nintendo develops a team shooter from a third party for its console. Bright and funny game even before its release has acquired an army of fans. Colored characters who shoot each other with paint, along the way, repainting the surrounding world. Each of the players at any time can turn into an octopus and dive into the paint color of their team. This opens up infinite possibilities in terms of strategy of combat and level capture with the help of paints. At first glance, the game looks very childish, but in fact it is much more profound than you might think.

Fatal Frame V: Oracle of the Sodden Raven
Genre: Survival Horror
Exclusivity: yes
Release date in Russia: 2015
Continuation of the very famous in Japan series of horror games about the afterlife and ghosts. Asians generally love this theme, so that ghosts and spirits are considered one of the most terrible themes for video games. In fact, this game in Japan came out last year, and now the rest of the world is waiting for its full translation into English. The essence of the game boils down to the fact that the player must help the main heroine survive, provided that of the weapon she only has a camera. Using the camera's viewfinder (which will be displayed on the screen of the Wii U gamepad), it is able to see ghosts and avoid direct collisions with them. The game is very scary, believe me, I'm familiar with several previous parts of this series. Graphics promises to become much more beautiful, and characters are even more alive.
Yoshi's Woolly World
Genre: Platformer
Exclusivity: yes
Release date in Russia: 2015
Remarkable platformers continue to please players from small to large. Another game about the dinosaur Yoshi will be made of yarn. Yes, the picture on the screen will be as if connected by thick spokes made of thread of different colors. Specifically to create a similar visual style, the developers for several months studied the process of knitting, spent days in the Japanese shops selling yarn and various knitted things. Well, the game really looks charming and should please not only the children, but also their parents.

The continuation of the very popular in the 90's series of games about the detachment of anthropomorphic beast-pilots who, controlling their spaceships, must save their native planet from alien invaders. The game will make full use of the Wii U game pad and the built-in gyroscope and accelerometer so that with this screen the player can see the virtual world through the eyes of the pilot. To selected journalists, the game was personally demonstrated behind closed doors by Shigeru Miyamoto himself. And we can only wait for official news about the project, which, I think, will not be long in coming.
The Legend of Zelda Wii U
Genre: Action / Adventure

Millions of players around the world are eagerly awaiting a new chapter in the history of the fairy-tale world of Khairul.

The rules of this game come up exclusively for you.
Just Dance 2016
Genre: Rhythm / Music
Exclusivity: the game will also be released for Xbox One, Xbox 360, Wii, PS3 and PS4.
Released in Russia: Fall 2015
It is highly doubtful that Ubisoft will make an exception to the rules and will not release another part of its mega-popular Just Dance franchise at the end of this year. Competitive dance game for the merry company will not leave anyone indifferent. Personally, I repeatedly arranged for myself at home parties for friends and girlfriends, just including this game and giving out gamepads to guests. At first, people are embarrassed, because they consider it foolish to dance in front of a TV with controllers in their hands, but after the first attempt they are not torn off from this game. It's not for nothing that every new game of the series dispenses with multi-million copies. The trailer is higher, by the way, from the previous game of the series, let it not bother you.
Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem
Genre: RPG
Exclusivity: yes
Release date in Russia: 2015
Crossover or mixing of two game universes into one game. Shin Megami Tensei is a story about dark demons and people who can subordinate them to their desires. And Fire Emblem is a step-by-step tactical strategy in a fantasy style. The game was announced back in 2013, but since then nothing has been heard about it. Fans are hoping that the upcoming E3 2015 exhibition will shed light on this promising project. We will believe in the best and wait for June.
That's all I can tell you about interesting projects for the console Nintendo Wii U, scheduled for this year. Next time we'll talk about what we should expect from 2015 to personal computer owners. This conversation will be long, so I have to thoroughly prepare for it and conduct a serious study of the gaming market on gaming novelties. Thank you for reading us, and see you soon!
