After 4 tough years, Nintendo are releasing the successor to the Wii U, The Switch, on 3rd March 2017. To celebrate our next home console, and to mourn the death of the Wii's ultimately doomed brother, I thought it was about time we came together to see what the best games to grace it's disc reader, according to our activity logs.
This is a cross forum project. Users from GRcade, SONM and GNamer will be coming together to submit times.
Getting involved is simple. All you have to do is power up your Wii U, head into the activities log, and take note of the amount of time spent on each game. Unfortunately, unlike the 3DS, there's no option to view your top played games, so you'll have to do it manually. Once you've taken a note of all your most noticable games, post the list in the thread. There's no limit to how many games you can submit, and if you have more than 1 WiiU, you can post lists from both!
But it's not just games this time round, oh no... We're counting apps as well. Yes, I'm looking at all you eShop window shoppers. You're free to, hell I encourage you to post your times for apps, such as eShop, Youtube, Miiverse ect.
Along with your times, you can post comments about your thoughts or memories about the game. They might be featured in the final list!
Each forum will receive its own list of top games, compiled of its member's times. In addition to this, an overall, combined list will also be compiled, using everyone's times. The apps will only appear in a combined list.
To counter some balancing issues, the TWEWY (The World Ends With You) rule exists. This means that, if only 1 user enters a time for a game, only 25% of the total time is counted. If 2 users enter a time for a game, 50% of the time is counted. In order for all times to be counted, 3 or more users must submit a time for the game. This rule won't apply to the app list.
I'll accept time from now until 13th February. Then, on Friday 17th February, I'll post the top games from each forum. Finally, on Sunday 19th February I'll gradually post the top Games and Apps lists on all three sites. By that point, hopefully, we'll be ready to move on from the most untimely of deaths.
