The Wii U died so the Switch could live The Wii U was such a failure it broke the entire concept of console generations. Released in 2012, as a follow-up to the hugely successful Wii, it was a complete disaster from the very start, with a poor line-up of games and bafflingly little marketing.

There have been rumours that Kirby And The Rainbow Paintbrush will be making the leap to the Switch but given how intrinsic the Wii U GamePad was to it, it seems impossible that Game & Wario will ever be ported over.
