Over the past few days, rumours surrounding two potential Wii U ports supposedly being planned for rereleases on Switch have been almost impossible to ignore. So much so, in fact, that we decided to ask you lovely people which remaining Wii U hits you’d like to see<\/a> make the jump in a poll.<\/p>\n

These potential ports haven’t been confirmed or even spoken about publicly by Nintendo, but the evidence for their imminent reveal seems to be stacking up. Peer Schneider, co-founder and Chief Content Officer at IGN, has commented on the two unannounced games during a podcast hosted by Nintendo Voice Chat<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

“The secret Wii U ports that are being discussed; one of them is a nine out of 10 for me, and one of them is more of a six out of 10…”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

After a little more discussion, in which the rest of the panel discuss guessing the games he’s referring to, he adds:<\/p>\n

\n

“I really liked what Nintendo did with their take on real-time strategy games.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So, if all of this is to be believed, one of the two games is a real-time strategy title. The obvious choice jumping out to us here would be Pikmin 3<\/strong><\/a>; the Switch doesn’t have any Pikmin representation so far, Pikmin 4<\/strong><\/a> seems to have disappeared off the face of the Earth, and the way Schnieder talks about liking Nintendo’s “take” means it has to be a first-party title.<\/p>\n

As for the other one, who knows? If we had to bet on anything we’d say The Wonderful 101<\/strong><\/a>, mostly because a rerelease has been on PlatinumGames’ collective mind<\/a> for a while now. If and when these two unannounced ports are officially confirmed, we will, of course, let you know.<\/p>\n

Do you believe the rumours? Do you agree with our Pikmin guess, or do you think it could be something else? Share your thoughts with us in the comments.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
