Was Tokyo Mirage Sessions the best game on the Wii U?

I meant that vocal songs are typically more expensive to make than songs without lyrics.
It's definitely the game I most want ported to switch of what remains, and did a great job at being persona X Fe X idols.
Given the barren first half of the year in terms of big single player Nintendo focused content, it's a shame they couldn't convince atlus to have had a version of it ready for about march.
I would absolutely be down for another persona but with fire emblem characters instead, probably drop the idol part though. As much as I liked the setting and some of the songs are great, it makes it damned hard for a dub to happen, which crippled sales potential (even more so being a Wii u game)

Not even close. Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Maker, Mario 3D World, New Super Mario Bros U, New Super Luigi U, DKC Tropical Freeze, Paper Mario Color Splash, Bayonetta 2, the Mass Effect game on there (forgot which one), Shovel Knight, Rayman Legends, the Zelda HD remasters, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Smash, Mario Kart 8 were all better. Of course the best Wii U game was Splatoon though. Nintendo's best new IP in ages.
Not anymore. In fact, we can't really have any JRPG that isn't a checklist of cliches and stereotypes.
Well, if the comparison is to other persona games, which is likely given the audience for the game, it's fairly well paced, lol.
At least things eventually happen in Persona stories. Like there is some payoff there. Tokyo Mirage Sessions, on the other hand...
The thing about TMS is it's very niche.
It's a turn-based JRPG
With a heavy J-Pop aesthetic
About Japanese idols
On the WiiU
And on top of all that, you have to not be mad about the game being more like a Persona spin-off than like SMT or FE.
I loved the game, but it's definitely not for everyone.

Sounds like you dont hate the "singing waifu stuff" as much as you think, as that's the whole story pretty much
Story and characters weren't good at all. Also as the game went on, the battles became a total drag. Watching all those animations over and over and over again made it very difficult to enjoy the game by the end.
Pretty much any other bigger Wii U release was better than this game.

In hindsight, wii u had so many great games with a terrible pace of launching one so late after the other....
Mario Maker
Bayonetta 2
Pikmin 3
Tokyo Mirage Sessions
Zelda Breath of The Wild
Mario Kart 8
Mario 3d World
Xenoblade X

I only really liked the battle system in TMS but that wasn't enough to keep me playing past 25 hours or so. It's another modern JRPG ruined by having way too much repetitive filler to justify its length.
It's a pretty good game for a certain niche but I wouldn't put it in my top Wii U games.

I loved the game, but among other gems BotW and The Wonderful 101 are available on Wii U so I can't agree with that.
The other reason why I would love a Switch port is that, without any doubt whatsoever, it would sell more than the WiiU version.
Not only that has been the case for all of Nintendo-published ports but also because the Switch has shown to be a really healthy platform for JRPGs and niche titles so TMS should find a good home there and hopefully could become a series on its own.

Not the best, but definitely a great game deserving of a Switch port/sequel.
I have always wished any Mirage Sessions sequel would use a different Nintendo franchise to take Mirages/gameplay cues from. Like for example Zelda, Xenoblade etc.

It's a decent but not standout JRPG.
Production values are good.
Dungeon design is great.
Combat works well.
Story is very average with not much of worth.
Characters are pretty one note.
Can get a bit repetitive (especially the combat).
Like it's a solid 8/10 game that anyone invested in the genre should probably check out.

It's in the top 10 maybe, but it's not even my preferred JRPG for the system. It's probably in the top 5 remaining exclusives, only just though. Wonderful 101, Super Mario 3D World, Pikmin 3 and Nintendo Land are all better imo. Maybe NSMBU and (underrated) Game & Wario also...
No. It was bad. Combos lasted forever and required little or no input from the player.
A 'fast paced battle system' it was not.
Pretty sure this entire 2 minute video has all of 3 inputs, and this isn't some out of the ordinary combo. Shit like this happened on a regular basis.
EDIT: in fairness, the dual arts attacks are skippable I think, and they're what take up the bulk of that video, but they're also a big part of the game's combat appeal. The result is you have to choose between fights where you do little or nothing much of the time and skipping out on the larger part of the flash that is the combat's primary selling point.
They should have found a way to keep the player involved during session attacks and duets, or to make them more abbreviated.

No, WiiU had many great games, but this one was probably one of the worst exclusives game on WiiU.
Y'all saying "Breath of the Wild is an RPG" are...completely out of your minds. Genres are barely useful as-is, stretching that one to fit every action-adventure game bursts that bubble entirely. BotW might be the best game released in the last 20 years, you don't need to trash every other category where something might be acknowledged in order to prove that.
