So they're going to throw away the entire ps360 user base and bet on a system which hasn't sold a single unit yet? LOL
At best you'll get some ps3 ports.
I have it on very good authority that I don't know anything about the Wii U's launch line-up.
Take that as you will.
Not exactly the same...but continue thinking like that.So they're just going to throw away the entire PS2 userbase and make games for the PS3 that hasn't sold a single unit yet? LOL
did you get yourself confirmed by mods?I have it on very good authority that I don't know anything about the Wii U's launch line-up.

Not getting it at launch unless Retro's new game blows me out of the water at E3.
the key is the games have to be a margin better than their xbox360/ps3 counterparts for me to even consider getting one

wut? Fanboy???
I've owned every Nintendo system at launch since the SNES (I didn't get my NES until '88). My statement is based off personal experience and Nintendo's own history of how they regard 3rd party support. *Protip* they don't really care!
Nintendo has served their own needs at the expense of 3rd party since the N64 and that is a fact.
I love Nintendo's franchises but they come too few and really far between and they need 3rd party support to fill those gaps. I don't believe they'll get that support once Sony and MS launch their new machines in 2013.
Sure, on the assumption that the ps3 would be the next ps2 and they could get ahead of the competition. What exactly is so enticing about the wii u to japanese home console developers that would cause them to shift exclusively to that?

So...
They moved from the PS2 to the PS3 because the PS2 did well.
But they won't move to the Wii U because the Wii did well?
I assume we're talking abou the SE's and the other big boys. What exactly did the wii do for them?

So all these userbase talk just tells me that the DQ11 will be on the ipad.
Hey maybe we could have a Mario game at launch just like the old days.
I can dream can't I?
linkhero said:Guessing he's referring to Western titles. My hunch is GTA V will be launch title.

I'm not trying to be flippant, but the odds that a 3rd party is going to take the time to make a Wii U port look better than its PS360 counterparts is about zero.
Wii U threads are so fun. If the quote is negative, believe it; if it's positive, claim it's wrong or exaggerated.
If GTA V is slated as a holiday title (I haven't kept up), it would be a HUGE mistake if Nintendo didn't do whatever it took ($$$) to get the definitive version on Wii U. It would show off the gate they're serious, mature, and third party & western developer friendly.
Also, if they had such a huge title from a 3rd party, they could relax a little and let some of their own games slide into Jan - March 2013... when you KNOW there will be a software gap. That would be a good time for Pikmin, F-Zero, Star Fox, or other A but not AAA titles. Those aren't necessarily system sellers on their own (to the masses) but they would keep hype up and keep the hardcore gamers excited about their new console.
Yeah thats the typical pattern of a Wii U thread lol.
Sounds about right.
Not buying it (that it has a good launch lineup)
Maybe they learnt their lesson from 3DS launch?
If they could charge $40 and sell 5+ million of it, yes.
However, neither seems likely.
Guess you're getting it at launch then.Not getting it at launch unless Retro's new game blows me out of the water at E3.
Not quite. The odds are zero + moneyhat fill percentageI'm not trying to be flippant, but the odds that a 3rd party is going to take the time to make a Wii U port look better than its PS360 counterparts is about zero.

I feel they need one exclusive title (whether 1st or 3rd party makes no difference) that's geared towards a slightly older audience. NSMB and Pikmin are all well and good, but those and some multiplatform titles may not cut it w/ the core gamers who typically buy consoles at launch. Wii had Zelda. Wii U needs something to appeal to this demographic.
If this guy has positive Nintendo news it MUST be good.

I think that is Retro's job.
If I'm in charge of SE or any other game publishers, it'll be very foolish of me not considering ipad as an option to develop my games on. I understand Nintendo fans are sensitive about this but if you think purely business you have to explore all the possibilities.

Definitely. I'm not sure how Nintendo's relationship with Rockstar is now, but I'm hoping it's patched up. I would buy GTA V for my Wii U rather than my 360 if it's a launch title.
I'm think there first party output will still be a strong as ever, but this time around they're helping third parties in other ways. They've lent them a hand with optimizing their engines and with middleware solutions, so I think that's a lot more than they have ever done. Also if NiN is really as good as some of are hoping than there's no reason why the Wii U won't get some great third party titles.
I don't think they've actually had a bad relationship with Rockstar. GTA never hit Nintendo consoles I think for other reasons -- Gamecube discs had a storage size issue (GTA III), and the Wii wasn't powerful enough to handle IV. They still found time to make a DS version and supported the Wii early, mainly with PS2 ports (Bully, Manhunt).
But with Wii U, there isn't going to be a horsepower issue or storage issue. No excuse unless they DO have some kind of problem with Nintendo, and/or if Nintendo is too proud to play ball (which I doubt). I really doubt GTA V would be exclusive, but some bonus content and better framerate / textures / draw distance would be a pretty big deal.
