Cuz wii u is teh last genz ololol
Yeah, I dunno, everyone's saying how bad Nintendo's situation with Wii U is, but it seems like it's getting better third party support than the Wii did. The difference is none of Nintendo's first party software is lighting the world on fire the way Wii Sports or Super Mario Galaxy did at this point in time.Apophis2036 said:Splinter Cell Blacklist, Rayman Legends, Batman: Arkham Origins, CoD: Ghosts, Assassin's Creed IV and Watch Dogs ontop of Pikmin 3, W-101, Wind Waker HD, Sonic Lost World, DKC Tropical Freeze and Mario 3D World.

Well that's the trick with multiplats isn't it? People buy Nintendo consoles for Nintendo games, but if Wii U is getting the games they'd want on PS360 (or at least the bulk of them), then you're set with one system.Deadly Cyclone said:
I find it unbelievable too, what was I thinking?It was just a hopeful joke.
.The PS4 and Xbox One versions of those games will definitely have a leg up, but Wii U off-TV play is a big incentive for me.
What. The Wii got something 84 EA games in its time. The Wii U has had four with little guarantee of more. Ubisoft is making statements that indicate that they plan to slow down their Wii U support by next year if the platform doesn't turn around, even if they are throwing a bunch of their big players on the system right now. Activision is the only one currently continuing full-blown support for the foreseeable future, and with how they're trimming down to focus on profitability who knows how long that might last. The Wii had ton of third party support all around, it simply didn't manifest in the games the core was hoping for. To say that the Wii U is getting better support is erroneous at best. Perhaps it would be better to say that the Wii U is getting better core support at this point in time, barring a seemingly disastrous holiday 2013 for the system at the worst.
Better core support is what I meant, yes. I also said at this point in time. The Wii didn't get any of the Assassin's Creed games for example, and MW1 was late and MW2 never came out at all. Yes there is still some hesitance from Ubisoft about supporting the console going forward but it's still better than shitting out Imagine titles left and right.
Define "better". AAA support? Definitely. And the Wii U's more modern design would definitely allow room for continued third party multiplats even after the One and PS4 really started to bear their teeth, but that's neither here nor there. We'll see how it does after the holidays to make any claims on that.

Agreed, Ubisoft statements to me mean that future support is dependent on two-three things:
Nintendo's already in a position where they're taking a loss on every Wii U sold. It's a relatively small loss, something in the order of $50-$70, but it's still a loss. Dropping the price by even $50 this holiday would widen that loss to $100+ per system. The 3DS also sold at a lost post-price drop, but it was something like $20 a unit, and they made the system profitable by 2012. Without a revision in their approach, either through design or something else, Nintendo will be hard-pressed to push the price down especially after losing money for two years straight. Can Nintendo take the loss? Absolutely. One has to wonder if Nintendo has the brass to do such a thing to better the install base. Sony and MS went for years on $300+ losses to establish the PS3 and 360, but Nintendo is smaller and fiercely cheap. So who knows.
