Meh, i feel bad for Nintendo..
They make fucking awesome games. Unfortunately those awesome games deserve awesome hardware too.

GTA for Gamecube was in the works but they later got canceled. Not sure what it was but it was definitely possible.
What would be the point? Either way the Wii U is still getting Nintendo games and that's what matters.

I hate to admit it, but this is the truth.
Old ports of indie games is not gaining support. The system has to have decent first party games as well, even if they are obscure.

Well, they just make UE3 available for the web using web standards. It's entirely possible for them to focus UE4 on modern technology today while still having the ability to scale it down in the future as hardware becomes more capable on the low-end.

Personally I think Ubi/Acti are the only ones playing this next gen move well.
Lot of publishers just seem to be taking a lot of stuff for granted market wise.
My 2 cents.

It was also said UE4 can be ported to Wii U by a developer.

Oh, so you're under the impression Luminous and Panta Rhei will be on Wii U?
They will not.

OK the Wii did outstanding (still doing so) sales wise from last generation, so hows the Wii U doing?
It's the successor to your claim about the Wii...
Go take a look and report back

Iwata has really fucked up here.
Why is he still in a job?

I think he was talking more about the perception of Nintendo than support for Nintendo. As in, western media and game companies view Nintendo as largely a joke, whereas Japanese companies and media still largely respect them.

Everyone else is still supportin ps3/360. Ubisoft is the only one puttin out anything on wiiu.
Justifying ports because "well at least the Wii U has no games"? How pathetic of you.
Eh, logic and prospects of great Nintendo titles + indies make me think Wii U will still be worthy at the end of the generation, but inside my heart a very little part sees things like these and think "Nintendo, scratch it and release the REAL console". I know it's illogical and stupid, but a reaction like this is sad and awesome at the same time. At least, they're doing AMAZING things for indies, and that's pretty great for the future Wii U environment.

RIP in peace Wii U.
Eh it is a shame, but I suppose we'll have to see who has the last laugh. Nintendo puts out "weak" hardware, survives the crash, Epic puts out a engine that "only doubles developer costs!!" not quadruples it!" and developers rejoice!
Meanwhile... The bank prepares all those foreclosure notices as one by one these publishers/developers begin going out of business, following THQ all the way down the drain. It's pretty much writing on the wall at this point. It's like watching a bunch of people cruising along on the Titanic laughing at Nintendo as they abandoned ship.

Immense surprise. At least he didn't blame the controller this time.
I figured I'd ask straight-out, so during the Q&A with Rein, I did. "Will UE4 run on the Wii U?"
"Hahaha no." Rein said, with expert comedic timing. The room erupted with laughter.
Holy shit
This is the funniest thing I've read all day, wow
Brutal, just brutal :O Ah well, this is something that we all should have seen coming after we knew the specs. The wii u is still a worth owning if you want Nintendo games, but other than that, there's not much else. /back to MH3U

Nintendo has invested years and hundreds of millions of dollars on Wii U. They are not bailing out period.

Give me a fucking break. They ported UE3 so yes, they probably would. This idea that Epic hates Nintendo is the biggest pile of Nintendo fan crud
NO the Wii came at a time when non gamers were like ohh look this is for us, since then Samsung, HTC and Apple have mopped up this space.
I feel sorry for nintendo to be honest. I haven't owned a nintendo home console since the gamecube, but had all the ones before. Would hate to see them be in trouble, they make some of the best games.
I think they made a mistake when they thought it was ok to underpower their console based purely on the Wii. That strategy depends on a gimmick/innovation that catches on with the masses like waggle did. Now that the Wii U hasn't had anything like the same response, they are in a terrible spot.

I don't know what you mean by "justifying ports."
If Wii U was getting Hotline Miami I'd buy it and play it.

As much as die hard Nintendo fans will not like this suggestion. It is time for a company shakeup. Transition some new blood into the company.
I don't think the West have contempt for Nintendo, they just failed to build a system that's a viable fourth arm to the next two and PC, so it's not going to get support from them. People see this as people cheering fuck Nintendo, it could just as easily be people cheering UE4 is high level.

Also, I almost feel like giving up on Nintendo consoles at this point. I try to be optimistic, but this is fucking retarded.
What Nintendo NEEDED to do after the Wii era, and with all of that cash that they had amassed, was to create a powerful console, maybe not something so comically overpowered as the PS4, but still something at least within the same league (like the PS2 was for Gamecube/Xbox). Nintendo had the perfect chance to marshall all sorts of third party support, it had everything going for it, but it completely fucked it up.
I hate to say this, because this man gave me the DS, and I loved that, and he turned the 3DS around almost single handedly, and that is en route to be one of my favorite systems ever, but... Iwata needs to go. His entire philosophy towards hardware is doing Nintendo more harm than good.

Doesn't matter, though. NeoGAF is filled with more than a handful of Sony diehards who get offended when you insult their previous Vita. The revival of the Vita is prophesized every time a new title is announced.
Face it, people. The Wii U and Vita are niche machines until 3rd parties jump on board.
Stopped reading after the first sentence because Kotaku, but pushed forward for the rest of it.
Goddamn. Fuck this noise. I want to love the Wii U. I really do. I bought it on launch day. And so far my only excuse for owning only Nintendo Land, NSMBU and ZombiU so far is because of school studies. Beyond that I have my sights on MH3, NFS and Lego City Undercover.
But then what?
All my rage to tell these devs to fornicate themselves on a horizontal plane.
