It's sad to see this thread will see little to no upcoming 3rd party retail games anymore. What games are even still coming besides Watch Dogs, Project Cars (both delayed), Sonic Boom, Skylanders and Disney? I mean that isn't funded by Nintendo.
Nintendo has to try to break this neverending cycle they appear to be stuck in. In order to remedy this (lack of 3rd party (multiplatofrm) games) situation, they have to deal with two things: A/ Make sure the userbase that plays these sorts games is represented on their platform. B/ Make sure people have a reason to prefer this version over those of competitors. In order to do that, they need to "lure" this userbase to their platform with (for them) interesting exclusives. The question then will be, are off-tv play and pointer controls good enough for the "mainstream" COD audience to prefer it over superior graphics? I doubt it, so this will be someting to keep in mind going forward. As long as they can't pull that off, i feel they should take matters into their own hands and dedicate a few small (but competent) internal teams to porting over these franchises like RE, COD, AC so that these fanbases can grow on their platform, among gamers that weren't "into" those games earlier. You can't just "drop" Mass Effect 3 on this platform and expect people who never played the first games to start buying into the series, hitting the ground running.
That would be ideal, and the only limiting factor would be the speed of your network. But surely that should be at the very least, a couple of MB/s.
