Topic: Genres that the Wii U lacks that Nintendo should supplement with 1st party games

I'd like to see some strategy and simulator games take advantage of the Wii U screen.

Battalion Wars 3 anyone? That game makes perfect sense with the gamepad

We really need lot's and lot's of 2D platformers.

Xeno-whatever is on it's way. Is there really any difference between 1st party and 3rd party exclusives nowadays? It's likely being paid for by Nintendo to some extent.

I'd also like Nintendo to try their hand at a RTS. Something like Age of Empires. With a touch pad, it could work.

An FPS, preferably something Metroid Primey.

I want more games with competitive online multiplayer, but MK8 will soon scratch that itch for me.

something like Age of hyrule or something based on fire emblem would work really well actually

Anything that isn't a platformer (2d or 3d)

This.

I still think it's worth having some specialisation, so that the platform becomes known as the place to go for this or that genre, though not to the exclusion of all else. It's also good to consider the competition to try and work out where they have gaps or under-served audiences that can potentially be attracted over.

Yeah, that's the one. It has all kinds of action games (Assassin Creed, Batman, Mass Effect, Wonderful 101 etc), fighting games (Tekken, Injustice, Smash Bros.), racing (Sonic, Mario Kart), first person games (Call of Duties, Deux Ex, ZombiU), platformers (DK, NSMB, 3DWorld, Rayman), but it is really missing strategy games that could be amazing with the game pad.

A controller with analogue triggers.

I definitely agree with more Fighters and Strategy titles. I'd totally at least try to get into any decently liked PC strategy game if it was put on Wii U and I've been wanting to get into a non-Smash Bros fighter for a while now.

I barely see any (quality) action RPG and fighting games on WiiU, but I wouldn't trust Nintendo with either genre at all. Same goes for japanese RPG's, but I suppose those are bound to come out as soon as the WiiU sells enough.

Nintendo makes tons of JRPGs, but most are turn based. Mario & Luigi, Pokemon, Paper Mario, Golden Sun, Xenoblade, and I think there is one more I'm missing.

You know, I was thinking about this. The NFC thing would work very well with a MOBA

It would, but a MOBA on a console?

Guardians of Middle-Earth did a good job, plus with the Wii U's touchscreen you have another control method

What's a MOBA?

MOBA stands for Multiplayer Online Battle Arena

League of Legends is a MOBA

Yes! A big sand box game. Draw in some other gamers.
