It is really hard to see where the Wii U will get
There is a lot of things that makes it unpredictable to see what the Wii U will sell
On the bad side:
The Wii U has not been well received by the majority of the public I love the console, but many people don't seem to understand the console
Also PS4 and XOne have done a very strong publicity of their consoles
The first year of the Wii U was weak in terms of sales and with few great system seller games The 3rd party is one of the biggest weakness of the console (Titles like Bioshock and GTA never arrived on the console, and titles like Witcher 3, Thief, Final Fantasy and MGS seem that wont hit the Wii U too)
EA wont put is best selling games on the console too
On the good side, we have:
Nintendo exclusives are always one of the best of each generation and normally have great sales too
With PS4 and XOne loking so alike, Wii U is a unique plataform wich can pull on some different gamers or function as a 2nd console for those who have a PS4 or a XOne or are PC Gamers
Wii, Ds and 3Ds helped to spread even more games like Mario Kart, SSB, Zelda and so on And that could help on "creating" new Nintendo fans that where not so aware of this great games back on the Gamecube era
Nintendo is now more capable of creating more 1st party games
Since the Gamecube era, they have increased they workforce, they have more new studios and the have more "money" to make 2nd party games
With more games, more people will be interested on the Wii U
It will be a very interesting home generation for the Wii U
At least one thing i am sure, Nintendo will continue to give us great and unique games on the Wii U
I choose maybe because i want first to check Watch Dogs I do like GTA but i am not a big fan of playing with "bad" characters whose motivations are sex, drugs, kills, etc I prefer heroes or anti-heroes, and Watch Dogs seems more to follow that
@Jono97 IMO most of the people didn't buy the 3Ds due to the 3D effect They bought it because of the games it has
Wii U was lacking in games till now Games that can convince people to jump to other platform The so famous system sellers The more system sellers a console has, the more it will sell
We can say for example that Fifa will be a system seller for MS and Sony since it will be on their platforms and it will not be (at least for now) on Wii U
Wii U has little 3rd party support In fact, it even had a lack of 1st party support till now So, IMO the problem is always the games
Everyone was saying that 3Ds couldn't fight with tablets, android, etc and that vita was going to kill her for sure Now, just see where 3Ds is
Nintendo released a lot of games for it, it decreased it price and now 3Ds are selling like hot cookies
And do not forget that 3 system sellers are on the way for the 3Ds MH4, Pokemon and Zelda
@Jono97 Nintendo already have something that people will want to have again in a future handheld console Nintendo games Mario2D/3D, Zelda, Mario Kart, Pokemon, SSB, etc are some of the best selling games You will see them only on Nintendo consoles This is the reason why millions of people buy the 3Ds
I really like Kingdom Hearts and it will be a great miss to not see it on my Wii U When i bought my Wii U i already now that 3rd party support would be stronger on PS4 yet, for me, my favorite company at making games is Nintendo that is why i choose Wii U (that and the fact that my girlfriend loves a lot party games)
@Netto-kun you are right i tought that it was also realased on usa, but it wasnt nevertheless, as you said too, the gba version was realesed on usa and europe...
Too bad this game is receiving so much controversy Percursor Games do not deserve to be treat like this Their team is just fabulous The team behind this games is doing everything to make this game come true, and are always in touch with the people who supports them Really hope this games reaches Wii U
@Peach64 No, sorry, cant agree
You have to be more polite in this cases
You have to say something like, Wii U is a wonderful console but we are not planing on releasing games on it
We all now there is plenty of fanboys on Nintendo/Sony/Xbox, so you have to take care on the thing you say to the public
I have never seeing someone mention that N64 is not same gen as the PS1 and the N64 is more powerful never the less
We did not hear this controversy on the Wii too, at least that i remember
We know there is not a definition to next-gen or current gen, for god sake for me Wii U even can be a zero gen, what i really care is to see if the games are good or not, yet it seems almost an intended atack on Nintendo (you dont hear this speech from Ubisoft, Activision, etc)
@Peach64 The problem wasnt him saing ti wont develop games for the Wii U The problem is he saing Wii U is not next gen N64 was same gen as PS and Saturn Wii was same gen as PS3 and Xbox So why this now? He, as a "public" figure" on videogames should measure is words first Wasn't enough to say, "we dont intend do develop WIi U games, at least for now"
@LunaticPandora So, now it has to be a new Nintendo IP made by EAD? LOL Does it really mater if it was made by EAD, 1 UP, Pokemon team, ganbarionor mistwalker? Nintendo has given us new IPs Last Story for exemple is a great JRPG And Nintendo developed it with AQ and Mistwalker
@LunaticPandora They are Nintendo IPs Arent Naughty Dogs games Ip of Sony? Last Story was even developed by Nintendo, or havent you read the article? Monolith Soft belongs to Nintendo These 3 IPs belong to Nintendo But even if they where not developed by Nintendo, wich is the case of Pandora Tower, the IP still belongs to Nintendo They gave the money to it I gaved you the proves What more proves do you want? I will not go on blindness discussions with you, search for yourself...
@Cosmo810 Well some say Metroid Prime is an excelente FPS, and it is But i also think that should make a new FPS IP Myamoto has even talked about that So lets hope for it
@LunaticPandora Monolith Soft is a Subsidiary of Nintendo do you now what that means I dont belive Nintnedo developed Last Story too?? http://mynintendonews.com/2012/06/27/nintendos-influence-was-big-in-the-last-story/ That is not the article that i wanted, where Sakaguchi talks more about the development of Nintendo in the game but i guess it gives some idea Whether you want it or not Those 2 are Nintendo IPs
@LunaticPandora Wrong Xenoblade is from Monolith Soft and Monolith Soft is a subsidiary of Nintendo (owned by Nintendo) Like Naughty Dogs is a subsidiary of Sony so Xenoblade is a genuine Nintendo IP Last Story was developed by Mistwalker, AQ and Nintendo and was then published by Nintendo Nintendo owns the IP Sakaguchi has even made a interview where he explains that Nintendo had big influence on the setings, i can send you the intrevew if you want it, i just need to find it in the net
@MrWalkieTalkie
Now that we have this one, we have to put Shadow of the Eternals on the Wii U too

The problem is he saing Wii U is not next gen

So why this now? He, as a "public" figure" on videogames should measure is words first

Re: Dylan Cuthbert of Q-Games - Nintendo and Wii U Need a "New Super IP"
