You see the whole of them not releasing the new wolfenstien is because they obviously believe it wouldn't sell well enough
But the truth is wolfenstien TNO wont sell that well on any platform.
How well did the last one perform ? 55k thats how well
There seems to be this myth that these kind of games do really well on "hardcore" consoles
And this just is not the case. If consumers see a steady flow of third party games on the wii u, not a watered down port of an old game there is no reason for that game not to perform well on nintendo consoles.
Ubi soft and WB are the only third party developers I think that has quality software to offer AT THIS TIME.
EA don't really have anything that has caught my attention, and neither has any other third party. I know this will change over time as all third parties have their greats.
If the Wii U was to loses Ubi's support I think that would be a massive blow, not only for their multi-plat's but also for their exclusive content.
I WANT A ZOMBI U SEQUEL, or maybe, just maybe a redsteel 3. I think another thing nintendo could do to help turn things around is aquire a few studios.
Why dont nintendo fund new IP's from third party developers the same way sony and microsoft do ?
Why don't the buy HVS and get a conduit 3 going or somthing that will appeal to that audience (including myself) to show that "this is our FPS, with online and all the trimmings that you can only get on Wii U"
Or even a racing or gta style game thats exclusive.
I dont think I'll be able to afford a PS4 at launch anyway, what with xmas round the corner and wii u games that I want the only people getting my money this year is nintendo
I know why do people still get all crazy for GTA games ?
I use to back in the day, but since san andreas I lost intrest. I also believe other companies have done the open world thing better than rockstar
I thought sleeping dogs was better than GTA4, I thought scarface was better than san adreas, even the new driver had fresh ideas.
And we have sleeping dogs around the corner which to me looks a million times better, but I guess it will sell a lot less than gta5, and we probably wont see a sequel.
In terms of games I believe nintendo showed off the best stuff out of all 3 companies.
The only reason everybody is in love with sony is because ps4 can play second hand games and doesnt require online check in's
But why should I be greatful for something that should come as standard ?
What I'm saying is, because microsoft look so bad it makes sony seem like saints. So sony are billed as the winners of this years E3, and to be fair the ps4 does look decent, but game wise what did they really show that looked "OMG, WOW"
But when I saw bayonetta 2, mario kart 8, and even wonderful 101, I got excited.
And thats more than I can say for the other 2 showings.
Well I feel so let down by Nintendo (not the Wii U console itself, I think it's awesome) that I ended up trading in my Wii U due to lack of excitement and games.
I still have my PS3, and sony seem to have learnt from past mistakes and are going from strength to strength.
So if they carry on like they are then It's sony all the way for me.
If microsoft and sony have any brains what so ever, they will learn from nintendo's mistake and make sure they avoid the same problem.
Also everybody keeps saying the PS4 will be overpriced, but you forget the wii u was £350 and the games are £50 new.
3ds was £230 at launch.
Success seems to bring the worst out in these companies, when they have a taste of failure it seems to make them rethink their actions and work harder to satisfy the consumer in terms of value and quality.
To be fair, rockstar games never really do that bad on nintendo consoles anyway
GTA china town wars broke the 1 million mark and even outsold the psp version, bully and manhunt 2 on wii didn't fare any worse than the other consoles these games were released on.
Come on rockstar, Don't be pr!cks and give the wii u GTA5, just to knock that grin off of all those haters faces.
@SCAR392 Well said, and I agree with you totally. Also everybody that I know or speak to that has a wii u are very happy with it and think It's an awesome console. The only people that dislike the wii u are sony or xbox fanboys, that would crap on anything nintendo did.

Re: Warner Bros. Believes In Wii U, Thinks E3 Games Will "Re-energize The Platform"
I said it before and I'll say it again
All nintendo need to do is make a few smart moves here and there and BOOM, Job done.
They need to advertise the hell out of the Wii U and its upcoming software, then pull a price cut 1 day before the launch of PS4
You watch the turnaround happen before your very eyes.

Re: Call of Duty: Ghosts May Not Appear On Wii U After All
Well I only play COD games on nintendo consoles because I love using the wii-mote and nun chuck.
So if there is no wii u version then I wont be buying COD
Re: Call of Duty: Ghosts May Not Appear On Wii U After All
@NINTENBOY
Thats stupid what you just said, if the sales are good then of course we will get dlc it makes perfect sense
So you think if nobody buys it then they will give us dlc and future COD games
Your logic baffles me

Re: Time: Nintendo Is "Stumped" By The Wii U GamePad And Should Ditch It
What a load of rubbish, off screen play is the selling point for me alone. I cant even begin to describe how useful this feature is to me.
And devs are using it, zombi u, batman, splinter cell, watch dogs, COD, nintendo land etc
Just more negtive garbage from some hater that probably plays to many FPS
Re: Wolfenstein: The New Order Looks Set To Skip Wii U
I'm sorry, say what you will but I'm so bored to death with FPS that this doesn't bother me one bit.
This game wont sell that well on any platform which defeats the whole point of not bringing it to the wii u.
FPS games are a dime a dozen now and although its not a good sign for the wii u, I personally am not bothered about this game.
I predict around 40K sales and after 1 or 2 months it will be in the bargin bin at asda.
Re: Retro Studios: "After Donkey Kong Country Returns We Had A Lot Of Gas Left In The Tank"

I think retro should do a beat em up, I think they would be good at that.
Re: Nintendo "Feels Good" About How It Stacks Up Against Sony And Microsoft
Personally I was pretty impressed with the wii u line up. Bayonetta 2 and X2 looked jaw dropping.
A little bit more of that kind of software, and I think the wii u will be a viable option compared to its rivals.
Heck, even that new sonic game looks really good, in fact I was more impressed with that then mario.
Re: It's Still Not Known If Batman: Arkham Origins DLC Is Coming To Wii U
The sad thing is that the Wii U is a decent console with huge potential, I really cannot understand all the hate it's been getting.
If it had more games and developers treated it with respect I honestly believe that it could more than stand up against PS4 and especially XBOX WUN.
Shame, it almost seems like the Wii U is being bullied out of the next generation
Re: Talking Point: Wii U vs Xbox One - Online Requirements and On-Disc DRM
Its funny how 360 fanboys were dissin the wii u, and now their beloved microsoft may have just created one of the worst consoles ever.
Xbox one is a joke, we all know it, and unless microsoft throw out some groundbreaking poop at E3 then they can shove it.
Wii U is a great console, it just needs some games for gods sake !

I respect their decision
Re: Talking Point: The Wii U's Next-Gen Challenge Starts to Take Shape

Because they released it on the wii and the game was released a month before the release of the wii u.

I'm a mega wrestling fan and to me that's a system killer, sorry nintendo

Re: Rumour: Nintendo Planning a 3D Mario Release on Wii U Before October
the fact nintendo acknowledge there is a problem with the wii u's games schedule is a really good step in the right direction.
what I think will also (possibly) give it an edge over the ps4 and nextbox is price.
those things ain't gonna be cheap, but the wii u will have a brighter future and a lower price.

Re: Expect Batman To Sound Different In Arkham Origins
That's a shame, considering conroy just voiced batman for injustice.
I don't understand because when your that good at something why not just keep doing it.
Oh well, they found a decent voice for joker in injustice. So I'm sure they will find a decent enough batman.
Re: Rumour: Call Of Duty: Ghosts Will Be Spooking Wii U This Year
As much as I hate to admit it, the wii u needs these kind of games in order to be taken at least half seriously.
I always buy em though(on nintendo consoles), so here's one sale.
Edit: I wish n-space would start doing those awesome ds COD games agian. But for 3DS of course.
Re: Nintendo Confirms Yearly Net Profits, But Higher Than Expected Operating Losses
