The original game was on Gamecube, with City Folk on Wii. And if wii fit and party couldnt save wiiU, than I doubt Wii Play would either. And what peripheral are you talking about? I am making no excuses for the WiiU's failure. I already said its SHITTY console. Yes, it is a clean slate, but with that name and marketing campaign, it made it look like wii add-on tablet to the mass audience. These low effort ports are warranted, because these games had their sales potential cut by the miniscule wiiU base. Many of these games deserve a second life that isnt on a fisher price toy. Third parties are getting there. Ubisoft with MarioXrabbids (switch exclusive), skylanders and just dance, activision with skylanders and crash, ea with fifa, fe, take two with LA noire and nba 2k18. Square Enix is coming out with an exclusive Switch game this July. Koei Tecmo just did Fire Emblem Warriors. Diablo 3 is all but confirmed. Bethesda seems to be all in too. Mega Man 11 from Capcom. Sega with Sonic Mania and Forces. The third party situation is the best it has ever been since the gamecube days. Now for the first half of 2018, when it comes to brand-new games, that includes mario tennis, kirby, sushi striker, and project octopath traveler. It might be a bit lackluster, but c'mon. Lets not pretend that they didnt give us two GOAT games last year. They deserve a somewhat of a break, at least. |
Just sales alone would tell us that there were more people who liked SSB Brawl over SSB4 and is generally representative of consumer reception ...
Animal Crossing was a small game on the GC before it's growth hit stride in 7th gen but that's not an excuse for Nintendo to skip AC for WII U when it sold OVER 4M units on the Wii. Nintendo made a bad decision by skipping that franchise ...
We can all argue about sales potential with other platforms but with exclusive software it's all about convincing the consumers to go past the barrier of entry to access that content and it was solely supposed to be the job of 1st party WII U software but now Nintendo are going to attempt the same thing again by porting the entire WII U library to the Switch this year ...
New games are supposed to be the main system pushers and it should not solely be about old games like what the Switch is this year. Nobody is denying the great backlog that the Switch has built up last year but that doesn't mean they shouldn't put up a similar effort for this year to deliver a just as competitive quality software output ...
