Really people aren't biased against Nintendo. The only note worthy mention here is watchdogs because its potential with the gamepad. The rest of these games are just ports which will probably be identical to the current gen version.

The Gamepad could enhance all four games, and Rayman is ported from Wii U to PS3/360, not vice versa.

Did it enhance Assassins Creed 3?


No HUD and Off-tv? Hell yes. Given a longer development cycle, with finished hardware, ACIV stands to be quite excellent and will definitely benefit from the Gamepad.

In addition to Rayman being ported from Wii U to PS3/360, Watch Dogs is getting a similar treatment. Ubisoft had WD running on Wii U while the PS3/360 versions hadn't even begun development as of March.

OK...so what will do Nintendo when the PS3 and 360 get dropped and next gen consoles are the pure focus?

This show how much nintendo fans care about third party games, on this site, I guess


lol funny. 90 % percent of of the people who comment on these things are people who don't even like Nintendo and just know everything better, as usual.

Totally typical to tell the fans that it's their fault.

I'm gonna take a guess and say they'll have some of those popular first party game thingies and continue having partnership deals with 3rd parties. 



Anyone who would put EA or Activision (who by the way, unlike EA, is still supporting Wii U), above Ubisoft, is a fool. I will the whole Rayman Legends deal still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. It should still be a Wii U exclusive (if other consoles can get exclusives, so can a Nintendo system). Or at the very least, should have been released on it's original date, and any extra content could have been added later. I think they really left some software sales on the shopping mall floor with that decision, because less people that would have bought it for Wii U will actually get it when it comes out in Sep., even on the other consoles, than I think would have back in Feb.

But OTHER than that, Ubisoft is putting pretty much all of their top software on Wii U, including AC4, Splinter Cell, Watch Dogs, Rayman, they're already working on a Zombi U sequel (supposedly), etc. So they deserve props for that. EA are acting like idiots as far as I'm concerned. Sure, you can argue "oh it's just a business decision", but I'm sorry, Wii U sales ARE destined to pick up, and not producing ANY titles whatsoever for the system just stinks of sour grapes, and in no way can be construed as a sound business strategy. I wonder how they're going to act when Disney tells them to make Star Wars games for Nintendo consoles?

Regardless, Ubisoft, despite my issues with them also turning into an Activision/EA type giant, who largely seems to care about putting out annual sequels and little else, is still supporting the console. And quite frankly, their output is a lot better than EA's anyway, so given a choice between the two, as well as Sega's recent even-closer-cozying-up to Nintendo, I think Wii U will be fine. EA will eventually wake the fuck up when sales pick up later this year, and likely will regret missing out on sales they could have had once that happens. So as the saying goes, "whatev".

I don't see why this is such a surprise. Ubisoft have been the most willing publisher on both Wii and WiiU, have successfully marketed their games and have sold a decent enough number of titles to justify releasing more. The early months of a consoles are about building a customer base for the future and Ubisoft are the only third-party publisher that have had any measurable success in this (ZombiU).

Ubisoft- Initial success- continued support
EA & Activision- Poor initial sales- reduced support



Well, that's good to hear really. And Ubisoft, Capcom, Sega etc. are really supporting the system regardless of what EA are doing.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Nice news for Wii U fans. =) Anyone looking forward to these games?


Yeah, on consoles I already own.


Thanks for yet another useless post from you in a Wii U thread.  Clearly his post is targetted at people who have a Wii U and not people who are trolls on this site.

It looks like the Nintendo fans were driven away from the website. Nintendo threads used to attract so many of them.

I guess after making fun of Vita sales for a whole year, it is getting old and they have nothing else to do. 



When I get a Wii U there are quite a few 3rd party games I need to get, including 3 Ubi games.



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.
