because wii barely had any multiplatform titles. and when it had it was too unoptmized and half assed to even be worthy. when third's give a damn the games easily sell their 500k - 1M units like the RE umbrella nd darkside chronicles. The fact remains that multis will sell respectably on nintendo platforms given the product is good (released simultaneosly with others, decent port,...).

and we already know wii u can handle Ps4/Xone ports with irrelevant graphical difference.

How do you judge the Wii's 3rd party offerings, for example COD, which had support for a few controls and Online support as well, and the graphics were as good as the Wii could handle.

the graphics weren't as good as the wii could handle. Anyway COD is one of the few examples of multiplats on wii and it sold decently.

They need to do something! Xbox Live went down Thursday for an hour so I decided to run to the store to buy a Wii U. It took an hour to D/L the first console update. I did not buy any games figuring I would play some demos and buy something off the market. Boy was that a huge mistake! Wii U demos are not like Xbox Demos. They are much more limited. I D/Led some pinball game because it was free only to find out I had to buy the boards. EAch board only had 1 round to demo. Other games limit how often you can play the demo to 30 times no saves. In the end I spent hours looking for something that interest me only to find 1 stinking game. I bought Cave for $15. The online marketplace stinks and the game selection is subpar! I don't want low res Wii games I want high Def Wii U games and they are few and far between. They need a lot more then just 3rd party support. They need to get their heads out of the sand and stop relying on remakes of the same old games! I mean no Zelda yet for Wii U? Really?? And the one coming just another exact remake with slightly updated graphics and touch screen mini games??? What a waste of money!!!

@bold. For a 3rd party multiplat, with 3rd party effort, yes it was. 3rd party multiplats rarely require the most of a console.

Also, the sales consistently dropped on the Wii, whereas they consistently rose on the twins.

I really hope Nintendo continues doing partnerships with 3rd parties. Multiplats are nice but exclusives will help them alot more.

If W101 and Bayonetta 2 are successful (1 million+) then I really hope they continue making exclusives for Nintendo. Weve seen a new ip and a sequel from them so maybe their next game can be a Nintendo franchise, preferably Star Fox since theyve said there interested in making one.

They should also continue their relationship with Sega and expand it outside of just Sonic. Maybe bring back some old Sega classics like Golden Axe, Altered Beast, Panzer Dragoon, Ninja Gaiden etc.

Also fund series that have dropped in quality lately. Some examples of that are Ninja Gaiden and Soul Calibur, both of there latest installments were lack luster and didnt sell very well, Nintendo should help reboot them and regain top quality.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

A new Wii-U exclusive Panzer Dragoon would be AWESOME!

Pikmin, the 1st of Nintendo's 1st summer game will barely pass 1 million. I don't see 101 or Bayonetta ever reaching that.

I think pikmin will pass 1 million comfortably

Pikmin 3's sales will be a real test for Wii U, it will be its first major release since its launch month.
It's a first party game from a beloved series, but will the starvation of the first half of 2013 make Wii U owners even more keen on buying it, or have they moved on?
