Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Wii U to have at least 18 exclusives within its first year

If I had a kid I would buy a WiiU for him, it has happy colorfull fun games like Mario and Donkey Kong, I think that is the niche Nintendo should go after now, it is safer than try to take on the two juggernauts that are coming this year.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Already surpasses my 360 in interesting exclusives.



BRB, going to go throw up.

Please note that this thread is not intended to make out as though this is important. It's to emphasise the absurdity of the other threads.

Here's the exclusives the Wii U will have had in its first year:

New Super Mario Bros U
Nintendo Land
Rabbids Land
ZombiU
Tank! Tank! Tank!
Game Party Champions
Sing Party
Sports Connection
Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2013
Family Party: 30 Great Games Obstacle Arcade
Rapala Pro Bass Fishing
LEGO City Undercover
Game & Wario
Pikmin 3
The Wonderful 101
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD
Wii Party U

That's 18 titles (not counting New Super Luigi U, which I'm treating as DLC with a retail release, rather than as its own game). It's also not including the following, which may make it within the first year:

Sonic Lost World
Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games

And it isn't including the following that may be argued as exclusives, but have a 3DS or Wii version (or both):

Transformers: Prime - The Game
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
Disney's Planes
The Croods: Prehistoric Party!
Scribblenauts Unmasked: A DC Comics Adventure
Dragon Quest X (recent PC version announcement notwithstanding)

Note that I didn't include any game set for release in December 2013.

My point? That when they say "15 exclusives" or "20 exclusives" for the first year, it's not that big a number. The Wii U managed around the same number, despite poor third-party support.





Even if u dont consider all those cheap party games, its still a pretty good list if u go all the way thru december.

Nintendo Land
NSMBU
ZombiU
Lego City Undercover
Game & Wario
Luigi U
Pikmin 3
Wonderful 101
Wind Waker HD
Wii Party U
DKC Tropical Freeze
Sonic Lost Levels
Wii Fit U
Mario 3D World

Theres 14 solid exclusives and PS3, 360 and Wii had close to or more than 15 exclusives thru there first full year so while it sounds like a nice number its really not that impressive.

I have many choice words about EA pulling Madden off the Wii U. I don't like Madden at all, but even I can see that the touchpad and Madden's fecal-based menus are meant to go together.

Their menus are based on poop? I hope they don't open a restaurent.

The problem is that the other consoles get all the multiplats, while WiiU relies almost solely on those exclusives.

You can get PS4 or Xbone exclusive + all multiplats. If you want WiiU exclusives + all multiplats you need two consoles.

That's right, if you need them, you always have the PC.

This is my point. Just numbers for all three of the consoles until they turn out to be a success.

Great thread and thank you.  Could not have done a better job.




       

That list is ok. But it definitely lacks certain types of games that many of us are interested. Not really impressive.

I suspect that the list will look similar every year.

no. kids like Call of Duty, not colorful games

I see a lot of third party published games in your list. The 15 for X1 and 20 for PS4 are first and second party games if I'm not mistaken, so there's a big difference.
