the Wii U haz 1 game starts sunday
I think the tag will be dropped from late 2013 to mid to late 2014 when PS4/Xb1 have more titles out despite WiiU have a year head start and then it'll resume and never cease.

By this time next year the Wii U should have NSMBU, Nintendo Land, Wonderful 101, Pikmin 3, Sonic Lost World, DKC Tropical Freeze, SM3D World, Mario Kart 8, Bayonetta 2, Yoshi Yarn, Smash Bros. 4, and much much more. Anyone who says the Wii U "haz no games" at this point needs to get some serious help! |
I don't see it that way. Wihle all of those games are good, only the two from Platinum Games deviate from what you'd normally see on a Nintendo platform, so there's no much improvement for those who weren't Nintendo fans already.

I think when people say "Wii U has no games" they're saying "Wii U has no exclusives." I mean it only really had 3 AAA ones at launch, but when you look at it, the launch was far from dry.
We got AC3, Darksiders 2, Black Ops 2, Mass Effect 3, Arkham City, Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed, Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper, so on and so fourth.
Counting all the releases that have already come out this year, like Resident Evil, NFS: Most Wanted U, Injustice, Lego Batman 2, Lego City Undercover, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Game and Wario, Sniper Elite V2 (call it gimped or not, it's still a game.) and more.
So when you think about it, the Wii U "has no games" argument makes no sense, as it already has well over 50 games. The argument should be "the Wii U has no games I'm interested in and games I can get on my other consoles" not something as general as "the Wii U has no games" because that would be implying that the system has 0 games.
You know something funny though? Much like the Wii U, the PS4 only has 3 major exclusives at launch (Knack, DriveClub, and Killzone.) and nobody is saying a single thing about the PS4 having no games. So what gives? The argument makes no sense.

Well that's nice and all, but games are games. Neither yours or anyone elses opinions on them will change this fact. |
This thread is solely about the perception in which people view the Wii U and its game library.

Consumers are unreasonable and very difficult to please, but that's the job that companies like Nintendo have taken on.
The "no games" stigma will persist for the rest of the year, but 2014 for Wii U will look like 2013 for the 3DS, except the Wii U faces stronger direct competition.
