Probably not. 3rd party support on the Wii U will most likely be poor or mediocre for the rest of the system's life. I doubt Nintendo cares, their consoles sell because of their exclusives not because of multiplatform games or hardware anymore.

I edited my post to better say what I meant, if u look at the top 20 selling games only 2 new ips were made for PS2, Kingdom Hearts and Guitar Hero. It doesnt matter if it was 5 years or 20 years, the fact of the matter is by the time PS2 released all those series had anywhere from 3-10 entries which makes them old series.

U also failed to point out that Nintendo releases a fair amount of new ips every single generation and also lets many of its popular series take breaks for multiple gens.

Im not trying to downplay PS2, its an amazing system but it relied on old franchises just as much as Nintendo consoles do.

My guess is if the differences between the PS2/GCN/XBox were evident to you, the differences between Wii U and say the PS4 are going to be much larger.

Right, with the N64 it was the cartridges, so with the Gamecube they went with a disc format and was easier to develop for, then companies said it was cause the console sales were low, then Wii had amazing console sales, but 3rd parties say that their games don't sell well on Wii.

Like i said, its always something with 3rd parites and Nintendo. And budgets for making a Wii game was way less than making a game for the HD twins.

X could be played on a PS3 or 360. 

This is the end of current gen graphics.

You're telling me the PS3 and 360 cannot do this?

This in engine cutscene right here?

Lets be real here dude.

The 360 and PS3 can't do it, and neither can the PS4 or One because it isn't releasing on any of those consoles.

Just keeping it real.

It's "always something" with third parties and Nintendo because Nintendo always makes a system with some kind of issue.

Carts vs. CDs was an obvious.

GameCube was more death by a hundred little mistakes that Nintendo made, but they all added up to a crippling failure.

Wii was a full hardware generation behind. Wii U is basically the same thing, though perhaps not as far back architecturally, but that gain is offset by the fact that the PS3/360 are still active platforms and have a combined userbase of 140 million vs. 3 million for the Wii U, which makes Wii U quite simply a lower priority.

Third parties don't give a crap about the logo on the hardware, they just want to sell their games. The problem is Nintendo plays the "we're a special snowflake, we're going to do something different just because, please accomodate us" card all the time and I think it just has alienated the third party community almost entirely after three hardware cycles of it.

It's like having a friend, who you were best friends with in elementary, but now that you've grown up and gotten a job, he lives on the other end of town, refuses to get a driver's license, and you realize you actually don't have a lot in common. It's not you dislike the guy, but are you going to drive out of your way 45-50 minutes in traffic to pick him up when you have two totally cool new friends who you actually have a lot more in common with, work with you, do a lot of same things you and will even come pick you up or cover the bar tab on some occassions?

That's how I think third parties see Nintendo. It's two friends who have grown in different directions.

Can't is a such an unrealistic word. You should say not possible because....*insert words here*.

To say it would be impossible is unrealistic.

Every console ever made has some kind of  issue.

And carts were so bad to develop for that it single handedly crippled the hand held market as well.

Can't is a very realistic word, an unrealistic word would be more like shaplimkle, seeing as how I just made it up.
