Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Can Nintendo pump out 1 Wii U exclusive per month in 2014 ?

They could do it but January has normally been a pretty dry month for games. Everyone buys them up in December and it takes a few weeks for them to get through them all.
I wouldnt count on one in January but from Feb forward its possible.

Sonic: Lost World got dreadful reviews.... Sega only have themselves to blame. That game probably as legs though.... over the holiday should manage to sell at least 250k world wide. It's already on pace to outsell Rayman Legends.

Your right the right kind of exclusive can sell consoles for months.... Mario 3d World and Mario Kart 8.......then you got Super Smash, Bayonetta 2, Donkey Kong  for more hardcore gamers.

Ubisoft is still the best 3rd party support... hopefully Watch dog does good on WiiU.


I think their biggest problem is going to be people like me. Although I have a Wii U, and will suck up any decent release they put out for it. Multi platform titles I'll be getting on PS4, Watchdogs included.

But Smash Bros really shifted GCs, I don't doubt t has the ability to do the same for Wii Us.

No self respecting gamer should get Watchdogs on WiiU if they own a PS4 or Xbox One. But success on WiiU is only like 250K sales.

HAHA everyone here assume it's a given that no title will come out in January... maybe they should have a big Eshop promotion in January. Or a big Eshop game.

Whats funny is history shows that to be true for any platform yet you act like you know better than everyone else and completely disregard the past.

Games will be released but not big games. Even on PS4 the big games do not release til Febuary.

So you yourself don't have any idea what could release in January, yet you would laugh at others for assuming January wont bring the Wii U anything (because there's nothing to bring). I think we are the ones who should be laughing here, at YOU!

Maybe about 10 a year will suffice. That list however in many ways show how one dimensional Nintendo games are.
Leave out Bayonetta and X and what have you got? (Referring to exclusives).

However for Nintendo fans that list is good and with the way things are going for the wii u hopefully they will bring many of those fans back.

The heck are you talking about!? They're all of varying genre's. Platformer, Racing, Fighter, RPG, Action/Adventure, etc. Or what they're all the same now just because they're made by the same company, lol?

No, keep your shirt (or skirt) on. Maybe one dimensional was not quite what i meant. My apologizes, too much wine earlier. What i mean is that they have the same cartoony look and gameplay. The same characters keep popping up, DK is in three of those games etc. If that offends you, sorry. It is what it is and it's Nintendo. I like their games.

But, are these types of games dying out on home consoles and will most likely have a longer and more fruitful life on the 3DS? Is the reason the wii u is selling so badly is because people are losing interest in these type of cartoony games? This time next year all will be answered.

The last bit has absolutely nothing to do with this thread it is just a thought that crossed my mind while i was looking at the list.
