I'm sick of the whining and myths surrounding WiiU 3rd party games. Here are some excellent WiiU 3rd party games that deserve to sell better:

Trine 2 (eShop)

Trine 2 sold well on Wii U; the devs have said they're pleased with sales, and it's still regularly on the eshop top sellers list over a year after release.

Splinter Cell Blacklist

Injustice : Gods Among Us

AC

Need for Speed

Rayman Legends

The Wonderful 101 (published by Nintendo, yes. but developed by external studio)

Batman Series

Edge (eShop)

Trine 2 (eShop)

Bit.trip Runner 2 (eShop)

add that to the rest of Ninty's WiiU games and you actually have a fantastic back catalogue of games I'm Feel free to add your own WiiU hidden gems here!

EDIT: somehow the formatting got goofed. Sorry for confusion


1. Late port at a higher price. No it doesnt deserve better sales/

2. Meh

3. Maybe but starting out at game 3 is not the way to get people interested.

4. Another late port at a higher price. I dont get that at all.

5. Sold better on Wii U than any other platform.

6. I agree but games for gamers are rare these days and they never sell millions.

7. Another late and inferior port. What exactly is your definition of quality software? Do you line  up to buy games missing features months after the game is released on other platforms?

8. How do you know sales are bad? Nobody can track digital

9. See 8 and also see the interview where the devs were happy with the sales

10. see 8 and 9

I am sorry but making this list is the same as me making one saying PS3 owners dont support 3rd party games because 10 million copies of Ride to Hell Retribution werent sold. People do not and will not support half a$$ games. I dont and nothing is going to force me to. Yes I buy 3rd party games as long as they are not late, gimped, are supported by the publisher and they acknowledge those games exist.



ZombieU deserved way better, Lego City too.



So far just about every Wii U third party game is either poor quality, niche, late, or any combination of the three.
Their numbers are generally justified.

Need for Speed, for example, is an excellent port of a good game, but it's coming out several months after the other systems, so while it might deserve higher sales in terms of its quality, its numbers make logical sense.

actually Rayman sold best on PS3



Around the Network

From that list I have NFS, W101 and Edge, and I've enjoyed them.

I also recommend ZombiU, smart use of the Gamepad and it is selling cheap. That's the thing with third party games, they go down on price pretty quickly, it's better to wait for them to drop if you don't really need them.

You say tomato, I say tomato 

"¡Viva la Ñ!"

ZombiU, Lego City Undercover, Need For Speed Most Wanted, Injustice, Rayman Legends. Great games that deserved more attention



Angry Birds Star Wars.
