Forums - Nintendo Discussion - If you want quality mature games on Wii U, please don't support a gimped port of Watch Dogs. There's a better solution.

I made this post to reddit earlier, but I thought I could reach some more people by bringing it here, so I have some thoughts for you guys.

TL;DR: You want more high quality mature titles on Wii U? Support Bayonetta 2 by picking it up when it releases this October because doing so can potentially get Nintendo to bring us more mature games like it.

Simply put, Nintendo platforms are not known for their mature games because Nintendo rarely publishes its own M-rated titles. Therefore, for those kinds of games, Nintendo consoles are sort of a dangerous ground. Because of this, third parties don't want to bring their "mature" AAA titles to Wii U, and even if they do, they bring gimped ports to the platform and/or don't market their titles at all. The poor sales that resulted from such practices has caused third parties to leave the platform.

However, Nintendo is bringing more mature titles to Wii U now than they ever have in the past, and the upcoming ones show a lot of promise. In particular, Bayonetta 2 is coming to Wii U as an exclusive title this October, and it is shaping up to be one of the system's best games. As a sequel to the best action game of the last generation developed by Platinum Games, there's no reason you shouldn't pick this one up if you're looking for more mature titles. It also comes with the original game with extra enhancements packed in, so it's an amazing value.

If you want quality mature titles on Wii U, show that desire by picking up the actually good mature title that Nintendo is publishing for the system instead of forcing yourself to support gimped ports which won't sell anyway, like Watch Dogs. It will at least prove to Nintendo that we want more of those kinds of games, and so they'll be more keen on publishing mature exclusives like Bayonetta 2. In the best case scenario, it could also prove to some third parties (like Sega, the owner of the Bayonetta IP) that we aren't a lost cause.

Just wanted to put the thought out there. Thanks!

EDIT: This thread isn't supposed tell you guys not to buy Watch Dogs outright, nor am I trying to convince you to buy one over the other if you want both. I'm trying to say that if you're not interested in WD but are considering buying it to get Ubisoft to bring us mature games, don't. Your money is better spent on Bayo 2.

What about the people who have no interest in Bayonetta 1+2 and can't wait to play Watch_Dogs on their WiiU? Should they buy Bayonetta even though they have no intention of playing it?



WTF, why i don't will buy Watch_Dogs? ._."
I will buy both games

Bayonetta 2 will be masterpiece, and one of better game of generation (maybe will be the best game of 8°generation before starting 2015), and for me will be D1.

Watch_Dogs is discrete game, that i want buy for Chrismas for playing the last Ubisoft mature game on Wii U...



Honestly, all that would do is tell Nintendo that they don't need to work for third party support. All they need to do is pay for one random third party title a year, and the sheep will pick it up.



I kinda agree, dont support the late port that is likely to be gimped in some way, that would just show Ubisoft and others that we are ok with late, inferior versions of games. Instead support the exclusive title that Nintendo themselves is funding.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

I'm amazed anyone would be interested in the crap Ubisoft's peddling to Wii U owners over a sequel the best action game from the last generation (which also has the best action game of the last generation packed in for free), but okay, sure. That's on them, I won't judge.

I'm just giving a suggestion to those who, like me, don't want to deal with gimped ports of multiplat titles or no mature titles at all on the platform.

If you manage to buy Advanced Warfare for the Wii U, I will be quite impressed.

Anyway I'm not buying a game just to "support" a certain type of game on a console I own. If it's a game that genuinely interests me and looks promising, I'll pick it up. Otherwise, forget it.
