XB1 still has a lower install base, why don't you g and check out how comparable third party games have fared on either system? There is your answer.

XB1 will be a HUGE audience for Minecraft, you do realise 360 is large in part why the franchise is so ridiculously huge right? 15m+ on Xbox 360.

To finalise, third parties have no obligation to support WiiU, and given you don't know what happens behind the scenes (like Nintendo not being good dealing with third parties) it looks a bit rich you demanding third parties to just support the WiiU simply because .. you want them too.

This isn't just some 3rd party game. This is minecraft and would do well on Wii U. It has a gamepad.

Exactly how well would it do???

Gamepad wouldn't make it any better of a game. It works perfectly fine with a mouse + keyboard and/or controller. No need to totally revamp the entire game's interface for the WiiU, which is probably what Nintendo told them they would have to do.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

Marcus Pearson owns a WiiU.

If Nintendo actually reached out to 4J or Mojang, then yes, we'd probably see a Minecraft version on a Nintendo console. The game is literally on every other device with the impending release of the Vita/PS4/XONE versions.

Not sure what notch is smoking but I want some.. Minecraft and Nintendo seems like a natural mix to me. Minecraft is a game Nintendo gamers would really be into. I mean personally it doesn't effect me as I've played the shit out of Minecraft already but there are probably many Wii U owners who haven't.

I expected better out of an indie dev.. But I guess since notch and his company became successful, they feel they have to shun Nintendo platforms like all the major developers out there.. That's when you know you've made it. It's like a rite of initiation or something.


And these third party devs "shun Nintendo" for no good reason - these hundred million and billion dollar companies just think Nintendo isn t cool or they think it is cool to think Nintendo is not - therefore they shun them like a popular grade schooler would shun a nerd at lunch -  it just makes so much sense-  poor helpless Innocent Nintendo just has to sit there and take it - after all there is NO WAY Nintendo has ANYTHING to do with these third party problems - it s all those completely hating third party s that don t want any Nintendo money because it does not spend like other currency and it is wrinkled with nerd sweat on it

I love how many keep thinking that tons of 3rd party devs all decided together as a group to shun Nintendo.

Why can't it be that Nintendo is quite possibly really shitty to work with? At some point you need to stop with the unrelenting defense of everything Nintendo and understand that it is a good possibility that the lack of 3rd party support is their own fault.

Nail on head.

Now who's making unlikely assumptions?

Nintendo doesn't impose much on third parties anymore. They know they can't afford it. It's the lack of proactivity that's more harmful.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Even though the Wii had a huge install base third parties only supported it with very sub-par ports/exclusives. There's always an excuse on why they do this, eg...the system is too weak. Now that the Wii U isn't selling like hot cakes this gives them another excuse to not support Nintendo. It could be Nintendo themselves not willing to work with third parties, but I don't know. I think Minecraft would sell very well on the Wii U especially because of the gamepad controller. However, I'm not the developer nor publisher of the game so I can't say on why they won't bring it to the Wii U as of yet.

Seece is correct. Sony and Microsoft both chase down third parties to get games and consoles where as Nintendo don't. Nintendo also have historically (Gamecube) not wanted multi-platform games because they didn't want their console to look like the same experience as any other.

That link is a really good insight into Nintendo's mindset and I honestly don't think they've learnt anything. Pretty much all of their problems are their own policies biting them in the butt.


Except you're wrong.  Your link is irrelevant because we have information that contradicts what you stated.  No one even needs to read the link to know that.  All they have to know is that Nintendo has been paying to publish not only 3rd party games in the west, but also reached out and completely revived and funded Bayonetta 2, a 3rd party game that was previously only available on PS3 and 360.  It's not even JUST Bayonetta 2, but Devil's Third as well.  No doubt they're doing more than just this, and they have lightened up a LOT in terms of how they handle indie devs and the sort.  All of this information 100% contradicts the statement that Nintendo doesn't chase down 3rd parties to get games, and that Nintendo hasn't "learnt anything."  You need to actually research before you go talking about something you essentially know very little about.
