No, and frankly I don't care. I wish people would just let it go. Nintendo has not gotten third party support since the early 90s. They never will again. Why? Because there now exist faceless and souless corporate machines who are willing to bend at the will of the third party powers that be, and be their puppets. As long as these mega corporations have a foothold in the industry and keep making hardware, Nintendo will never be favored by the third parties. And you know what? That is completely fine with me. Most of the stuff they crank out is rehashed and/or uninspired garbage that I simply don't care for. The only benefit of having third parties on Nintendo is that the rare gems that DO come out, usually don't sell and thus drop like a rock in price, and I am therefore able to snatch them up on the cheap.

No we cannot just "let it go", basic third party support is required for the console to compete, have you tried to sell a console that lacks any soccer game and a decent first person shooter to a non-hardcore gamer? is very hard specially on south america and Europe were soccer is the king, and is also kind of depressing, the Wii U just DOES NOT EXISTS for those players if there is no updated soccer game, hell even a legacy edition would be better than no edition at all.



Nah.



Nintendo will get no third party multiplats in the future. They will only get exclusives/partnership/second party games (Bayonetta 2, Bayonetta 3, Devil's Third, Pokken, Zelda Mosou, etc.). I would not be suprised if Nintendo grabs the Soul Calibur series (with Link) as a second party game and makes a Bravely Default for Wii U. Expect more surprises like this in the future.



Nintendo is struggling to get good third party support since N64 era. Even in Wii they had little third party support except the ones like dance central or COD series. It wont be changing anytime soon.

I wonder how many third party publishers went bankrupt since the N64 launched (1996) till now.



If we're talking about the typical Activision shovelware, Just Dance and such then yes! :/

No. It's against their culture. Just get a Nintendo console and a decent PC.



If we're talking about usual AAA suspects, Nintendo stands pretty good chance if they go with x86, enough RAM and at least 1/3 of MSony 9th gen GPUs.

Not sure they will opt for that path though if they are working on Fusion since that wold require quite beefy specs for handheld too.

Bolded: You mean like when Microsoft did a 180 on the DRM issues and screwed developers, or refused to let Bungie run free in their creative effort, eventually leading to the loss of the most important developer in their roster? Or like Sony and MS refusing to implement region locks for games on their hardware for two generations? Or like when Nintendo forced Dan Adelman off of Twitter and refused him to talk to Indie developers making interviews and rather insisted they talk to the corporate face, being perceived as "locked gate community" and a "brick wall", essentially being more soulless and faceless than anyone else in the console hardware race? Or Sony helping the Indie scene more than any others besides Steam?

Still fighting the good fight I see. I can't believe after all these years that you're still playing the same fiddle and insisting that Nintendo's lack of support is none of their own doing and relies solely upon the 3rd parties and MS and Sony taking it up the proverbial behind. Also still insisting that 3rd party games are of very poor quality and more or less worthless. Nintendo continued the Wii Fit and Wii Sports series and NSMB in the exact same formula, make Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong and Pokemon their go-to franchises and have even started the whole evil DLC thing and resort to HD remakes and remakes in general and you berate others for rehashes and uninspired garbage? Such incredibly old and stylized rhetoric, I find it strange that you get so agitated by people who perpetuate Nintendo myths and generalize when you do the exact same thing yourself about others.

If you want to change your view on 3rd party games; you should buy a gaming PC, it's a completely different world.

 

On topic; no they will not, they're not interested in joining market movements or making the slightest compromise and haven't been for decades. 3rd parties will stay away and Nintendo will be left to carry their consoles alone with extended cost and development time.
