Exactly, it's not like it's a surprise that real 3rd parties would skip the wii u. If people want the best 3rd party games just buy a different (or second) console. That way they can enjoy their favourite Nintendo exclusives plus all the remaining 3rd party games and Playstation (for example) exclusives as well.

How's that for a novel idea?

Agree! A look at the top lists of all Nintendos consoles show that Nintendo gamers buy Nintendo games. If anything from third parties makes it to the top sales positions it is games like Just Dance, Skylanders or Lego games.
Nintendo, and their fans, are stuck with their "simple" game philosophy where story, graphics and "reality" are sacrificed for gameplay.
(I am a Nintendo gamer and I have to admit that the dark, gritty, realistic games does not appeal very much to me. I can play around in GTA or Assassin's Creed or CoD for a couple of hours but it is nothing I usually want more of. I did play trough all of Red Dead Redemption. For some reason I liked it more than any GTA game. What I personally lack in Nintendo are Console/Semi-Sim racers but I doubt that they would sell well on Nintendo systems.)

Porting difficulties aside, I know Project Cars is a very demanding game and the Wii U might just not be cut to run it. Yet they were confident the game would run smoothly. It's not really a porting problem but more a problem of overconfidence and making promises they can't keep. |
Cant really argue with that.

I think the best bet would have been if new exclusive games would have sold better than the ones released. While it didn`t sell as well, Zombi U did sell the best out of the 3rd party launch games, and it was both `new` and an exclusive game. If more newer games were made with more polish given to them, I think they would have had a better chance of selling better. Zombi U I was interested, but after hearing some reviews, I held off on it. That game I think could have been a great game if given more time on it.
Dance my pretties!

and that game still flopped (the numbers here are overtracked) so surely you must understand why a 3rd party would not want to spend time and money to make an exclusive game with that low install base? Hell they wont do that for Xone and PS4 and those systems are actually selling, let alone do it for WIi U

They've been treating that like the norm for a LONG time. Probably since N64 if they havent changed by now i wouldnt hold my breath things will be different in the future
| spurgeonryan said: Project Cars for instance. If we want it bad enough we will pay for it! What will it cost? Do an indiogogo and let the money add up, or do a kickstarter and give us a real test! The kickstarter indie games are proof we will pay for it. So if companies are worried about making a profit, why not make a profit from the start? Is it really that hard? Could have solved a lot of third party problems over the years! Instead of letting things build up like they did with Project Cars and even Watch Dogs. |
Half the problem isnt Nintendo owners its Nintendo. They are the reason why third party games dont sell so well on their consoles. By absence fans learned to buy their games elsewhere hence why when third parties do show up they always sell less on Nintendo. Nintendo tries to control anyone who dares to put games on their platform unless they give them freedom (which means they trust them). Nintendo fans tend to blame third party when third parties have enjoyed more profit since they've left Nintendo exclusivity (ever noticed?).
Most of the larger devs gave warning at the tail end of last gen that they would need the consoles to have more ram and space than Nintendo even intended on offering. At E3 2012 Nintendo still managed to get a couple on board even after not heeding their requests. As fate would have it (yet again) the plans fell through. I wouldnt doubt its because of another disagreement with Nintendo.
1. That would cause backlash. No big publisher should be kickstarting anything.
2.Although the cost could be negated, its still opportunity cost in terms of their teams time. They could be working on an already paid for Wii U port (nice!) or they could be producing more content for PS4/X1 owners (also nice and probably more important overall)
3. They don't care unless big bucks are on the table

Third parties really did not do anything special. At least most of these ports were decent, but still old. Nintendo should have but did not. Does that mean everyone should just roll over and play dead? |
They should rectify it next gen with hardware+marketing+new DeNA funded online system+starting their console of to a strong start with a great 1st party line up, something Wii U didn't have
Id rather see EA not get money at all than some confused (in my opinion!) customers that still want to give them money doing so with kickstarter.
I guess its okay the way it is.
If we are talking about Japanese JRPGs tho I AGREE!
