| RolStoppable said: Why does Nintendo get the blame for the lack of third party games? The Wii U gave third parties the horsepower and the controller to port over all of their PS360 games with ease. Their upcoming ones as well as the opportunity to sell collections of older games. But not only did we see barely any games from third parties at this E3, some of the big publishers aren't even present in the launch window. The lineup looks even worse when you consider Japanese publishers. It's time to accept that third parties do not want to develop for a Nintendo home console. The Wii wasn't shunned because of its specs and its controller. It was shunned for being a Nintendo system. The Wii U proved it once and for all. |
Rol, we were told Nintendo would seriously cater to the core. What we saw was a half-assed result.
You're asking the question of why. I don't know. I really don't know. Is it possible that Nintendo hasn't tried hard enough? How is it that Ubisoft shows Splinter Cell as a high profile game on the 360, but not on the more powerful WiiU? What is going on??
It's possible that Ubisoft will never ever want to offer their high-profile games on the WiiU, but then how come we got ACIII?
If you answer this, I'll offer more thoughts.
But remember, I am predisposed to believe that Nintendo has the power to make change, however they are not taking the steps required to lay the foundation to solid, reliable partnerships. Something is stopping them, and from what I expressed about the Iwata asks, project Rainfall and Reggie's uptightness and over-glorifying of useless things ("Netflix will change your life"), I'm not disposed to believe they have taken the fundamental measures in order to be successful in their plan.
