Publishers ‘Seem More Excited for PS4/Next Xbox Than Wii U’

[Kresnik]

I know this is gonna sound silly, but... I kinda liked the second-rate third party games that Nintendo got...

WHAT!

Hear me out. If Nintendo are going to go third party, they need to go all the way - they need EVERY third party game on board for the Wii-U, so people will consider it their main system where they can play the latest Activision/EA/Ubisoft published title along the first-party stuff.

What they got with the Wii was, as other people have mentioned - second rate ports. But something like that would work better than having a half-arsed third party showing, where some games appear but a lot of big releases skip the console - because at least they are exclusive, and some people would buy them.

I mean, I bought Sonic Colors, FF: Crystal Bearers and The Conduit on the Wii, and generally had a great time with each of them. No, the Wii isn't my main console and these games weren't enough to make it so, but they were a good enough distraction along with the first-parties to make me regularly turn on the Wii when I'm not playing PS3.

Sure, there's a lot of crap third-party stuff for the Wii, but there were a few gems of exclusives in there too - Nintendo just needed to try and convince the third parties to release more of the good stuff.
