I hope these 3rd party games aren`t just games for the japanese launch. For example, a Black Ops 2 announcement is needed!


Not, it really isn't. COD is ruining gaming because everyone trying to copy leading to endless stream crappy shooters that try to look like a overdramatic war movies.

Second, we already know its coming to the system. They wouldn't miss a chance to make easy money like that. They even made comments about how it would benefit the game.

 

I'm more interested in the "new" things that can be done with the system, not done to death.


If people copy COD, it`s not COD`s problem. It`s those developers that copy it.
I just gave BO2 as an example, because it`s one of the most important titles that Wii U could have. Specially now that it would have HD graphics and it would be on par with other... at least.

If Wii U can sell 3rd party titles like COD in good numbers i think other developers will be encouraged to develop for Wii U and even make some effort to explore it`s capabilities.


No it won't. The reason devs don't flock to Nintendo is becasue Nintendo doens't wipe theirs arse's with money like Sony and Microsoft do. Nintendo made there dislike of buying exslusives known clearly. Sony and Microsoft dropped 10's if not 100's of million into getting third party titles on their systems.

People weren't avoiding the system beause of power. If that were true the PS2 and PS1 would have had the least amount of games in their generations. People were avoiding it because Nintendo wasn't providing the kickbacks, incentive and freebies that Sony did.

Devs are already making there whoredom to Microsoft and Sony known. EA did it with there "try games on Wii U then bring them to smart glass" statement, SquareEnix did it with there "the current gen has lasted to long" and Epic did it recently with there "We are working with Sony and Microsoft to make the next console a significant leap from the current ones" or something like that. They are writing off the Wii U before it even comes out because they are trying to appeal to Sony and Microsoft. They know those 2 companies will dump a lot of funding into dedicated devs who promote their hardware.

 

Nintendo only needs to worry about four things to keep third party support.

1.Making it where the games play best on their system.

2. Making sure the security isn't cracked so easily(this is really what killed the Wii's third party sales to be honest).

3. Finally, making sure that the consoles stays more significantly more affordable than the next console from Sony and Microsoft.

4. Keeping a large amount of good games coming out for the system. They honestly don't need to be multiplat so long as they are good and there are a lot of them.
