For example, the Wii was more powerful than the Gamecube, Xbox or PS2 and we still didnt get much good games from 3rd parties because all of the big titles were sent to the HD twins instead. Every big project (assasins creed, call of duty, battlefield, portal, tekken, soul calibur, skyrim, final fantasy, etc) were designed to use the capabilities on the 360PS3 and were never release (or were released with tacked on controls or inferior features) than their counterparts. Capcom saw a great succes with the Resident Evil 4 remake for the wii (it was the definitive version for the majority of people), and what did they do? they dont even care in bringing RE 5 and released the on rails stuff. The same can be said about all the other 3rd parties. I am afraid that with this new generation 3rd parties wont care to release their games to the Wii U :( even thouugh its more powerfull than the HD twins, and as the wii it will get really bad games that wont max out the system. |
The reason the Wii didn't get many of those games is because the Wii used a a graphics system called a TEV as compared to the HD consoles which used programmable shaders. Because of this, developers basically had to rebuild their entire game just to put it on Wii. Because the Wii U and the PS4/Next X will all use modern programmable shaders, porting between consoles will be far easier and less costly than downporting to Wii was last generation.
