I'm still on the fence about it, I have never cared for pikmin and I'm getting kind of bored with 2d Mario games. The rest of the launch titles are mainly just ports, but I'll get one when they bring out a new zelda or metroid for sure =D


I would say there's more MULTIPLATFORM titles than ports... I thought the same too about Mario but it is just so fun that I always fall for him.... I want ZombiU soooooo bad!!!!!!!!

Yup, I've seen plenty of people on other forums who's interest has been piqued by ZombiU. For my money the U is going to have several system sellers at launch or soon after launch - NSMB U, Pikmin 3, ZombiU and Lego City Undercover around launch and Aliens Colonial Marines early next year. I'm expecting the Wii U to have sold around 10-15m units by the time the PS4 and 720 launch (assuming they both launch the same sort of time next year), and the sales of ZombiU, (possibly) Assassin's Creed 3 and definitely Aliens Colonial Marines combined with the fact that Nintendo have chosen a similar architecture to the PS4 and 720 will see that it will continue to get multiplatform games next gen too.

It's a shame that Nintendo decided not to scrap Gamecube backwards compatibility this gen and have a GPU with programmable shaders otherwise the Wii could have been the PS2 of this gen with regards to multiplatform titles. Contrary to popular belief the power of the Wii wasn't the main thing stopping ports of the big name titles, it was the TEV Unit in Holywood (and Dolphin before it in the Gamecube).

I can see the U being the lead SKU for multiplatform titles next gen and supplying up-ports to the PS4 and 720.

That, WiiU already has several interesting games that could totally become a hit! And most are targeted to the core audience or both, the new and the core! Yeah, same here, just like the PS2 was, it's the best way developers could work being the U easier and cheaper to work with!
