That's a long post about personal taste, so there isn't much to say about it. You like those Sony games you mentioned in the OP (although I am not sure if you really play Gran Turismo), you have your reasons for liking them and because of this you want Nintendo to make such games as well. I understand that. You've made similar threads in the past (about what you want from Nintendo).

But... let's stick to things that can be measured objectively. In your previous post you said this (emphasis: mine):

The WiiU strategy is not fail-proof. It will be missing the lion's share of exclusives in the category of darker games aimed at the segment unless something is done right to fix that. My assumption here is that the exclusives would be of higher quality. Also, apart from the AAA multi-plats in your post, some 3rd party multi-plat games lack depth. For instance many are pure violence and lack the depth and emotion of the games mentioned in OP (ie Serious Sam, Duke Nukem). Having only multiplats is not enough.

So I asked you what these exclusives are. You didn't answer.

I don't think it's fair to brush it off as personal taste, as many here claim that Nintendo has the best IPs, which is also based on personal taste then iiuc.

For the question, I remember you asking it I guess I must have missed it.

So, the way I see it, at the moment we have Bayonetta 2, DQX, MH3U, ZombiU, Rayman Legends, Wonderful101 and whatever I'm forgetting. It's a good start I guess. So, I'll take that back. Your point Rol.

Edit: The remaining question is, is this enough to prop up the prestige of the WiiU? Possibly. Would adding some 1st party games to the mix with the qualities (properties) of the games in OP help prop up the console's prestige? Definitely, but by how much, we don't know since the U has yet to launch. However as a Nintendo fan that is what I would like, because I know it's something they're capable of. Anything that will make them stronger and make games that a wider variety of people would like is a good thing. And oddly enough the minority of gamers that like the games I do are pretty vocal and contribute to important word of mouth (negative and positive).

@GT. I played the 3rd one mostly and really liked it. I would recommend the series to any prospective buyer.
