This is one thing that really drives me nuts.
Nintendo has some of the most talented game designers on the planet. Very, very rarely do they ever release a game that's not of high quality.
So if game's like Zombi U and Ninja Gaiden 3 are so important to the Wii U, why is Nintendo "stuck" hoping and praying that the likes of a Ubi Soft team working on a minimal budget and Team Ninja come through with them?
Does anyone really doubt that Retro couldn't make a better "Zombi FPS" than Zombi U? Or EAD couldn't make a better ninja action game than Ninja Gaiden 3?
Nintendo. Please. Sit down. Stop the "we're Walt Disney" act. Even Disney is smart enough to understand they needed a division that could make movies aimed more at adults, so they have the Touchstone Pictures division and also were involved with Miramax (technically meaning Kill Bill is a Disney picture).
Enough with the "we're going to let third parties do their thing". Leaving third parties in charge of your appeal to 14-35+ year olds is a recipe for disaster and always will be if you're Nintendo.
