I've seen the reviews of Darksiders, Arkham City, Devil May Cry, ect.

1.They are ps360 ports to the WiiU - fact
2.They are getting worse scores than the originals - fact
3.They don't cater to the core audience that don't
want to be forced to use the gamepad - fact

What were you saying?

Good job tracking down those elusive DMC reviews from, what, 2008? There was no DMC release this year for any console, including Wii U. Already making me distrust your post, since this means all of your "facts" are at least 1/3 false.

Your first point is pretty much completely irrelevent. It relies on the negative connotations of the word 'port' to spin the fact that Wii U is finally getting multiplat third party support into a criticism.

Your second port is somewhat true if you go by Metacritic, I suppose. Some sites like IGN are giving them the same scores as the other versions, so while not really an improvement, they may be equals.

Your final point is ridiculous. Darksiders doesn't force you to use the gamepad -- it can be played with the Pro Controller. This reinforces my doubt that you actually did read the reviews you mentioned. Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, Mass Effect, and Ninja Gaiden can also be played with the Pro Controller. I'm pretty sure the sports games can, too. It seems most games do NOT "force" you to use the gamepad.
