As I said in another thread, that means nothing because WiiU has a short-term strategy. Strong launch line-up to lure the core gamers (which failed), 2D Mario to appeal to the traditional fanbase and Nintendo Land + gimmicky controls to reach as many casual gamers as possible during the holiday season. In January WiiU's momentum will disappear like Cinderella's dress, to never return again because 3rd parties will ignore a system on which they sell nothing.

If WiiU can't get ahead of the competition now, it is doomed. PS3 and 360 have possible price cuts for next year, while WiiU's price was set as low as possible so as not to deter casual gamers. Also, PS3/360 launch comparisons make no sense since PS3 retailed for 599€ at launch, while a WiiU costs half that price. Needless to say, core gamers like 3rd parties will heavily favor PS4/X720, and future known multiplatform games are not coming to WiiU.

Therefore for WiiU, it's now or never. From the sales, it's clearly never.

what are you going to say when the future show something different? lol

In that case I'll simply say I was wrong. It's just my analysis, I may be mistaken.


Wow, seems like you were pretty outraged when you wrote this article. I don´t get the hate for Nintendo in this post though. It is common praxis to have an exclusive character if a game with multiple characters releases on a new platform. I´ll have to agree that using Kasumi as the exclusive character is a little unfortunate though as she already semi-belongs to the franchise, they instead should have added a truly Nintendo-exclusive character like ZS-Samus, that would have fit the WiiU-version better.

It would have been better indeed (after all they put Nintendo-like stuff in Tekken U). Joke aside I would be fine with this if only we PS3/360 owners, who have contributed to the success of the franchise, were given equal treatment. It being a common practice doesn't make it legitimate. Tecmo cannot just ignore the majority of its audience for some juicy exclusivity contract.


I get your point, they really should have added Kasumi as a free DLC character for PS360. This case is unique though, normally those games release at the same time, so 1 excluse character per console is no problem, an exclusive character for only one of them however is.
