The only way the Wii U can be successful is if it has 3rd party development. I've owned the 360, PS3 and the wii and was totally disappointed with the lack of support for the Wii. I'm a person who has been playing games since the Atari 2600, and expected more from the Wii when it was introduced. Now if the Wii U can appeal to core gamer's like the other systems, I might keep my "U." I think Zombie U was a great start to show the power of the system and Nintendo's commitment to get core gamer's. Nintendo has to step outside if the box and utilize some of there in house developers to create a hard core game for the "U" instead of waiting on ports.


If you mean hardcore as in mature content or goring praphics I think Nintendo will never go in that direction.  If you mean hardcore as in challenging game play, intricate and novel level design, or ingame dynamics, then you're still gonna  have to put up with a plumpy plumber here, or a fluffy creature there.  Nintendo's box has too much cash for them to want to risk it all.  Having a goal to appeal to 5-95 gamers is really a recipe for something that is a little sweet, and never too spicy.

At least now, they are letting 3rd parties and maybe even indies come to their platform with less censorship.
