Gaming - WiiU launch ports - View Post

Does anybody here agree with me when i say the WiiU has had some pretty decent launch games?

Let me elaborate..Wii owners were generally mocked last gen when they wasnt getting great blockbuster titles like Batman Arkham City ,Mass Effect etc. Fast forward to WiiU launch, and from day one games such as the above mentioned along with Darksiders 2 were available at launch. These games were well received when on PS360, but when they hit WiiU suddenly they become old hat and nothing but old ports. I find these comments a little unfair on people who were Wii only owners, who are now experiencing these types of games for the first time. A good game is a good game, and as the saying goes "better late than never".


Here is the thing. They became old ports and irrelevant, because they were not going to be big sellers. I'm just saying that the games might still be as good as they were or even better,  it is the sales part which people are more interested in. Nintendo fans say that they are old ports because it is an explanation for low sales compared to other competing consoles. People who are interested in console sales say that they are old ports, because they are not going to push much hardware. And finally, butthurt fanboys say that they are old ports.. well because they are butthurt.
