You'd think they would have been using all that time to develop plenty of great first party Wii U games that could keep it going its first 6 months or so. But no, we still have ended up with a total drought during that time. Basically since Skyward Sword Nintendo has only released one other high profile home console title, and that's NSMB U. And that's a fine game and all, but it's certainly not revolutionary and something that used up all that game developing time. So what were they doing the last year and a half or so? Twiddling their thumbs? I know my Wii U will eventually be a worthwhile purchase, I mean just look at the 3DS now, but Nintendo has pretty much put the nail in the coffin for me supporting their systems at launch. I mean there's just no point. |
I think it simply takes time to tranistion from SD to HD development. It's a huge leap and it is taking time. They could have released games sooner perhaps but I think that Pikmin 3 was delayed in order to further polish the finished product. If you spent 3 years developing the game isn't it worth delay a few extra months in order to release a more compelling game? I don't think that it was planned this way but it ended up happening. Nintendo know it's more important for their games to be great than on time. They're not activision. I do believe they are working on a lot of games and once they start releasing games for wiiu there will be a steady drumbeat of great games being delivered.
