"Positive Nintendo news!"
*Crickets*


Really people aren't biased against Nintendo. The only note worthy mention here is watchdogs because its potential with the gamepad. The rest of these games are just ports which will probably be identical to the current gen version.

The Gamepad could enhance all four games, and Rayman is ported from Wii U to PS3/360, not vice versa.

Did it enhance Assassins Creed 3?


No HUD and Off-tv? Hell yes. Given a longer development cycle, with finished hardware, ACIV stands to be quite excellent and will definitely benefit from the Gamepad.

In addition to Rayman being ported from Wii U to PS3/360, Watch Dogs is getting a similar treatment. Ubisoft had WD running on Wii U while the PS3/360 versions hadn't even begun development as of March.


OK...so what will do Nintendo when the PS3 and 360 get dropped and next gen consoles are the pure focus?

They will have their first party games, some third party exclusives/collaborations, and downports of PS4/720 games...just like the PS2 did for Xbox/Gamecube games. Watch Dogs is most likely a downport of the PS4 version...which is still a downport of the PC version. That trend will continue.

The Wii U is actually far more capable that most people make out. To keep things simple, it'll be more along the lines of a PC at max settings (PS4/720) vs a PC at medium-high settings (Wii U). I'm not going to get into a whole thing about it, but it won't be anything close to how it was last gen and third parties will most likely not do anything inherently impossible on the Wii U without cutbacks in certain areas. 1080p vs 720p, draw distance, possible load times, less particles, less realistic fog/smoke/whatever etc...but cutting those things down might result in the ability for 60fps over 30fps. Politics and money will keep games off of the Wii U, not power. But this is getting off topic.
