What is Nintendo supposed to do, if third parties aren't really interested in producing trailers and gameplay footage that shows off Wii U exclusive features for their multiplatform games? The problem doesn't lie on Nintendo's end, because Iwata announced in the January Direct that there will be a future Direct that focuses on third party content for the Wii U. A good five months later it still hasn't happened. And if Nintendo wants to show off third party content in their Directs, they basically have to use 360/PS3 footage, because there's no Wii U footage available.

They've been willing to use PS3/360/X1 footage for third party games before, like at E3 2012 and the recent E3 Direct.

Yes, that's what I am saying. Nintendo is doing their part, third parties aren't doing theirs.

But nothing's stopping Nintendo from just using existing trailers or footage from other versions like at E3 2012 to promote Wii U's third party games.
