I think when people say "Wii U has no games" they're saying "Wii U has no exclusives." I mean it only really had 3 AAA ones at launch, but when you look at it, the launch was far from dry.

We got AC3, Darksiders 2, Black Ops 2, Mass Effect 3, Arkham City, Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed, Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper, so on and so fourth.

Counting all the releases that have already come out this year, like Resident Evil, NFS: Most Wanted U, Injustice, Lego Batman 2, Lego City Undercover, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Game and Wario, Sniper Elite V2 (call it gimped or not, it's still a game.) and more.

So when you think about it, the Wii U "has no games" argument makes no sense, as it already has well over 50 games. The argument should be "the Wii U has no games I'm interested in and games I can get on my other consoles" not something as general as "the Wii U has no games" because that would be implying that the system has 0 games.

You know something funny though? Much like the Wii U, the PS4 only has 3 major exclusives at launch (Knack, DriveClub, and Killzone.) and nobody is saying a single thing about the PS4 having no games. So what gives? The argument makes no sense.


Well why do people buy Nintendo consoles? At least within the past couple of gens it sure hasn't been for third party multiplats. I have a Wii U yet no way am I getting anything but exclusives on the system. People buy xbox and playstation for 3rd party stuff so that's why no one thinks xbone or ps4 have no games.

Nintendo is doing a surprisingly good job trying to change this perception with all the games you listed but they aren't there yet.

 

If a gamer lived in a vacuum and only owned a Wii U their game library would be pretty impressive. However I think it's safe to assume the majority of people buying the system this early are core gamers that also own a 360 or PS3. I'm in this boat myself and from this perspective ya, the Wii U haz no gaemz.
