Why would I bother buying Ubisoft games that I don't really care about?

I think it is Ubisoft's job to show why Wii U owners should care about their games. They fucked up with Rayman, I was going to get t until I heard that it was going to be multiplatform - then what's the point of getting excited about a game that is not specially tooled for the Wii U?

Considering that most Ubisoft games are multiplatform that's just something you'll have to deal with if you want their games. And Rayman Legends didn't change because of the delay, so if you don't like the result (it does feature extra content made for the u-screen) then you wouldn't have liked it as a Wii U exclusive either.

If it hadn't been delayed, I probably would have bought it. I don't think Ubisoft has been very convincing in why I should spend time and money on their delayed multiplatform game. If Ubisoft wants more than a few thousand people to be interested in their game, they should be proving why it is good. So far I have seen no marketing, and no non-Internet people are talking about it. On the other hand, I have heard a lot more about Donkey Kong Country TF, and I am going to buy that one.

Watch Dogs, until I entered this thread, I didn't even realize it was going to be on Wii U. A few months ago I recall reading an article saying it had been quietly canned for the Wii U.

I want Ubisoft to prove to me why I, as a Nintendo fan, should be interested in their games. I am not interested in hearing "Buy our games or we won't support your console." I am interested in hearing "The Wii U version of this game is really cool, and we're going to tell you why you're going to want this version more than the other versions."
