I think you have a good point. The thing I loved about the Wii was the motion controls. It was a bit crappy before the Motion Plus, but after that it fixed most of the issues. I though that games that supported the Motion Plus are all really good (Tiger Woods golf, Wii Sports Resort, Skyward Sword, Conduit 2, Red Steele 2).
With the WiiU, the motion plus is now a given. They now really can produce the type of games that the Wii initially promised ... but then they went with the gamepad. Now, don't get me wrong, I really like the gamepad in "core" games like AC and ZombiU, but I have a feeling that most Wii owners are looking for those wild swingin' days with the wiimote.
And where is the golf game for the WiiU? Tiger Woods was one of the best selling games on the Wii, outselling its PS360 piers in spite of being graphically inferior. There are hundreds of thousands of corporate workers looking for a way to make golf in their living room a reality - why is no one tapping this market?

EA owns the license to Tiger woods, and PGA golf EA isnt producing for Ninty. simple
|
It doesn't have to be Tiger Woods per se. Any golf game will do. At the moment, there are ZERO.
|
And i dont see that changing soon. Yes they could make one without the license but that would be like making a football game without the NFL, the amount of people that would be interested in that is small. Your only hope is that Ninty makes a Mario golf game for the Wii U and considering that they didnt see fit to put one on the Wii the system with the dam controller that made the most sense and since they are making one for 3ds (makes no damn sense) im not holding my breath. Maybe theyll buck down and throw it in whatever Wii Sports nonsense they make next.

I don't think they're the same market. People who play FIFA or NFL on a console is looking to recreate the experience of the professional leagues on their gaming console. Golf players are different - they are looking to recreate a realistic golf setting in their living room, where they get to practice their game and pretend to be out on the course when it is actually raining outside. They don't care so much about licensing.

i disagree, i think their is some overlap. Otherwise why havent we seen a non PGA golf game in awhile? The last one i played was on PC and that was in the 90s(it was actally fun). unless they go cutesy ala Mario and hot shots (nothing wrong with that im playing the Vita one now). I can see the practice point, but i would argue even then that the Wii wasnt good for that either as the tech wasnt as good as those golf sims. Now i havent played any post motion+ or have played ones using Move(i will one day) so maybe it got better. Im all for them doing it, i like play golf video games, but i dont see it happening, especially not with WIi U sellig the way it is, a 3rd party would be afraid to try.

You make good points, but you should try motion control golf on Wii Fit with the balance board. The closest to actual golf I've experienced inside my living room. I think if you have that mechanics, with more options for golf courses (and more realistic ones, so here the licensing will become important I guess), I think many corporate types will buy it simply to have golf-like experience at home.
Maybe if Wii Fit U is successful next year, the balance board will become populare enough to target.
|
man, i forgot about the balance board. Ill be honest ive had Wii for awhile and i never got the BB and quite frankly im not going to just to play a portion of a game i dont really want (never cared for Wii Fit or the entire series sans Resort). But Ill take your word for it becasue that sounds like something that works. But therein kinda lies a problem you are asking people to buy yet another add on. I imagine corporate types would already have access to some kind of golf simulation anyway, so I dont see them buying them in droves even for their home.
I think we could put the idea of Wii Fit u being successful to bed, its not going to come anywhere near the sales of the Wii one, the balance board was popular on WIi and barely anything released for it, I dont see that changing for the WIi U especially it doing GC numbers. No dev will take that risk...then again somebody decided to make a full on guitar game sim long after the who GH/RB bubble burst so who knows.
