the seeds have already begun to be planted. Outside of Watchdogs i cant think of any next gen multiplat game thats coming to WIi U and even Watchdogs is cross gen

What next gen multiplat games exist so far? All I know are cross-gen games like FIFA or COD.


When last gen consoles lose the majority of the major support the Wii U can kiss the support goodbye. As I told someone before its blindly be obvious Nintendo is going to bite the dust with third party for coming out with a subpar powered console. Its also an underpowered console with no massive following so the third party doesn't even have incentive to create tailor made games for the Wii U. 

Take heed that one of the lead developers of the Elder Scrolls online said the PS4 and Xbox One were not on the list of consoles to get the game. It was meant to be PC only, but when they found out that the consoles were up to snuff as far as power was concerned they were more than happy to make a console port of the game. The Wii U will NOT get anything because its power is not on par with next gen expectation but rather slightly above last gen and its Nintendos fault for not consulting with third parties when they developed the Wii U. Bethesda said it best I think despite the fact that they do make buggy games, but Skyrim was awesome. 


1. Wii had a massive following and yet fuck all was made tailored to the console. The best Wii games were actually PS2/GCN ports liek RE4 and Godfather. After that it was all waggle controls. 

2. They did consult 3rd parties. The problem here was they consulted EA only with their unprecedented support. EA were prasing the console at E3. Then somehting fell apart which we won't argue on why and what as it has been argued to death. 

 

Nintendo will never get the same third party support even if it had more powerful hardware without doing other things. They need to either expand their studios, buy out some 2nd parties and MONEY HAT 3rd parties to develop exclusives to try and bring people to their console to build up a bigger user base of gamers (not casuals). Basically they need to become what Microsoft was when it launched its console and wanted to establish itself in the market (without the huge losses obviously).  They need to start this now and work on building those relationships for next gen with ignoring EA;s input and listed to developers that matter.
