Seriously, Nintendo is not THAT Important

Disaster: Day of Crisis never localized here, and aren't the last 2 only published by Nintendo? That would be like calling Titanfall an MS IP.

Still, look what the Wii franchises did for Nintendo. That's 2 IP's in all of Wii's life, not bad, but now I want WiiU to see something.

An American localization or even a Western one is not a requirement to acknowledge the existance of a game. Disaster: Day of Crisis still exists, and there are various ways to play the game if you're interested (homebrew, PC emulation, etc). After all, we're in a global forum, so why should we stick to NA releases only in this context ?

And yes, Endless Ocean and Hotel Dusk are externally-developed IPs, but unlike TitalFall (published by EA), they're Nintendo-owned IPs, published worldwide by them. Similar to Ratchet and Clank (developed by Insomniac), The Order: 1886 (Ready at Dawn), Gears of War (Epic Games), Lost Odyssey (Mistwalker/FeelPlus) or Heavenly Sword (Ninja Theory). Now, given that pretty much all big publishers engage in this practice, how is it justified to single out Nintendo here ? All that matters here is who owns the IP. And if some don't feel like giving Nintendo credit for those IPs, then they should at least apply the same criteria to Sony/Microsoft. No double-standards.

Finally, please read my previous post regarding the subject. There's a list there of many other new IPs produced recently by Nintendo, and there's even more than that...

Well Nintendo also made Captain Rainbow for the Wii in Japan, but what good is that? That's just as beneficial as Animal Crossing for N64. This is being picky, you know I meant that Nintendo needs to make new IPs for Western gamers.

As for Hotel Dusk/Endless Ocean, I agree with you, let's not call Gears of War, Resistance, etc MS or Sony IP's either.

So....looking at your list, that narrows down the Wii games to Wii series and XenoBlade, which is what I said (after you pointed out I forgot the Wii series).

I also want to add something to my original point about Nintendo needing to make new IP's. Nintendo needs to make a new high budget/large audience IP. Something that will sell consoles. XenoBlade and Wii Sports were very nice, but since Nintendo doesn't get the 3rd party support that MS and Sony get, I feel the WiiU needs more.

I would also like to see the return of Starfox, F-Zero, and Earthbound for the WiiU. Super Mario RPG 2 would also be nice, but I don't see that happening. Same with Earthbound, but I can still hope for an Earthbound Collection, much like the Kirby & Dragon Quest Collections Wii saw.
