Sadly this is only going to add more fuel to the fire of the seemingly-never-ending cycle of:

Nintendo fan - "We're not going to buy your [gimped in some way] game if you're not putting the effort in!"

3rd party publisher - "We're not going to put any effort in if you're not going to buy our games!"

Something has to give. I'm not saying Nintendo fans are wrong for doing this, just that it's very different to how third parties would be treated on other platforms. Even a DLC-less Need for Speed on Vita managed 500k + digital and that was still not good enough for a sequel or even the DLC to come.

I think the problem is WiiU's identity. Quite rightfully, people aren't buying these ports because they can also get the same game on PS360, so unless gamepad features are absolutely key to your enjoyment of the title (or you own multiple systems and the title happens to be one of the ones which runs better on WiiU) then there's just no point. Which makes me question why Nintendo released a system in the way that they did.

Meh. Still a dick move by Warner.

Right on the point. By now Nintendo should realise how big of a problem this has become. Im waiting to see how they handle Bayonetta and Xs release. If they screw those up I'll leave and never look back.
