What about 12?


That doesn't sound like very many to me. For comparison's sake, the Wii had 15 in 2011, a notoriously bad year for it.

Why do you think the Wii U will only have 11 such games for the rest of the year?


Critics are more harsh nowadays than ever. On top of that, WiiU tends to get the gimped version of multiplatform releases - if it gets a release -, and critics out of randomness tends to score the WiiU version worse. Hence if we're judging things over Meta, I don't see it making it past twelve, but I could be wrong.

 

You mention indie games, but outside exclusive ones for the WiiU, indies hardly ever get reviewed on the WiiU version, making Metacritic for such console moot. And just because a game is indie doesn't mean it has to score great, so developers really have to step up against adversity.
