Safe To Say 3rd Party Support From Wii U Is Pretty Much Gone?

Yeah. There's not a whole lot on tab. It's still getting a belated port of Watch Dogs, but after that Ubisoft is probably going to only bother with Just Dance. AC Unity is PS4 and XBO only, and FC4 isn't coming to Wii U, either. Activision may still release COD. Sega has given Nintendo a decent amount of support, and we might see some WB titles as well (mainly Lego games probably). We still have Bayonetta 2 on tap, and we might still see other games from Platinum occasionally. Overall, it's the same situation with the Wii. The Wii U did get a bit more early on, but that's because it's easy to port games released for the PS3 & 360 to the Wii U. But I already knew it was a matter of time before third-party games became less frequent. The Wii U just isn't a powerful enough piece of hardware, and it was obvious that once third parties started focusing mainly or entirely on the PS4 and XBO that we'd be back to Wii-level third-party support.

Had the Wii U been just as powerful as the PS4 and XBO, this wouldn't be a problem. It's a great system with lots of awesome games, but third parties have shown that for the most part they have certain demands about hardware, and Nintendo has consistently failed to meet those demands. First it was format with the N64 and GC, then it was low specs with the Wii and Wii U. If I've said before, I've said it a hundred times, but Nintendo won't ever get the full support of third parties until they make a powerful, conventional console, preferably one with a standard gamepad as the primary controller and one with a robust online infrastructure.

no we arent back to wii level of 3rd party support. Not even close. Wii U isnt even getting all that shovelware. Its actually worse
