The funny thing about this is Japanese 3rd parties treat Nintendo consoles like sh*t. Worse than the Western third parties that Nintendo fans always try to scapegoat. What's Konami done for Wii U? Where's Square-Enix? Namco-Bandai, supposedly Nintendo's closest ally, are happy to take contracted projects from Nintendo, but they won't support the Wii U with their own internal IP ... the PS4/X1 get Tekken 7, the Wii U doesn't get a sniff. Then there's Nintendo "loyal friend" Capcom, all they've given the Wii U is two HD ports of existing 3DS games and nothing else. Couldn't even be bothered to throw the Wii U a bone with a RE REmake port (available for PS3, PS4, X1, X360, PC) or Revelations 2, even though the Vita (Vita! lol) gets a port of it. Japanese companies treat the Vita better than the Wii U. At least Western companies kinda tried for a couple of years with things like Zombi U, Rayman Legends, Call of Duty: BLOPS2 (best use of the Wiimote pointer in a shooter), Call of Duty: Ghosts, Splinter Cell, Batman: Arkham, Assassin's Creed III/IV, etc To be honest games like Zombi U, Deus Ex, Batman: Arkham City, Rayman Legends ... while not perfect, they utilize the Wii U tablet better than basically any Nintendo game. |
I agree. Western devs deserve better from Nintendo and Nintendo deserves better from Japanese devs.
From the western side, Nintendo should continue emulating the model they established with Lego City Undercover. Use a developer's existing capabilities to develop exclusives worth giving a damn about. I'm sure Treyarch would be happy to develop a new FPS, and Activision would probably lend them away for a decent price. Ubisoft is full of Nintendo-based talent that really haven't been given the proper stage to really be successful.
I do think some releases like Tekken 7 are a moot point. There's no denying it'd be a technically inferior port -- even things like Mario and Zelda costumes couldn't really gather must interest in TT2 for WiiU.
As for Capcom, seems like everyone's still holding out for a new Megaman...
I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
