| Mr Puggsly said: The only thing you can really blame 3rd parties for is not making the games Wii U owners want. But is it their job to cater to the Wii U audience? No, that isn't necessary when the Xbox and Playstation audience will buy their games instead. 3rd parties aren't beholden to the Wii U audinece. I get the impression you feel a less polished port is by default a "godawful port." I don't think I can get behind that. I've played numerous games on 360 that were more polished on PS3. But I didn't consider them bad ports. I don't consider the Rayman series core games and I feel its aimed at more casual audiences. With that said, its no surprise it did pretty well on Wii U. |
Whole modes hacked off and a terrible framerate qualifies as a godawful port to me, and that's before we delve into the texture bugs and other graphical anomalies. Origins also released a few weeks later than the other versions in PAL.
With a few rare exceptions, third parties simply did not offer quality, timely mainstream products to Wii U owners.
And Rayman may be cute and cuddly, but I'd argue it's too difficult and offbeat to be a truly casual game. Being "core" is not defined by an M rating.
