Aside from Black Ops II, all those are really late ports. The shorts time frame is about 6 months for Mass Effect 3, which was neutered because EA announced on the other platforms they were putting out the complete trilogy for the same price at around the same time. I would say among the 3rd party titles not named Just Dance, the only one you could add to that list is Assassin's Creed IV as far as near classic game released on the Wii U that was multiplatform. AC III while released during the launch window wasn't that great of a game anyway. Although aside from Phantasy Star Online and Ikaruga which were originally on Dreamcast, all the ones I mentioned were built from the ground up on the GC and later ported. Only Rayman Legends and I disagree but will give you Bayonetta 2 can stake the same claim. |
But it's not as though the only good games on Wii U are first party. Most of them, yes, but I'd contend that's the case for every Nintendo console since the N64.
GCN did have better third party support than Wii U, but I reckon Wii U wins comfortably for first party, and the latter is more important in my view, as that's the primary draw of Nintendo systems, the first party exclusives.
