They cut Nintendo off because Nintendo refused to listen to them. Nintendo cannot handle most of the games coming out today on the Wii U. They spoke publically about the lowest specs needed to run their games in 2011 and Nintendo still launched the console regardless of the warnings. Even the 360 and PS3 are getting cut off. They are putting their foot down with all last gen consoles now.


what you said and what I said sounds very logical. I mean, specs and the power of the console are one of the main reasons, but if there were 30 million Wii Us out there Wii U  owners would be playing the last gen version of gta v, Assassin's Creed Rogue and the last gen version of shadow of mordor on the wii u. Because you don't need more power than a wii u to run those games.

Nintendo still experienced a lack of multiplatform titles because the Wii was underpowered but because they had sold an amazingly large amount of consoles for the first time third party worked with them. Activision dumbed down World at War for the Wii  and companies actually ventured to create third party exclusives from scratch. Problem is even with 100 million consoles sold the Wii crowd still wouldnt buy most of the core games which spelled a problem. Understandable though because the crowd that bought the Wii were mostly not serious nor moderate gamers. It was the trend at the time. If Nintendo got popular legitimately by wooing the moderate and hardcore as well as the casuals their third party sales would be huge. I say its time to bury the hatchet with third party and just make a console that both companies can agree on like Microsoft and Sony already do. 

NIntendo has the best first party. If they gained proper third party support Micorosoft would not be in second place. It would be Nintendo going toe to toe with Sony.
