I don't see it happening for two reasons: First, taking the time to completely reskin or change the artstyle of the game would take too much time and resources in the eyes of the publishers, and they could easily just release them on PS4/XBone as special editions. Second, most of western titles have as a selling point how hyperrealistic they look, and people buy them for that. People who try to avoid games that look cartoony will just keep ignoring the system.

WiiU won't make a turnaround, at least not for western developers. If Nintendo made extra effords in Japan (Youkai Watch U, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Monster Hunter U), they could expand their userbase with fans of those kind of games, but there's no hope now for the FIFA-CoD-AC-Battlefield audience to pick up a WiiU. Better luck with that on the NX.

thats pretty much the same that im thinking but in my opinion my idea would be a workaround.

Many western gamers care just about "the most realistic graphics".

But I doubt those people are on the wii u. People on the wii u do like cartoony and "fun" looking games and prefer them. Splatoon sold awesome as an example.

 

So even if they would release this cell shading graphics on ps/xbox i doubt it would be sucsessful there. But it would be sucsessful on wii u.

Cartoony looking games (like plants vs zombies) did pretty bad on these plattforms (compared to battlefield 4, call of duty etc.)

But Splatoon did very good on wii u compared to call of duty.

That is true, but western developers barely push their cartoon-esque IPs compared to the "hardcore" titles. Activision already has Skylanders on the U, Ubisoft made Rayman Legends for the WiiU. They don't really make that many games that would attract the WiiU audience, or at least, they don't focus on them because their other franchises are so much more profitable elsewhere. EA has a lot of cartoony, family friendly titles, but they are still boycotting the WiiU due to Nintendo not accepting their Origin deal.
