Let's just say this is real (which I highly doubt it is), Wii U had a lot of great games from Ubisoft at its release. Assassin's Creed Black Flag, Zombie U, and the definitive version of Rayman Legends. Ubisoft could hardly help the fact that no one was buying. This is one of the 3rd parties I have absolutely no problem with. It's the freaking bullcrap EA done (Mass Effect 3 and not 1 and 2), Warner Bros (and the half assed Batman Arkham Origins with no online or last story mode dlc), and all those other companies who half assed ports of their games that ran at worse framerates, looked worse than, and didn't add all the content that pissed me off.

I can only hope and dream that Ubisoft gives half the fuck they gave Wii U early in its life to the NX. It's up to Nintendo to make sure the games sell. 

How can Nintendo make their userbase buy Ubi games? They could help advertise those games and even help porting some titles, but making the userbase suddenly interested is a whole different thing.

 

That's part of the job of Nintendo. Sometimes, third parties don't develop for Nintendo consoles because the userbase is not there.

 

For example, and this is just an imaginary example, to sell RPGs you need to entice the userbase to buy RPGs. Other companies make agreements with third parties, so there are a lot of RPGs to play, but if you have a sparse release, is Nintendo's job to keep busy the userbase between releases.

 

On other words, or Nintendo get a lot of third party support, or they have the job of the third party support + first party.
