True. Nintendo needs to end this droughts, they are killing their hardware bussiness. I hope that sharing the libraries will allow them to speed the software production up.

I disagree on the Wii part. The Wii had a lot of support, tons, in fact. But 3rd parties saw the potential of that casual audience and dedicated way more efford on shoverlware and motion controll-based minigames rather than on the core experience (and looking how well the former ones sold compared to the latter, and how quick and cost-effective they were, that',s not surprising). After the Wii was replaced, we can find tons of good core games (Mad World, No More Heroes 1&2, Little King's Story, Dead Space: Infestation, Red Steel 2, The Last Story, Pandora's Tower, Rayman Origins...), but back in the day, they were massively overshadowed by the rest.

Software isn't going to produced faster, but redundancies will be eliminated (they won't need to make two Mario Kart games) and the perceived amount of software that is produced will go up. There actually won't be more games, but without them being divided onto two systems, people will view NX a lot differently than previous systems.

None of the Wii games you listed were worth $50, except for the two first party titles you smuggled in. Casual games didn't have a higher success rate on the Wii, but third parties were first and foremost in for the quick buck to subsidize development of their HD games for PS3 and 360; Ubisoft even straight up admitted it. There was no honest intent to build lasting relationships with consumers and the software output of most publishers clearly shows that.

 

Whether they were worth 50 or not is your opinion. Casual games didnt have a high sucess rate? Are we gonna ignore stuff like Raving Rabbids, Carnival games, Zumba Fitness, hell i think that Jillain Micheals game did a quarter mil, Just Dance is the only game still selling on Wii year in year out. It doesnt matter why they were made, the numbers speak for themselves and those games were made with less budget than the ones you deemed werent worth 50 bucks.
