Tbh those launch titles were ports of older games, Mass Effect Trilogy was out at a cheaper price when the 3rd game hit Wii U, Arkham and Deus Ex were out for over a year and anyone interested in any or all of these games would have already bought them long ago, some of the other games like Injustice never got DLCs of other versions despite being more expensive or Sniper (or what ever it's called) missing half the modes. Minecraft would have helped much better yes but Minecraft is its own subculture it's in the same boat as franchises like Pokemon, 3rd parties don't just need to pay attention to the type of games selling on the platform they need to manage them better and treat the userbase better then what they currently do otherwise just don't bother bringing the game over as the's no point testing the waters with half assed attempts.

If you're only giving late ports, delaying a said version of a game in favour of other versions, missing DLC and modes that other versions have but still charging full price etc... don't be surprised if the userbase never takes a shine to your games.

I know, but imagine that if instead of those titles (Batman AC, Deus Ex, ME3, AC3...) 3rd parties bring games as old as those, but more in tune with the Nintendo audience: Sonic Generations, Ni No Kuni (did it have an exclusivity deal? Wasn't it going to be on the DS too?), an old Tales of title... and if you want western games, why not Minecraft, Dragon Age,  even a port of Skyrim/Fallout from the 360 could have faired well enough. Those titles are as old as the ones that came out for the U, and they probably would have had a better reception. Nintendo just came out of the Move&Touch generation, they had enough money to incentivize some of those titles, but they didn't. And yes, 3rd parties should have brought their titles with the same content and quality as the other devices, otherwise complaining that the worst version of the game sold the worst is unfair.

There's no "more in tune with the nintendo audience". There aren't major preference differences, nintendo gamers (like all others) simply won't buy late games sent to die.
