It's November 21st 2016. The NX is out and more powerful than the PS4. Are 3rd parties on board?

The objective of this ports is not bringing new consumers to the Nintendo console from the get go, it's proving that the Nintendo userbase can substain and support some kinds of genres. After proving that, you could bring newer games to the system from those genres, and that would bring new consumers to the console.

true but that didnt work and i dont think it will. If they are not bringing in new consumers to Ninty that means those games arent being brought, cause its clear that the Ninty fanbase either doesnt care about those games or they have a platform to play those games already. What do you do? Cause its clear that the system cant support some genres, i cant remember the last time a saw an FPS or openworld game on Wii U and those are the most popular genres right now.

Was Far Cry Vengeance for the Wii open world? Not the best example (38 Metacritic score) but it's the only one I can think of. :P

But if Nintendo doesn't try to solve its 3rd party problem, they will always be alone, and with developing cost on the rise and they not really expanding their teams at the same speed, they are going to be overwhelmed in a generation. They fusing their HH and HC effords is a good idea, but just a momentary solution.

Either Nintendo grows to fill the gaps of their lineups, or get enough 3rd party support to do so. They don't need PS level of support, getting 1/3-1/5 of the AAA games Playstation gets would be enough to fill a good schedule.
