As a Nintendo fan there aren't a lot of other games that would appeal to me. At the moment the only third party games I'd buy at launch are the NHL games (as a like hockey), some license titles (Transformers, DC and Marvel, some anime), and Kingdom Hearts titles, and possibly Overwatch.
I have tried other properties recently like Mega Man, Bravely Default, Rayman Legends, and Ace Attorney, but that was due to them being on sale.
I just am not interested in shooters and I only have time for so many RPGS.
Am I against trying them, no. I was tempted by some of the more regarded Ubisoft titles during the sale I got Rayman in. However I have no interest in grabbing them at full price.
Pokemon is worth it at full price. Mario is. Zelda is. Smash is. Star Fox Zero is. Splatoon is. I do not have that feeling about a lot of the third party titles.
Often that is because of the gimping. On Wii I had both Marvel Ultimate Alliances. The first was, if less pretty, played well like it's stronger brethren. The second.....yeah that was lazy incarnate. It was shorter than the other version, the story was abridge like a third rate abr series, and the graphics had no upgraded since the first version, years ago.
People talk about how third parties do not try. Watch Dogs being late, Mass Effect 3 releasing late and against the complete collection elsewhere, that above M Ultimate bit.....frankly if they aren't going to try they don't deserve pity points for failure.
And Rayman was originally a Wii U exclusive, so who knows how well it would have sold if it had not been delayed and ported around. Even with what happened to it it still sold .66 million, outselling by VG numbers for the 360, PS3, and XBox1. Only the Ps4 beats it.
Maybe it would have done better than some ugly game with zombies Ubisoft overspent on
The Democratic Nintendo fan....is that a paradox? I'm fond of one of the more conservative companies in the industry, but I vote Liberally and view myself that way 90% of the time?
