The Switch is not another Wii U!

In what world was Wii 3rd party support any good? The best it had was watered down versions of Call of Duty, while missing out on BF3, and all Unreal engine games. Same goes for Wii U - no Borderlands, no Battlefield, no Battlefront, no FIFA pass 2013. These game series have been some of the largest in the past few years, and all were absent from the Wii U...

Wii actually did get good third party support as it had it's own unique library from third parties as well as some multiplatforms, off the top of my head.

Tatsunoko vs Capcom
Phoenix Wright
Red Steel 2
World of Goo
MadWorld
No More Heroes 2
Monster Hunter Tri
Okami
RE4
RE:DSC
RE:TUC
Rayman Origins
DJ Hero Games
Guitar Hero Games
Rock Band Games
Tiger Woods Series
Bully SE
Pro Evo Games
A Boy and his Blob
Silent Hill SM
Cave Story
SSX Blur
Tomb Raider Anniversary
Metal Slug Anthology
Overlord

 

These are off the top of my head and as you see the third party support on Wii was actually quite solid in the end, it didn't get the BF3s and ACs but it made up for those with first party games and a number of exclusive third party games so the library was still quite solid I think in the end I had like 50 or so games on the Wii.

By third party, I was talking about cross-platform titles (hence the list being titles like CoD, Fifa and BF). When you take away the exclusives, it's a very limited list, not to mention a lot of the exclusives fall into the "not mature" category, whereas it's been clear since the days of the PS2 and Xbox that gaming was moving away from cartoon-esque characters. 

Beyond that, that list doesn't include a lot of the largest selling 3rd party titles e.g. GTA V, so it's a list that clearly doesn't appeal to gamers at large.
