But will we get those games, or will the bias persist into the next generation?



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

This is funny, its exactly WHY the "lost" the hardcore is because they were missing Elder Scrolls, COD games that werent even as good the others, or missing. No Battlefield, Street Fighter, Tekken, Batman, GTA, the list goes on and on.

Cant see why your complaning, you said that you dont even like most of those games anyway, you want them on Wii U for...what? Just to say they are on Wii U? If i were a dev i wouldnt want to put it on the system either, not with attitude



Well, he's right. Until N64 "hardcore gamers" were on Nintendo's side, playing the hell out of any game, easily breaking the 1000 hours playtime and breaking records and highscores.
Why shouldn't the Wii not have hardcore gamers? They may not be the same as in the past but there are still people who play a lot. And by a lot I mean breaking the 1000 hours again. I know lots of those people, mainly those who are still around and started with N64 in the highscore scene.

Nintendo actually never changed. Just the people and former fans.
Take a look at the boxes of the old consoles. They were all about family, multiplayer, etc.
Wii also is.
You could argue games became easier. But saying there are no hardcore gamers on Wii (not necessarily the same as in the past) is just another lame statement using cool words.

It's a matter of principle. Plus it's not like many of those games wouldn't make perfectly good filler between games i know i want, and who knows? I could be surprised. It's just good for the health of the platform to have more games either way

yep, because no one logs in that much hours on any other type of console. THere are no local MP games on the other consoles. Please.

Reggie misses the point with his first statement it doesnt matter how much hours one logs in. YOu could log that much in solitaire. 

Its about the games, which WII missed alot of, but they seem to be fixing that

principles dont pay bills. This is a buisness. If most Nintendo fans feel like you(thank god they dont), then devs arent going to want to do anything for you, period. Especially if there game is selling like gangbusters on other systems.



i totally disagree with Reggie
CoD are better on the Wii, cause the Wiimote aiming is far more enjoyable than double sticks imo



Well it doesn't seem like GTA is coming to Wii U, based on that other thread.
