Too many game journalists disagree for me to say that's true.

what game journalist has ever said that iOS games have depth, tight gameplay and tight controls like console games? also what iOS games have the length of games like skyrim or the replaiblity of games like CoD or battlefield?

Do you really want me to link to the plethora of blogs and articles in which journalists call for companies, including Nintendo in particular, to focus their business on iOS and other mobile devices? They wouldn't be doing that if they truly believed that good gameplay and tight controls weren't possible on those systems, now would they?

We both know they just want Nintendo out of the way, and this is the easier way to do it than just telling them to flat-out leave and go third party



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

This is a terrible idea since they made the most money this past gen. Even GC made them shit loads of money. Imagine if they made a console that got good/great 3rd party support AND had their 1st party games... Sony and MS would go out of business ;P

And as for Nintendo going 3rd party... That's such a bad idea I don't even know where to begin describing how bad it is. I'll say this: 3rd party games don't sell on Nintendo console because of their games (apparently). Noe, imagine Nintendo games on any other console. This would mean that no one would buy any games other than Nintendo's and 1st party games wouldn't sell at all.

So there's no room for a 3rd party Nintendo since no one else would be able to sell any games at all. THAT'S the next video game crash!!


Let's not get carried away now. Lol.

I hope the other two are more powerful than the WiiU. I don't need a console that is barely more powerful than the currents. Third parties are very strong this gen and they sell more games than ever. Sony makes more first party games than MS yes but most of the appeal come from third party games. Of course some key 1st party games makes people want more one than the other (Halo/Uncharted) but overall COD, Mass Effect, Skyrim, GTA etc are the star of gaming these days. If your console can't properly play those... maybe all you care about are 1st party games hence why I think they should release all of their games on every devices possible.


Actually its already known I have five games on preorder. Just can't buy one of them until january :(

I have mario, tekken (my favourite fighting game), mass effect, assassin's creed and ninja gaiden on hold. Of the rest of the games announced I intend to get need for speed, aliens, monster hunter, pikmin and bayonetta. Plenty of third party games. As for the comment about your games running well, here is a rundown.

call of duty = no idea about it running badly on wii u yet. But it is casuing ps3 hard drives to corrupt, crash constantly, codes not working etc.

mass effect = that is a port and the developers haven't had all the time they need to get used to the hardware. But for what they have they have done a very good job with it. It looks just as good (if not better) than the 360 and ps3 versions.

skyrim = lol bethesda games are buggy garbage on any system. And again, especially ps3.

grand theft auto = no idea how that runs on anything yet. But rockstar have a bad history with games on, you guessed it, ps3.



One more thing to complete my year = senran kagura localization =D

Nintendo won't go 3rd party.
We all know only Nintendo games sell on Nintendo platforms.
It won't sell elsewhere.



nah I think the one loosing the most money should do it not the one making the most!

just replace Nintendo with Sony and I will agree with what you have said!



    R.I.P Mr Iwata :'(

I think Nintendo should give away their games to everyone for free. That's the only reasonable and logical business model approach, because clearly the whole exclusive software on proprietary hardware thing is no longer working, and hasn't worked in the last 25 years.

When will they finally learn?

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

Nah, there's plenty of money to be made in iOS. Look at the most successful iOS game, Angry Birds. It got downloaded a billion times! Admittedly, not all of those downloads were paid, but let's suppose a quarter of them were. That's $250 million in revenue right there. How many Nintendo Wii games managed that? Twelve? Fourteen? And how many DS games did that? Ten?

Making money is obviously overrated and we should donate most of our money to everybody else! Better yet, lets all become communists!
