Forums - Nintendo - 3rd Party Games you'd enjoy playing on Wii U

In essence I want to Pitch a Wii U game to a 3rd party publisher

Lets try to suggest games we believe will actually sell (sorry Zack & Wiki) , as well as make good use of the new controls.
When suggesting a game, please explain how Wii U can add to the gameplay.

Basically this thread is in case any publishers are lurking on the site for fan feedback

Here are a few of mine, to start things off, I'll add more as they come to me.

 

Ghostbusters!

I'd love to see a continuation of Red Fly's cartoon game on Wii. Controls would be wiimote and nunchuck for the backpack and proton stream, Upad for the ghost trap! Then you could capture ghosts on the TV with the wiimote and drag them into the Upad's screen. You could hold on to them or release them later to solve puzzles. Meanwhile you'd get some hilarious animations of ghosts squirming inside the trap

Other features could include using the Upad to drive and operate the car, using the Upad as a scanner for ghosts, etc.

 

Red Steel 3/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

I don't mean this as a cross over of course

Red steel 2 had a satisfying combat system, it's a shame because that they nailed the controls in the sequel but it didn't sell as well as the original.  Id love to see a third game in franchise where they could spend more time on level design and story. Multiplayer would be more than welcome too.

The catch to help it sell is this: the game's visual style as well as the whole east meets west motif really reminded me of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Since Ubi seems to have the rights to that IP, I always thought it would be smart to have a "Red Steel 3" game in that universe. 

Controls would be mostly the same as RS2, using a sword and gun with motion plus and a nunchuck. I don't think this game would have to make truly unique use of the new controller in order to sell. Four player local multiplyer would be great, and certainly Wii U has enough power to pull this off. If developers still wanted to include asymmetric gameplay, they could have one player as a turtle in front of the TV, and another as a villian on the WiiPad blasting lasers that the other player would have to deflect and such.



Until you've played it, every game is a system seller!

Instead of piling on a bunch of shovelware, how bout Nintendo pile on a bunch of good PC games that have been missed over the years. Anything over the past ten years. A bunch of strategy would be nice. Also the PC has a lot of options, so this would go a long ways. That would mainly be in download form unless they sold it for cheap in disc form.

90 percent of shovelware needs to be in app/game form. Do not waste consjmers time and money making them spend anything over 5.99 for a shovelware title. The other ten percent is for shovelware that's actually mildly fun.

As for games:

Starcraft 2 - strategy games seem like they would be easier to manage with a touch screen.

Give the conduit another try now that it has the wii pad to help it out.

The Last of Us- The Wii U can handle it, and that behind the back view would come in handy.

You're mistaken if you think The Last of Us can be played on the WiiU. There is no denying WiiU can run current gen multiplatform games. But PS3 exclusives are something else, they're in a whole different league. Optimized for the PS3 console, they utilize th3 C3ll processor to its fullest.



I honestly think that Zombi U's going to be very cool. Scanning things with the Gamepad look to be well done. I also, think that it will sell pretty well since it's a launch game.

Ryan, why did you list The Last of Us?



I've said it numerous times already but I'd love to play Fatal Frame with the WiiU pad.



Would love to see Final Fantasy Versus XIII on the Wii U or any new FF games on the console. The FF games that appeared on the Wii were not the best titles... Also would love to see Tomb Raider. I mean how sick does the game look?!
