The Wii U is already getting third party attention. The problem is that the games are the same ones that exist in current gen, so it leaves a question as to whether their message is were making a next gen console or not.

First everyone was talking crap about the Wii for not getting all of the multi-platform games. Now here you come compalining about it getting too many multi-platform games.

No matter what Nintendo does you guys will find fault in it. That is why they just stick to there strategy and ignore what most people say.

I knew the Wii U was getting multiplatform titles. The problem is those games are current gen games when they are supposed to be the first next gen console out. Notice I said next gen. What are they doing to pull over the PS3/360 owners to their console?

The wii u will be able to play multiplats from this gen and next as well as having 1st party titles and exclusives and the wii u pad...if that isnt enough to pull over ps3/360 owners then so be it, i dont see what else there could be though

What do you expect... for Nintendo to ignore obtaining current multiplats?  Yes, Batman will be a year old and Mass Effect 3 and Ninja Gaiden 3 are from March, but Darksiders 2 is coming in August, Tekken in September, and Assassin's Creed 3 is October - not terribly late for WiiU's probable November launch.  In fact, there's a good chance that Black Ops 2 could release simultaneously on all three consoles, and Aliens surely will.  Not to mention that ZombiU and Project P100 are WiiU 3rd party exclusives (so far).

Point being that it would be foolish for Nintendo to ignore housing the current gen multiplats just because it's a next-gen machine.

Precisely.  Offer new hooks for games that are already available - such as Batman's touch screen additions and possible 1080 res - gaining as many current/soon-to-be-released multiplats as it can, while also housing as many next gen games as it can... all while offering Nintendo's 1st party exclusives.  Sounds like a good strategy to me.

The Wii U is going to have the worst ports of all the next gen consoles. The tech alone is enticing me to buy a Wii U but the games are my only issue.

Then we already know who will have the worst ports next gen then. Nintendo needs to focus on great core first party which I know I can count on from them. That will be core reason for my purchase if I do it at all.

To new buyers who dont have PS3/360's its fine. To those who see the current gen multiplats as irrelevant it will hurt.

Who would it possibly hurt?  There is going to be at least another year of 7th gen software on the market; with many games (such as Black Ops 2) being huge sellers.  It would be good for developers (who have another console to port their games to) and good for Nintendo, as it makes their library more robust.

What would hurt is if Nintendo completely ignored current gen multiplats that people want to play or if they completely ignored obtaining any next gen 3rd party games... neither of which seem likely.
