Nintendo obviously doesn't care about the VGA's, but Sony does. So, where were the Vita games? Oh that's right, Vita has none. And since that's the status quo we don't even need to mention it anymore, it's just business as usual.

Did you just acknowledge that WiiU and Vita were in a comparable situation?


Concering the VGA's, yes. This thread just makes it look like the Wii U is in a darker place than the Vita.

VGAs have never put emphasis on handhelds lol...


Bu-bu-but the Vita is special, it has the console experience. No?

Moderated,

Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

Vita is a handheld.

Now, Wii U is a console that was supposed to help Nintendo grab the 360/PS3 gamers. That doesn't look to be happening.


We are not even 1 month into the Wii U's life and this already happens. We can only see if the Wii U managed to "grab" PS360 gamers when MS and Sony's next consoles release. Using the VGA as a clue of how the Wii U will do when Nintendo has never shown anything at this show is just stupid.

I am almost becoming provoked into making a response thread to these but you are unlikely to listen so I don't see the point. You and soundwave have made these topics despite admitting you don't own wii u so why is it even a concern of yours?

Who am I supposed to blame for this? Nintendo for making developers not say anything? People being greedy and expecting everything to come at once? It is far far too early to base any kind of future for third party support on this system. For what we are getting in the first 4 months we are being spoiled for choice.

If you really care like you claim to wait and see what happens. Sony have been heavily criticized for announcing/showing games way too early and some failing to appear later. Maybe nintendo is doing this on an "as you go" basis and revealing games as they are ready. Did you consider that?

People keep bringing this up but you are comparing wii u to 360 and ps3 and not 360 2 and ps4. Of course consoles with long established marketshare will get the majority of multiplats next year. It doesn't mean every multiplat will miss out and it also doesn't mean some of those can't show late to the party. We don't know anything about what will happen until at least mid 2014. By then the others will have had time to be established and we will get a better idea of how wii u fits into this as well.



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

Nintendo games are never the talk of any VGA show. Its mostly big budget titles but this year was a breath of fresh air with the downloadables.

Publishers are doing the 'wait and see' approach. If the Wii U sells well enough they'll arrange a port in fairly short order or if they get incentives from Nintendo, ditto. An announcement is a commitment which means spending money and they don't have to make any announcements.

There is also multiple years going into dev cycles, and I am sure games coming out now weren't planned for the WiiU.  I am sure games in the planning stage now are planning on the WiiU also.

The PS3 got ports late into the development cycle. Maybe they consider it to be not as worthwhile or perhaps there are some other difficulties in porting which makes ports less than a no brainer.



Tease.

Sony is bankrupt. Nintendo won't go bankrupt manufacturing Wii U's.

So theres that.

Yeah, how about this on-topic post. Lol, you seriously had nothing better to say?

OT: I wouldn't worry about the VGAs that much personally. Hopefully Nintendo will work some more with 3rd parties, but don't expect them to get most of the games like PS4/720 will.


Who's to say that the Wii U won't be the lead console much like the PS2? Nintendo haters or jumping the gun thinking the next gen will be like the current one.

Take off your blinders because it's already happening.

I really need to take off blinders because they are preventing me from seeing that the PS4 and 720 are out and we are well into the next gen. They must be getting the 3rd party support and none for the U.

I've had a different impression of you from the vita thread. I guess i was wrong about that. He's the deal. Nintendo has said they are fighting for the ps360 crowed. And it they want to do that, a good first step would have been showing something to the millions of people in that crowed that tuned in for that show. They didn't do it. Even one game would have been good. Just one to get those people interested. If Nintendo want to compete for the larger market share, Yes ps360 combined is a larger market than the Wii. They need to make move's like this. To keep these people interested. They aren't watching Nintendo direct, they are watching the VGA, E3, Comic con, TGS and Gamescon. This is where they need to catch their fish.



Well, looking at Nintendo's terrible E3 2012 conference we would have assumed that there was no Black Ops 2, Madden or Fifa coming either. And E3 is a far more prolific event to make announcements than the VGAs...

Nintendo has been weird with news about WiiU, having their own events and Nintendo Directs to do reveals. I'm not saying big games like Infinite and GTAV are definitely coming and just haven't been announced yet, but no reveals from Nintendo at the VGAs of all things really doesn't mean much regarding a lacking lineup for 2013.

Wii U is competing right now with PS3/360. It's not even the lead console there so what makes you think it will be the lead console for next gen games? 

It just came out. How are you expecting it to be the lead console of this gen? However, next gen will be different in that all three consoles will more than likely be using similar architectur of using GPGPU instead of heavy CPU usage that we see this gen. By then the U will have a solid user base and be the most familiar with developers. All could lead to the U being the lead console and games being ported to the PS4 and 720. His is quite possible.
