Forums - Nintendo - So No MGSV For Wii U Either. Where's All This Japanese Support We Were Promised?

Pointless thread.

Metal Gear Solid entries have mostly been Sony platform exclusives for the past decade in Japan. This will not change.

Nintendo already has DQ and Monster Hunter on the Wii U from Japanese studios. More will come; one needs to be patient as games take time to develop and publishers need the necessary install base in order to recoup development costs from their games.

Furthermore, Japanese support for Playstation 3 was not apparent until the release of Final Fantasy XIII - 3 years later after the release of the console. Can people give the Wii U some time before they write it off completely?


Capcom supported the PS3 from the start, Namco, Konami (MGS4, Pro Evo, Silent Hill Homecoming) , Sega (Sonic, Yakuza, Virtua Fighter, Valkyria, Virtua Tennis , etc), NIS (Disgaea 3), Tecmo...

Indeed. I would say the Wii U has the worst Japanese support in its early days from Japanese third parties. 

The 360 even had stuff like Ridge Racer and Dead Rising early on.

If we are gunna make a thread for every multiplat game that doesn't make the WiiU then this websites going to be a very sad place...


They need to stop being disappointed. I warned them about this months ago when we saw the Wii U's specs and already got an indicator of what third parties wanted. Nintendo will be about the exclusives so Nintendo owners have nothing to worry about when it comes to getting their core nintendo fix this gen. Its definitely not going to be the console the Wii was and thats both a blessing and a curse.

Yep  they'll get a few this year and some next year, but once the devs move to next gen they will leave ps360 and the WiiU behind.

Ouch. Looks like Wii U is getting the wii treatment. Anyone shocked?

Well, they still haven't spoken about the next gen versions which are obviously in development. Theres a small chance they'll announce the Wii U version alongside the ps4/720 version.

Poor Wii U owners they aren't getting any major 3rd party games. I think devs are waiting for sales to pick up on the platform before they commit to it. Que Nintendo get some damn games out to boost console sales otherwise where looking at another GameCube.

Promised by who? Perhaps kowenicki? I remember him saying that Nintendo will dominate Japan.

Metal Gear Rising not coming to the Wii U doesn't have anything to do with Platinum Games. It's Konami's decision; a company that has stayed clear of Nintendo home consoles for a long time now.

Anyway, I for one am shocked that a Nintendo console that is powerful enough to run any PS3/360 multiplatform title gets hardly any of said titles.

Developers feel too comfortable with the combined ps3/360 userbase. Really I blame Nintendo for not securing any big 3rd party titles for Q1, even if it meant financing it themselfs. If Tomb Raider, DMC, MSG Rising or Bioshock came to the wii U on time, I'm sure it would sell enough to convince 3rd parties thats ports are worth their effort. 

Instead 3r parties only have Assasins creed and COD. AC was late and COD has too strong of an emphasis on multiplayer.

Bioshock would have been the Ideal game to demonstrate that the Wii audience are hungry for Quality and mature 3rd party experiences.

Only a fool would pay for the same treatment others get for free. Third parties didn't need anything to start making PS4 and 720 versions of their upcoming games despite not knowing anything about how those platforms will perform early in their lifecycle.

I highly doubt we'll ever see Snake in a smash bros game again. The companies just really have nothing to do with each other at all.


He's my favorite :(

I'm confused. Did they say it's not coming to Wii U?
