There has been much criticism of Nintendo everytime a cross platform game skips the Wiiu but I really think that is unwarrented. Looking at where Nintnedo came from they are actually doing a pretty good job of rebuilding the 3rd party support. The Wii got virtually not multiplat games.  A few sports games, sonic games, and some Call of Duty titles. The Wiiu is doing a lot better.  To criticise Nintendo everytime a developer continues to not put the resources into Nintendo is pretty lame. There's no change there. There have been many instances where quality cross platform games which would have eluded the Wii are showing up on the Wiiu. I see them moving in a posative direction in this regard.

Am i wrong here or does the wiiu have a chance to be the best Nintendo 3rd party console since the Super Nintendo? 

 

Here's of list of some first year core games which probably wouldn't have made it to wii or n64 and many wouldn't have made it to cube.

 

Assassins Creed III
Assassins Creed IV
Bayonetta 2
Batman: Arkham City – Armored Edition
Batman: Arkham Origins
Darksiders II
Call of Duty: Black Ops II
Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut
Dirt
Dragon Quest X: Rise of the Five Tribes Online
Injustice: Gods Among Us
Mass Effect 3: Special Edition
Project CARS
Resident Evil: Revelations Unveiled Edition
Tekken Tag Tournament 2: Wii U Edition
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Blacklist
Watch Dogs
Ninja Gaiden

Better then Wii, but that ain't saying much



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles. 

 

Early in the gen it will be decent and then dwindling down to 0 support.

horrible, 90% of those games I can get on my 360 and ps3 and when the new consoles come out I think nintendo will recieve even less support, Good luck nintendo



Its getting a lot better, wouldnt a suprise announcement of GTAV be nice, could it still be a possibility?

NOOOO. They didn't delay the game to port it, they delayed it to escape the whole "Videogames causes violence" drama happening.

It's getting better. But all I care about are Nintendo 1st Party IPs so all that 3rd party stuff isn't that important to me unless it's exclusive. Every gen I buy less and less 3rd party games on Nintendo machines.

Horrible to you yes, but to those people who were Wii only owners its nice for them to get a chance to play games like Batman Arkham City.

Sure, it even could still happen after the game's release. The question is the probability of this happening. I surely would dig a suprise announcement at a Nintendo Direct or Nintendo's E3 presentation, I don't think it will happen, though.

This is a just plan ridiculous comment.  Is PS360 3rd party support horrible because those games are avaiable on other systems too?  No.  They are called multiplats for a reason.
