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



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.


true, but if I was wii only why would I go with a wii-u? I mean the whole poit of nintendo making Wii-U was to compete with 360 and ps3 games yet they still havent even recieved any support like they promised, its another wii all over again in my opinion

It couldn't get any worse could it .

Really though, I don't see how anyone could say WiiU right now is worse off than Wii or GameCube was (with announcements of big third party games anyway).



Well, it IS getting better, but not good enough I'd say. So far it's getting old ports, and later on it'll get ports from last gen consoles... Not very encouraging! After 2014 I see 3rd party support dry up pretty quickly, unless Wii U starts selling like crazy (which is improbable).



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

It is average, but it would not effect my decision to purchase it or not. I buy Nintendo home consoles for Nintendo games. After that everything else is just a bonus.



You must rule out Bayonetta 2 is it isn't third party.

BTW, can someone tell me if Deus Ex is good? The port is being doing by the same team behind ME3 and I'd like to support them for their efforts.

A lot of those games are current gen ports. What you guys need to worry about, is that if it can keep getting 3rd party support after the launch of the Ps4/Next Xbox.



The support for Wii U is light years ahead of Wii. Not even close. Getting just 1 AAA multiplat would put it way ahead. Going forward seeing Watch_dogs, Batman:AO, AC4 and Splintercell getting same-day versions is huge. Resident Evil is also a big deal. EA is the only significant 3rd party that has been overtly negative about the platform really. Assuming CODMW4 is on Wii U, and Destiny also comes, third party support for Wii U will be the best since SNES. Nintendo really needs to get Take Two and Konami on board, and ensure continued support from Capcom and SquareEnix, but even without that the Wii U is way more supported than Wii. Indie games seem good too.

There is definitely some concern going forward beyond the current year or two once PS4 and Nextbox are in full swing, but right now the support is great.



Worstter. It only can go up.



It does seem to be improving. The real test though is when all of the next gen consoles roll out.



The Wii had more exclusives like Red Steel 2, The Conduit, Resident Evil Chronciles, Little King Story, No More Heroes, Grand Slam Tennis, etc.

The Wii U has a few more multiplats of some more mainstream franchises like Call of Duty and Batman and Assassin's Creed.

Depends on which you prefer. If you have a PS3/360 already, then its probably worse for 3rd party suport. If you don't have a PS3/360 then its better than the Wii.
