Like the PS3 for the first half of it's life, and to a degree to this today, Wii U is getting lumped with crappy ports because devs aren't putting in the effort of optimizing for it.


99% of the ports are inferior to the original version.  

Asking for ports to be as good or better than the original game is almost contradictory imo.

99%, no. That would require there to be 200 ports,  which there aren't.
How's it contradictory? Trine 2 and Need for Speed did it.


I wasn't talking only about WiiU, ports in general tend to be inferior versions of the original games.

In that case, I agree with you.

I bought the Wii U for Nintendo first party and second party titles. I have a ps3 for 3rd party and 1st party titles. We need to accept because Nintendo is so powerful on their home consoles we'll rarely ever get effort put forth on games on their systems.

But it's been debunked numerous times!

Link me or explain, please.

I was being facetious.

How? What stopped them just releasing trilogy, especially when ME1 and 2 weren't on Wii/Wii U?


All the excuses of ME3 on WiiU could be applied to ME2 on PS3 when it released.  Other platform has cheaper version, despite the late port having more content than the other when originally released.

Releasing just ME3 on Wii U at full price when Trilogy came to PS3/360 and ME3 was cheap as hell on those systems was a recipe for failure. That's not good support. Imagine if PS3 got ME3 at full price, months late, when 360 got Trilogy?


People would have been very pissed, but it would have sold at least 750k regardless.

750k on a userbase of 77m consoles. Wii U only has a 3m userbase, so its sales of 50k for ME3 are in line with your PS3 prediction in terms of attachment rate.

Heheh, I saw this video just earlier today and thought of posting it.
Aside from that video, ReviewTechUSA knows his shit. I recommend watching his stuff.

wasn't he the guy who claimed that all Wii U games would be 1080p and 60fps?


well, all E3 Nntendo games were running at 60FPS, that is actually tougher to get than 1080p. Now they still have time to optime those games. 

I don't see your point.

I buy a Nintendo console only to play exclusive games. I don't care if they are 1st, 2nd or 3rd party. I just see no point in buying an inferior version of a game, when I can just buy the better version for PS3/4. What Nintendo should do is to talk to 3rd parties and secure exclusive games. They should moneyhat as many games as possible. Sony should be doing the same with Vita. Your system is struggling, so go ahead and pay for the damned games to breathe some air into these consoles!



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

if you need to put side by side to see the difference I wouldn't call it inferior. and how about people who owns a wii u only buying game versions for wii u just like ps4 owners will buy for their console?

Do you really need to put side by side Wii and PS360 games? Or Wii U and PS4 games? Cause I don't.

If you're talking about PS360 and Wii U multiplats, then I think I'd actually choose the Wii U version to be able to play off screen, but the thing is... I do own a PS3 and I don't own a Wii U. So far I can't see enough incentives (i.e. exclusives like Bayo 2, ZombiU, X, Metroid Prime, Zelda, MK, etc.) to buy it and multiplats certainly won't convince me.

I'm just talking about myself, not Wii U exclusive owners. Though I get what they feel, cause most of this gen I only owned a Wii and bought my PS3 only last year. But now I know it's pointless and the best solution is to buy a Sony/MS console and the Nintendo console.

I'll say here what I commented on the video:

I feel sorry for the naivety of the guy in the video. He still thinks the CEO's and the engineers in those companies are just that stupid.

He doesn't realize that it's not about testing the waters. It's about giving investors an excuse to never have to develop for Nintendo again.


What's the motive?

A 'pure' industry dominated by big corporations that suits third parties needs and industrial vision for gaming.


So Nintendo doesn't suit 3rd parties needs?

Third parties want hardware makers that pays for their development and are easy to manipulate.

Nintendo is customer focused and not industry focused, so they naturally hate Nintendo.



I LOVE ICELAND!
