Now i know one more game Curl is exited for next year other than Xxxxxxx and witch with short hair of course. Black Ops 3!

Only if it's on Wii U; Wiimote controls are a must for me. ;)

I'm also really looking forward to Yarn Yoshi (I loved Kirby's Epic Yarn) and Mario Kart 8 next year.

Looking forward to playing MK8 with some of the vgcharterz. Yes, Kirby's yarn. I am trying to track in down. 

I am very ignorantly biased against motion controls for fps vs dual stick controls. I respect that others might find them better and more enjoyable. So yea i hope we get BO3 on Wii u and motion controls are supported.

And people wonder why it rarely recieves third party games

Rayman Legends sold most on Wii U despite its 200/300% smaller user base. What now?

WiiU owners are just more into platformers than action/stealth games. And it doesn't make Legends a huge success either.

Anyway now Ubi has no reason to port the Crew or the Division, let alone that it won't be a straight port anymore.

not to mention that the WII u version of Rayman isnt even the best selling one.

You're right, I hadn't noticed the PS3 version was ahead. Even the Saki visual novel on PSP outsold it lol

Ubisoft (and other third parties for that matter) can hardly complain about their Wii U sales if said games are either late or gimped.

how much of them are really complaining? I see forum goers complaining more. Ubi complained about Zombi U and they have a right to to an extent. EA simply said that there werent enough WIi Us being sold for them to support it.

If they do end up making one of those "there is no demand/audience" comments, they'll have themseves to blame, though.

I don't get why many Nintendo fans feel the need to justify why they didn't buy a certain game.

Because everyone calls us out everytime we don't buy a certain game, despite having legitimate reasons not to.

I think the Wii U fanbase right now is really just very core Nintendo fans and they are interested in the big Nintendo IP and not much else.

It's going to be a tough go for third parties, though some more kid-friendly IP like Disney and Sonic should be able to get a little loving.

One other thing- people complain about "gimped" games being released on the Wii U by 3rd parties- but those
same people are just fine when Nintendo releases virtually all of its games w out online multi player or other major features that pretty standard on other developers games- Maybe those developers think online multiplayer
is not important to Ii U owners since we are used to not having that feature

So tell me- Is Mario 3D land going to be a gimped game when it is released since it will not have online multiplayer?


There is a difference here. Most Nintendo gamers since the GCN or Wii days have had more than one console. If a game is worst on one system and costs EXACTLY the same price then people will go and buy the game on another system. Not to mention most releases have special editions that come with extra stuff like a steel book, soundtrack, sketches etc.. if you are a collector you want the best.
