Forums - Nintendo - 3rd Parties to blame for lack of Wii U support?

supernihilist on 26 January 2014

Honestly i think 3rd parties should be happy with what they get in return since the effort they put on products regarding WiiU rangews from weak to abysmal.
200k for a outsourced port is not bad really. they aim too high

but the games that were ported over sold like crap

You mean the ports that were missing features, released months later and/ore more expensive? I can't imagine why.

Have there been any multiplat games released on the Wii U with equivalent features, release date and price? I know of Rayman Legends and that did just as well on the Wii U as it did the PS360 despite an install base 75 million lower than each.

Surely if it was worth porting Rayman Legends for only 230k and 300k sales on the 360 and PS3 respectively, then the same could be said for Wii U ports.


rayman legened isnt even a AAA title. Besides, the ps3 version sold more copies even with GTAV eating all the cake the same month. 

You mean a user base of 75 million more users bought a whole 30k more copies of Legends? Wow.


like i said, Rayman legends was released alongside with GTAV. Besides if the user base isn't the only thing that matters for a succesful launch, well, wii says hi...

This isn't a launch though, I'm not sure what you're igetting at.

The user base isn't all that matter of course, but it does have to be taken into account, particularly when comparing sales on  a system with 5 million users to one with 80 million...


I gave you examples you are ignoring them. COD and AC4 just to name two.

You gave examples that were either missing features, released later and/or cheaper elsewhere.

AFAIK Ghosts and AC4 are missing features as well. Both launched near Mario 3D World as well.

Any other multiplat games released on the Wii U with equivalent features, release date and price?

what features were they missing? and no DLC is NOT a feature. and Ghosts was cheapest on Wii U. So those are your two right there, try to debunk those first.

I meet many hardcore Call of Duty/Battlefield fanatics who'll exclaim that GoldenEye was the game that got them into the genre. 


I'm one.



Predicting that Second Son (PS4) will outsell Titanfall (XOne) in lifetime sales.  Click here for sales comparison thread.

Nintendo doesnt help, the cost to make games on Wii U is too much higher compared to PS3/360, they didnt even try to make an easy platform to develop for.



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

Pacher said there are some 20 million core Nintendo fans, the rest are casuals and some multi-console users.

So where are you Nintendo fans hiding? Why aren't you supporting the Wii U?

Can't blame 3rd parties since they gave it a fair chance in the beginning, until it was clear that it wasn't going to sell well.

Wii U launched with around 30 titles, most of them 3rd party.  A huge initial support.


Again fallacy & spin, fair chance you say? Half assed ports of months old games, with no DLC & Zero marketing, often ads even didn't mention that there was a Wii U version, seen it happen with COD, Assassin's Creed, Need for Speed & others, if a company game ever wanted a game they released not to sell, the only thing they would have to do is sell it like they sold it for the Wii U, they were activelly suiciding their games for the Wii U!!!

Nintendo and its fans are the ones to blame


What did I do? I bought my third party ports and exclusives for the 3DS and Wii U, I got some 3rd party eShop exclusives, I even chose ZombiU over Mario at launch because I wanted to support 3rd parties.



My friend is a Vtuber, check him out.

This!!!

 They know Nintendo gamers don't eat medium products like the hardlycore on the other consoles who are satisfied by boobs & blood. We want great products that's why we buy Nintendo, they really are stupid if they think shallow random action games will sell on Nintendo platforms!
