Warner seem to be pretty staunch WiiU supporters, putting out Lego, Injustice and Batman games, but it seems the new Batman is PS4/XB1/PC only. So is this the end of support from Warner outside of the Lego videogames?

The other two question marks left now are Ubisoft and Assassins Creed, and Activision and Call of Duty.

It's pretty obvious WiiU will always get Just Dance, Skylanders and Rayman. But could this be the last year of annual core support for the WiiU?


I am really sorry to say it buddy, but in this case it is because of console horsepower, this game will probably make the One sweat, imagine what it would do to poor WiiU =/



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

I agree with all of your comments. But please remember what we saw of arkham knight was CGI. We havent seen how the game will actually look.

I see a lot of people spreding BS about wii u without any grounds. why should I bother listing the various arguments I listed before with every single random nonsense?

Because you keep bothering telling them they're wrong, liars, or  that they have a limited way of thinking. You offer very poor rebuttals and no will to up your game, yet you jump into every single arguments about the Wii U that you see. Spreading the same kind of [non] rebuttals and accusations of lying without ever giving an ounce of reasonable argument. People don't take you seriously here. They're just waiting for you to snap.

"poor rebutals" is more than enough to counter poor BS.

Nintendo fan: C'mon third party! You gotta release game X/Y/Z for the Wii U! Or we'll be mad!

Third Party: OK, so you're interested in buying it?

Nintendo fan: Haha, no I need it to use as an argument on a message boa ... OMG! NEW MARIO KART 8 TRAILER! JIGGLYPOO PLAYABLE IN SMASH!!! ZELDA OOT HD! SAVING ALL MY MONEYZ.

I've been saying this since the day the specs of the Wii-U were revealed: Once thrid party support for PS360 dries up, Wii-U dries up. They are not going to make a whole engine to release on Wii-U.

Though this was before i knew third party support would already be pretty much gone by now.

the wii u specs were never revealed but we know it has all that it takes to receive any game for the 8th gen.


Sure, but not without major, massive, gamr changing downgrades to the Wii U version. And seeing how Wii U is on its way to become a commercial failure, I don't see the developers putting much or even any effort into the porting process

"game changing", I had to laugh. first, it would only take some small downgrades and resolution drops to run it on wii u.

second, I think you haven't been watching games for the last years. Nowadays, even major graphical downgrades are just that: GRAPHICAL. 0 game changing.

After downgrading everything to fit the hardware:

You're right. I see no difference whatsoever! xD

Most annual release games are going to stop coming to Wii U at some point, but games with a longer development cycle and movie games might stand a chance in some cases, as well as franchises that have always done well on Nintendo systems, like Lego and Skylanders.

Actually I don't think so. 

I doubt Assassin's Creed will be on the Wii U this year. Maaaaaybe Call of Duty, but even there the dev team last year was complaining about having too many versions of the game to work on, and the PS3/360 have too big of an install base to ignore. 

The sales just aren't there and all these companies have limited manpower, expending them on making a port that might make you a few peanuts in profit just isn't smart asset management.
