Forums - Nintendo - When it comes to WIiU why do western 3rd parties get so much flack, while Japanese ones dont?

I've noticed that Ubisoft, EA and Activision get alot of hate on the forums for their support or lack thereof the WIi U, im not here to debate that matter of fact for arguments sake ill say they are mostly right for now. But TBH its not like the Japanese publishers have been showering Wii U with support either. Konami, i dont think they put anything on WIiU period, Tecmo Koei is making that Zelda thing, but what were they doing most of the last year, release wise? Capcom puts out a few ports. MH, RE. Namco has been helping with Smash, but where are there games? Sega is putting out Sonic but what of the games that arent releasing on WiiU? ALiens for example. Atlus hasnt done anything. Square probably the biggest of the ones i mentioned have put out ports of old games, DQ10 not seeing release out of Japan.

Where is the fury for these guys?

It's probably because they are perceived as less relevant overall (the Japanese ones, that is), especially when compared to the 90's and early 2000's, that's my guess anyway.



Because I believe some doesn't know anything about it and just repeat whatever others said.

Most likely is that Nintendo is reponsable for this, not Atlus.

Western 3rd parties are more relevant so that's probably why they get so much slack!

US has more purchasing power than Japan. Furthermore, Japanese developer support of this gen's console have been insignificant across the board, while 3rd parties are pushing the PS4 and X1 a whole lot more than the Wii U in the US. However, I believe that is mainly Nintendo's fault.

Squirtle Squirtle Squirtle $ (According to Wikipedia the game is being devleoped by Atlus and Intelligent Systems. Nintendo might be responsible for this but Atlus is giving them their support.)

Then this doesn't fit as a third party game but most like a crossover between a third party game and a first party one.

I believe OP means games like Tales of, MGS, DQ, MH, RE, etc.

Squirtle (You are right about that then. We can be sure of one thing though, Japanese support is slightly edging the western one. But It doesn't mean anything at this point.)
