Forums - Nintendo Discussion - WiiU third party price, value and perception

Third party support, a constant topic that looms over Nintendo; DLC, statements, hardware, projections, PR, generalization, sales, titles, marketing, PR... all discussed. During this current generation WiiU received last generation ports that the Wii missed, but what about the value these titles have?

To me third party titles value is about half of their release price (20eur), while Nintendo titles are in the 30-40eur range.

For example, I bought ZombiU at 20eur after enjoying the demo and NFSMWU also for 20eur since I wanted a NFS game. There are also few demos released on the WiiU, so for games that I have no reference in its quality, I wait for them to be around 10eur to purchase and try them out. This point was reached by BatmanAC.

 

What's your own perception?

 

Note: This thread is somewhat related with third party purchase thread, but it should spark discussion, hence the separation.
Thread title was inspired by daredevil.shark's thread.

Very rarely are third party titles worth full price. RE4 was and if ACIV was a great port it would have been too.

I'm even doubting getting ACIV when it reaches 10eur.

Wasn't it 15 on the eShop recently?

Still is. But I can't resell a digital copy if I don't like it.

Value is dependent on the individual, as in this case its mostly ninty fans clearly no 3rd party will be really given any of it no matter what. Especially wont be shown to any decent extent through sales numbers.

Hence why third party publishers should work on their value wrt Nintendo audience. But obviously it is much easier to just drop support.

Work on it how, charge less ??

hence they go put effert on platforms where their games are loved and purchesed not hated  and whined they arent "value" enough for elitist ninty fans.

Its only logical to drop support, in every sense possible from any angle you can choose to look at the choice.
