Forums - Gaming - Only Nintendo have had a good year for genuine exclusives

And by genuine, I mean no PC or cross gen stuff.

Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze, Mario Kart 8, Bayonetta 2, Hyrule Warriors.  I would say Smash for Wii U counts as well.

Compared to just inFamous Second Son on PS4, and Sunset Overdrive on X1.

I know that this is the Wii U's second year, but even last year compares favourably with actual exclusives, with The Wonderful 101, Lego City Undercover, Pikmin 3, Super Luigi U and Super Mario 3D World.

Although much was made at the time about Nintendo taking longer to adapt to HD development, they have still managed to get a good amount of genuine exclusives out recently.

What do you think?

I agree

Sony & Microsoft have been focused on cross-gen games in 2014. I'm fine with that though



Do you guys forget Nintendo does not really do much cross gen games?

They have no other choice but to make good exclusives :-p



Praise the One.

Sony and Microsoft don't rely on 1st party games, but they do on 3rd party games with all the timed exclusive stuff and advertisement for those games.



they were good in their genera, yes I agree with that. But not overall.

They need great exclusives to stay relevant due to the third party situation.  But that doesn't mean they don't deserve credit for delivering them.



If you count Japan, I'm willing to be that the PS4 will magically have more true exclusives than the Wii U.

Unfortunately, they're also extremely niche.

I agree. It's got the best exclusives the last couple of years. It's still a real shame about the lack of third party stuff though.

Agree with this.

It's only natural. Nintendo makes the best games. People seem to disagree with that fact though.
