Are 90% of the games on the WiiU made by Nintendo? No

Are 90% of the relevant games on the WiiU made by Nintendo? Maybe. That seems to be his opinion on the matter and I gave him an answer to why he might think so.

Do I think Nintendo are better developers than 90% of the other developers that has made WiiU games? Absolutely!

I would say that Platinum Games, Bandai Namco, Ubisoft and Atlus are on par with Nintendo. Also alot of talented Indies, but they dont have the budget like the big developers, so we havent really seen what they can do with a big budget.

Yes, but the point we are arguing is whether the wii u is for other people besides Nintendo fans.  I have had a wii u since launch.  Since launch day, can you guess how many games I have bought for my wii u that weren't made by Nintendo? 0!  Do you know how many games coming out in the future that I plan on buying that aren't made by Nintendo? 0! 

Now that's obviously just me, but I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels that way.  The wii u has almost no third party support, and the support they do get is mediocre.  So unless people like Nintendo games, I would not recommend the wii u, would you?


Well would you recommended the XB1 over the PS4 or vice versa for the multi platform games...?

I own 19 WiiU games. 13 of them are not made by Nintendo...


As far as xb1 vs ps4 they are about the same.  If people REALLY cared about how many lines of pixels are on the screen I would say ps4, but honestly the more important thing to look for is what your friends own.  However, both systems are obviously MUCH better choices for multi platform games then the wii u...

Just seems like you think "Nintendo games" is one genre. If you dont like the Nintendo genre, then you wont like the WiiU...

That would be like saying if you dont like third party games, then the XB1 and PS4 is not for you...

No, you are the one that seems to lump them into one genre as you are the one that took issue with the wii u only being for Nintendo fans.  Obviously nintendo is stronger in some genres than others, but just like and publisher/developer their games have their own identity.  If you aren't a fan of nintendos lineup of games, then the wii u is not for you.  On the Xbox one or ps4, you could not like the games that Microsoft or Sony make, but still find plenty of games to play.  You see what I am saying?

I see what you are saying, but not everyone buying a console is either a Nintendo fan or wants third party games like it was a genre Nintendo is missing.

What about kids who played their fathers PS3 and love games like Ratchet and Clank, the Lego games, Rayman Origins/Legends etc...? 

Casual gamers who got into gaming through the IOS devices and want to buy a console for them and their family to enjoy?

There are different kind of gamers. Not just Nintendo fans on one side and the rest on the other.

Pretty bias opinionated piece... Ammibos as a reason? Nintendo doesn't need 3rd party like MS and Sony? They are in the position they are in now, because of no 3rd party.... 

Overall, a lot of that piece is pretty subjective. The Wii U to me, is a console FOR Nintendo gamers and no one else. Not saying that's bad, but it doesn't have that mass appeal. 

 


It's not because of third party support. It's because oftheir early shitty marketing. The Wii for example missed out on a lot the big third party games but was marketed extremely well. I'm not saying Nintendo doesn't need third party support though. What they need is something that's hard to get these days. They need exclusive third party support.....and more than a shitty Sonic game.

Good article. I like how they didn't put each point on a different page like those other whoring sites.

I bought it when it launched but it's getting a lot less play around here. My lady has been hitting up the xbox one as have I.

Pretty good article. It's kind of nice to see a pro Nintendo article every now and again.

Time also picked a mobile game for their top game of 2014. I'm sure you agree with that?


Microsoft made online gaming on consoles big.
Microsoft also wasted 2.5bn on Minecraft you agree with that?

Sony made the PS2
Sony also killed the Vita and abandoned everyone who bought the system. You agree with that?

America "saved" the world during WW2.
America also kills alot of civilians for oil. You agree with that?

See what I did there? Good.
