Wow, I can't get through that video at all. It's not even what he says, it's how he says it. His use of language is not at all graceful. He doesn't sound anything like Will Smith, dude.

He could be biased, but as a Nintendo fan, he seems to have a realistic understand of the Nintendo situation. What videos would you recommend I look up revealing his bias?

I'm thinking about the jerking-around that EA gave them, or Ubisoft holding back a finished game for, apparently, no reason. Or Ubisoft's fuckery with Rayman Legends.

Have to admit that Nintendo platforms get bad treatment that nobody else gets, while there is little cause for western third parties to provide support on the level of Nintendo's rivals, some of what has gone on is beyond the pale.

I agree. Western devs deserve better from Nintendo and Nintendo deserves better from Japanese devs.

From the western side, Nintendo should continue emulating the model they established with Lego City Undercover. Use a developer's existing capabilities to develop exclusives worth giving a damn about. I'm sure Treyarch would be happy to develop a new FPS, and Activision would probably lend them away for a decent price. Ubisoft is full of Nintendo-based talent that really haven't been given the proper stage to really be successful.

I do think some releases like Tekken 7 are a moot point. There's no denying it'd be a technically inferior port -- even things like Mario and Zelda costumes couldn't really gather must interest in TT2 for WiiU.

As for Capcom, seems like everyone's still holding out for a new Megaman...

As much as I love Nintendo these problems date back to the days when they bossed 3rd parties around and later ignored their preference for the transition to optical media and stuck with cartridges for the N64, still only meeting them half way years later on the GameCube.

All you hear from 3rd party developers is their complaints that Nintendo is difficult to communicate with, let alone work with, and Nintendo has always had something of a deaf ear to their desires. It's no coincidence that when other consoles are down (such as the PS3 initially, the original Xbox) you don't hear much from developers, but the moment Nintendo is down and said 3rd party developers are no longer working with them you hear person after person seemingly venting all their past frustrations about the company and its console. They'll keep the muzzle on when there's money to be made, but it's clear that many don't enjoy working with Nintendo.

Nintendo just seems to live in its own little bubble; I'm not at all surprised that they lack 3rd party support. This talk of "bias" is mostly silly, as this is entirely a situation of Nintendo's own making.

Sony and Microsoft get perks with third party because they work with third party. If third parties have to downport at least their fanbases will support their games well enough to be more than profitable. I mean look at Mass Effect, Battlefield, Dragon Age, Assassins Creed & Watchdogs. Those games have flourished on non-Nintendo platforms. As I said before with Konami and Square Enix. When Sony had come into the gaming industry and increased the popularity of gaming upon entrance, companies like Square became partners with them because Sony actually distributed products for them and took stock in the company. Konami put MGS on Sony's platform for format reasons. Nintendo refused at the time to go to the CD because they were complaining about pirating issues. The funny thing is they were the ones who tried to hire a worker for Sony (Without Sony's consent) to create a CD-rom for their next console anyway. 

The thing is at this point as well I think it's too late anyway.

Third parties historically have only really needed two home console platforms to adequately get a large enough audience.

Three has generally proven to be a headache for third parties, it adds resources needed to make yet another version of the same game and usually the third platform of the bunch has far lower third party sales than the others.

This doesn't just apply to Nintendo, take Turbo Grafx 16 ... developers overwhelmingly chose to support the SNES and Genesis.

The only difference is today the PS4 and XBox One are the new SNES and Genesis. The Wii U unfortunately is the new Turbo Grafx 16 (the third wheel system that nobody supports).

Nintendo is the one that manoeuvred themselves from being in a market leadership position with third parties into the position they are now where virtually all of their retail console support is gone.

I do agree, both Nintendo and the third party companies are to blame. I hope Nintendo tries to amend their situation for their next console since I don't believe that many more large amounts of third party games are coming to the system at this point.

Devs really don't have a problem with 3 systems (heck they've been porting to four recently when you include the Xbox 360 and PS3) but it's too costly when the porting process is as difficult as it is for the Wii U, from figuring out how to work with their strange architecture to having to come up with some use for the game pad while scaling down their game so that it runs smoothly on the underpowered hardware... If the Wii U was selling as well as the Wii did you can be sure they'd be developing for it but it's just not worth doing now.

Three has never been too much for devs (they were working with three just fine last gen), it's just about money. People didn't develop for the turbo grafx because no one in the west had a turbo grafx. If the Wii U was a similar build to the Xbox 1 and PS4 and was easy to port to, they'd be porting to it right now. As things stand, though, the process is too difficult and the install base too small to justify it.

100% agree with your post especially the Japanese devs.

I am some what devistated there is no Revelations 2 on Wii U. I did but it on 3DS then upgrade to Wii U one. Sure I could get it on PS4 but I kind of like having the same line of games on the same system.

Sad part is the devs that did try got shunned by Nintendo gamers because of stupid reasons like oh the fps is 2-5fps less and gfx worst than PS4 without rating the game on the merit the system was capable of. 

All the games you listed had flaws but none that did not warrant a buy if you are a single console owner. I would also add to that Need for speed was well done.

The biggest mistake those fans made was get mad about a few shitty ports from EA (they do that on all consoles anyway) and Ubisoft delaying Rayman which resulted in boycotts. In the end this ended the way we see it now, devs walked away. I think Ubisoft of them all provided three great games as a gesture for delaying Rayman Legends. But sadly people did not see the postive in it but rather focused to much on the negative.
