Forums - Nintendo - Can you explain why it is supposedly so difficult to develop games on the Wii U?

The problem is NOT that Nintendo can't develop fast enough on WiiU, it's that their resources are scarcely shared between WiiU and 3DS so they don't have enough teams to provide a fair stream of games throughout the year. But for the situation they are in, and the quality of the games they keep pumping up, they are pulling miracles as of now.

They just need more teams. 

 

PS Didn't remember how gorgeous Super Mario 3D World is.

Fully agreed actually!

Love your avatar. :)

Is the gamepad also a factor? Merely having to think about what to do with that second screen requires time, effort and creative thinking, and that's before you even start doing what you've decided to do with the gampad. It's probably not as big an issue as the technical side of what's inside the Wii U, bit it's just one more thing that needs to be considered.
