What can we expect for WiiU?

nothing that i want to play sadly. excluding already announced few games.



 

 

I don't exactly expect to have my mind blown. There's what we already know about, which isn't much, and otherwise Nintendo seems just about ready to bury the Wii U, so I highly doubt all their affiliated studios are trying their hardest to turn out some quality Wii U content. I'll eventually skim whatever you put here, but I expect everything beyond what has already been announced publicly and is at this point common knowledge will just be straight up guessing.



 

Baten Kaitos 3 ? It's possible ! https://www.change.org/p/bandai-namco-create-baten-kaitos-3?just_created=true

Thanks. It takes a bit of time to put it all together, especially when you've got REAL work to do

Hope you'll enjoy!

Yups, it's guessing, but by looking at what a developer has done in the past for Nintendo, we can get a clearer picture of whether we may still expect something or not from them on WiiU. Mostly this means that I can almost say without a doubt that certain games in certain franchises AREN'T coming to the console anymore. In those cases, that there is doubt, it means that we will most likely see a game from that studio in the next 2-3 years from a certain franchise, and then it all depends on whether WiiU will still be relevant after Summer 2016.

One spoiler: a lot of Nintendo's third party partners in Japan seem to have switched to developing for mobile phones, so WiiU's future in that respect at least is a bit bleak.

Really? And Sony for instance didn't release games on PS3 when PS4 was already out there? Give me a break. There are still some unanounced games for WiiU out there from Nintendo. Not a whole lot, I give you that, but some at least.

The thing is, Nintendo has a habit of dropping support completely once new hardware comes out, which, to be fair, is common practice with first party development. The PS3 has only continued to get support from third party developers, which the Wii U isn't exactly rolling in support from.
