I still can't understand who buys games like Mass Effect 3 on Wii U...
Wii U doesn't have the target audience for these games!

I bought Mass Effect 3 on the Wii U and it was quite good. The interactive comic did a good enough job of explaininmg the basic premise. However, I got the PC version later for all the DLC as well as 1080p60 goodness. I didnt have any problems with the ports until they a) stopped coming and b) were never any better than PS3/360 versions. At the very least youd expect the new gen console to brute force 7th gen ports at 720p60

"At the very least youd expect the new gen console to brute force 7th gen ports at 720p60"

Wii U handles games with much better graphics than ps360 while at 720p 60fps. those ps360 ports were simply unoptimized.

I'm sick of the whining of Nintendo fans about the third party, supportive or unsupportive

Nintendo fans (and I am one!) have never purchased a Nintendo system for third party games. whether its a handheld or home console. I'm not saying some fans don't love third party games, some great ones have been on Nintendo systems over time. but the reality is that its naive and just stupid to have this conversation over and over and OVER again about Nintendo lacking third party games, third party companies 'abandoning' Nintendo, Nintendo fans 'abandoning' third parties, etc. etc. etc.

it's already the status quo for decades now that Nintendo systems are about Nintendo software. stop making drama (in either direction!) regarding this. great third party games sometimes are on Nintendo systems and sometimes aren't, its useless to push for or whine that they're lacking on Nintendo systems because that is likely never going to change

Nintendo itself is unique in the industry because they produce a LOT more titles and software for their systems than their competitiors do. a Sony or Microsoft rely on third party publishers to sell their systems, Nintendo is the opposite. just further elaborating on why its silly to expect business models to magically change. there are never going to a kajillion third party games on a Nintendo system because Nintendo systems have some of the most popular in house IPs in the video gaming world

no third party company is going to spend millions of dollars making some platformer or adventure game for a Nintendo system when they already know that people looking for those games who own a Nintendo system are just going to buy Mario and Zelda instead

omg, that's too much BS. the fact is that consumers have all the right to demand their rights. it's stupid to settle down over 3rd parties BS, we should always demand that those 3rd parties go back to being professional.

"there are never going to a kajillion third party games on a Nintendo system because Nintendo systems have some of the most popular in house IPs in the video gaming world

Just more BS, snes software sales say high.

also as far as adult games on Nintendo systems- third parties are often not going to feel comfortable spending money to port a shooter or violent game to a Nintendo system when they know the market is mostly casuals and families.

I do blame that on Nintendo, as far as not pushing to develop a more adult end of their video game franchises and business. but again I don't think the lack of third parties is the issue there, Nintendo needs to create some of their own more adult IPs to give the impression of to the consumerse that they ARE a system for all categories of gamers

creating some more games in the vain of Eternal Darkness or Earthbound or something like Perfect Dark (and yes I know it was Rare)

as far as serious racing games- forget it, Nintendo's largest franchise practically is Mario Kart and they're not going to sacrafice that at all to have realistic racers

"adult" sigh. Most nintendo games are more adult than what you see elsewhere.

"as far as serious racing games- forget it, Nintendo's largest franchise practically is Mario Kart and they're not going to sacrafice that at all to have realistic racers"

lol what? so much wrong here. saying mario kart isn't a serious game, saying that nintendo would have to sacrifice MK to have other racer... where's the logic in that?
