Back when Wii U was getting third party ports like Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, Batman, Splinter Cell, Need for Speed, etc, did you buy them on Wii U, or did you get them on PS3/360, or not at all?

Rayman Legends, CoD: Ghosts, Darksiders II, Assassin's Creed III, and Disney Infinity 2.0.

Also Bayonetta 1, technically. And Sonic Lost World (thanks to the PC release). Plus a few digital releases.

Would have bought Watch Dogs if it was a quality title (and wasn't released massively late as well). Would have been interested in Mass Effect Trilogy, if they'd done it... and if EA hadn't screwed Nintendo and Wii U owners over in general. I don't support bad ports just to try to convince third parties to make better ones - it doesn't work, as demonstrated on the Wii. I'll support third party titles if the third party supports my gaming.



I've bought the three that I heard were superior on Wii U to the other versions - Rayman Legends, Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Need for Speed: Most Wanted. Also ZombiU, but that doesn't count to me since I bought it when Wii U was the only option.

(EDIT: And Resident Evil: Revelations! Forgot that one.)

If there had been more releases, and they'd been superior or at least equal in quality to the other versions of the game (bearing in mind that I'm not a graphics whore and I'd generally take good Gamepad integration over a slight bump in resolution), I would have bought them as well.



Mass Effect 3, Assassin's Creed III and Resident Evil Revelations.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Resident Evil Revs as you can see, I tried to do my bit to support 3rd parties, but ultimately ended up buying a PS4 to get my 3rd party fix. My Wii U is now just a Nintendo box, not a bad thing but I would rather had not had to shell out for another console.

Love the dedication, which was your favourite third party? 

 

Need for speed- Best version on any platform period! Superb graphics using PC textures, consistent framerate and good gamepad features such as co-driver and abilities to change situations on the fly. Mass Effect 3- Forget the fact we didn't get the trilogy, ME3 is still super as a standalone game. Tanalus/straight right did a great job of the port which runs better than the PS3 version, and has some subtle gamepad features like being able to position your team on the battle field easier. Deus Ex- Tantalus/straight right again ( there is a reason they were given Twilight princess HD). This is what could have been if Wii U reached full potential, the gamepad features are some of the best on the system making this the definitive version. Batman Arkham city- Launch game in which the gamepad is used in a very neat way, this was when the odd 3rd party dev put in a little bit of effort. Oh and its one of my fave games. Splinter cell blacklist- Best splinter cell game I've ever played, looks great on Wii U and doesn't suffer the screen tear other versions had. Tekken tag 2- Looks good and has added Nintendo content, the best version of this game imo.

Sorry about the layout on my previous post, my PC is having a shitter :(



rayman legends and skylanders are the only multiplatform games i own for my wii u...



Deus Ex, Shovel Knight and Sonic Lost World.



Rayman
Shovel Knight
Lego Movie Game

I think that's it. If a game is multiplat, there's a very high chance I'll be getting it on PC.



I have a couple, Batman and Ducktales
