No Battlefield 4 on Wii U

Now if I was Platinum Games I would totally reevaluate on if putting Bayo2 is the right move cause at this rate it not looking good for Nintendo.

@Rovelius Well its not a next gen game for console, only pc. for console its just a down ported POS.

when the wii steps up to 1080p with a new controller, no longer will anyone pass them up

I had hope in the WiiU, but more and more games keep NOT getting released on the console. With the economy and everything, people are probably saving for the new consoles instead of a system with almost no games on its list(look at the release schedule if you are skeptic). To get things worse, we see more trailers of great games to come, and those games won't be on the WiiU. Today we have new screenshots of GTA, and a trailer for the next Metal Gear Solid game. I'm trying to see where Nintendo went wrong. I think they pretty much shot themselves in the foot when new contendersemerged in the 2000s by almost only releasing Mario Games whereas the others were developing new franchises and releasing new ideas. I'm not saying Mario games are bad, but almost everybody when they think of Nintendo, they think about cartoonish games aimed at a general/kid public. Nintendo needed to change their image, and they failed. They didn't even try. I still like Nintendo though. You can say they are good at marketing, I disagree.

But don't worry WiiU still has Mario...

The fact that the Wii U is still selling rather poorly is probably the primary reason why many big games are skipping the system. The new generation hasn't started fully yet but it's apparent that the Wii U is going to be like the gamecube in terms of first party games being the primary reason why people will buy the console. The bad relations Nintendo has with 3rd party developers during the 7th generation of consoles has hurt Nintendo for the coming of the 8th generation.

However I feel that the PlayStation 4 and whatever the next Xbox is called will also have a slow start because most 3rd party publishers are going to continue to make games for the much larger install bases of the PS3 and Xbox 360. With the PS4 and likely the next Xbox in addition abandoning backwards compatiablity, I wouldn't be surprised to see the the new systems selling like the Wii U now in early 2014 after the 2013 holiday rush.

Well I am glad they didn't throw playble female characters just as a bullet point. I see the whole female chararcter thing a bigger issue when it comes to lead roles. I can't imagine Battlefield having that or being an issue of it. There is point where you don't pander just to make people happy which then in turn can effect a vision of a game. Publishers only think about it when it comes to money.

This is called obvious, not news. Why anyone would have even purchased a Wii U is beyond me.

id usually a type a massive LOL... but right now im feeling sorry for Wii U consumers. ...

those poor people spent that much money on a console, which isnt getting some of the best games their are. ........ seriously.

Its going to get even more nasty when other devs follow suit, and rather not spend on nintendo versions.

It just seems that Wii will not be able to compete come this fall. But why ..... did people jump to buying a WII ?? when PS3 or 360 were cheaper full of huge titles, and more huge titles on the way ? why didnt people just save money for ps4 or next xbox.

Nintendo should of gone all out.

If i was a Wii u owner now... id be planning to sell. [however nasty that may seem]

Of coarse it's skipping Wii U, it's not a game for small children.

So much for the 3rd party support, Reggie.

That said, give me a new Mario and I'm all over the Wii U.

@jcnba28 @dromeo Really cause it sure not selling in Japan http://www.famitsu.com/news/201303/27030961.html

I wonder what excuse Nintendo fanboys will think up this time for why yet another major western AAA title is ditching the WiiU. Maybe EA and its devs haven't gotten a dev kit yet? Or maybe the WiiU is getting it's own exclusive version? or maybe the WiiU is just too powerful for Dice to handle? Whatever makes them sleep better at night.

It would be a waste of time. Nintendo likes all the kiddie stuff. There will never be an Elder Scrolls nor a Fallout for a Nintendo console. No Dark Souls, no GTA, Bioshock...etc. The list goes on. There is nothing next gen about the Wii U. Anybody that dares defend it really needs to raise their expectations.

Nintendo is just shooting themselves in the foot. Where's Bioshock Infinite or Tomb Raider or BF4? Meanwhile, the rest of us that own the Wii U will have to play LEGOS until the next Mario comes out? Wtf.....

I see a woman in that trailer though
