[QUOTE="ConanTheStoner"]Multiplats though?  I really don't see the point unless you dont have other options.foxhound_fox
Buying them on a Nintendo console would encourage third parties to stick around.

I guess I just don't care.  I may play these little games in SW, but the reality is I buy all major platforms and keep a decent rig going.

I'm pretty much settled on what I expect from my platforms and all I really care for from Nintendo is their 1st party games.  I'm going to get my 3rd party games no matter where they go, so its a non issue to me.

Personally I do it to support 3rd parties and not have to pay to play online. But I'm just a cheap ass like that.

[QUOTE="MFDOOM1983"]People are more likely to buy versions of a game for a system they currently own. *gasp* Especially, if the game launches prior to the next gen console release date. Gather around for more knowledge people.foxhound_fox

I can see that angle then.  I dont really play online games anymore, so its not much of a factor for me.

For someone with such high level you should know by now that some people just prefer console gaming. It doesn't matter how much better pc may be. They're more comfortable with a form of gaming that they've enjoyed for the better part of their life, so pc gaming isn't even a factor for them, and they'll deal with shit performance up until there's a better option in the form of a console.

I concur. 

This is anecdotal, but I've become this way. I essentially use my laptop to visit classic WRPG when I get the itch, but I no longer bother building rigs. I know a few peers that I work with that have also gone down this route.

Doesn't mean that person isn't wrong, in fact, I could tell you first hand my experience with the Wii U's first year is going to make me even more hesitant from dipping early into a launch console.

PS4 launch exclusives- Killzone Shadow Fall (so not a rehash), Knack, Driveclub (not Forza clone) X1 launch exclusives- Ryse (we're not copying Gladiator), Forza 5 (not a rehash), Dead Rising 3 (definitely not a rehash) Wii U exclusives this holiday- Sonic: Lost Worlds, Wonderful 101 (NA), Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze, Super Mario 3D World (trailer sucked), Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD (PS3 also has FFX-HD coming up this holiday as well, whoops), Wii Party U, Wii Fit U (punny, I know, and the last two appeal more to casuals than the hermits creeping on this forum).

reggie is right look at the ps4,  

you mostly have cross generational games, and the exclusives are less known , ips,   save 2 , -infamous and killzone and the later i could do without ,  

 

and x1 just same ol halo forza fable  ,, the only reason i m gettin x1 is i already pay for xbox live,  im not paying for the crap psn ,  (09 remember that)  

and for dead rising 3 ,  thats it , the wiiu actually had games i wanted to play ,  on a nintendo platform ,  

like batman , need for speed ,  new super mario bros , zombi u-new ip and exclusive ,   nintendoland , and when i saw the upcoming line up thats it ,   wiiu was and is offically better game wise then what ps4 has ,  and x1 is just behind it ,   

 

say what you want i dont care if oh every console has cross generational games ,  because when 360 came out it had more new stuff then cross gen games, 

when wii came out same thing,  

even ps3 ,  so dont even get me started on the ps4 , even ps3 is getting gt6 , that should have been a ps4 title ,  it would have made the difference, 

 

and you know what , wiiu does have games,  

zombie u 

pikmin 3

fast and furious

nfs mw u , 

me3

nsmbu 

nslu

game and wario 

nintendo land

tank tank tank dl 

vc games  ,  

walking dead

sniper 2 elite

wheel of fortune

ac 3

and the upcoming ones look even more better, 

ac4 

watch dogs

splintercell 

super mario 3d world

dkc 5 tropical freeze

yoshland

wii party u 

zelda wind waker hd 

mariokart 8 

  nintendos cleaning house once again ,    sales do not matter to me ,   its games people ,

Well he's right about that. The Wii U didn't have the best launch either, but it's going to have a far better line-up than either the PS4 or Xbox One this hoilday season.

not even close when you count 3rd party support. You also have to account that nobody likes every game so if we start subtracting choices nintendo will lose and PS4 and x1 will win by default for having more choices. The Wii U just can't win an argument this year sorry... just deal with it :cool:

Neither of the three consoles will be getting GTA5 in the near future, only the Wii U would be getting Rayman Legends and Arkham Origins out of the three, and all three will be getting Watch Dogs, AC4, and Ghosts. That's not even factoring in the PS360 as well. Keep in mind when you resort to subjective arguments, it could go both way (eg. I have a Wii U and PC, and I could care less about any of the PS4 or X1 launch exclusive).

He's right. Meh is a great word to describe them. At the same time, its not like the Wii U's lineup is better. Everyone's just waiting for 2014.

Precisely.

All consoles are "meh" at the moment.

He also calls me so he can come over and play the Vita, something he can relate to I guess.

Of course I say no, I don't like the way he looks at my kids.

true enough... but wind waker HD, Mario 3D world and Pinkmin are the only games nintendo would have more or less successful releases with. I meant it's hard to count 3rd party games for nintendo.. especially games like CoD or other games you would play online... would you risk it? playing COD online on the Wii U? or rather get it where the user base is at? and i haven't heard much good things from the nintendo network. So their 3rd party support will have dissadvantage of choice before release.

TSHBOBRG [By Reggies Grin]

First 2DS just for being a stupid idea, now telling Wii U fans they have great games, when in reality they couldn't give the Wii U away.

I'm just so glad i'm done with Nintendo, they've been telling us how great things are since the beggining of the Wii days and i've seen nothing.

Their home console library is in a seriously weak position, yet this is what they choose to boast about.

At least when Miyamoto was unimpressed he just said there wasn't a game he would of made himself. That is understandable. To just say all these games are meh is just stupid.
