Wii U news thread

Am I really,

PS4 shanks Resogun (best game on the PS4), Killzone, Flower, Outlast, Blacklight, then of course the next gen versions of COD, AC4 etc plenty on a PS4 all ready

then you've got Infamous, MGSV:GZ, Thief, Driveclub, Daylight, Final Fantasy XIV, Watch Dog's, Elder Scrolls Online, Evil Within, Destiny, Dragon Age III, Alien: Isolation, The Order, Murdered: Soul Suspect, Diablo III, Witcher 3 and more to come out over the next year plus PSN games such as Transistor.

I know which system I would sooner buy if I could only afford one. And sales numbers of all three systems shows what system the majority want and it's not a Wii U.

Nintendo not did to win me over or you balla it's the people that don't own them.

It's the wrong forum if you want to talk to them, Jay aside (who doesn't own a PS4 or One as far as I'm aware). I won't talk about games existing or to come, as that is hugely a matter of personal taste - the only game out of your list of current games that appeals to me is available on PS3, at which point I may as well buy WWHD. Which I didn't.

I'm agree were not the target demographic apart from maybe Jay or anyone else with out a Wii U on this forum which is a great forum why would I want to go somewhere else.

I'm just trying to say what has shown to becoming in 2014 isn't enough to win people over and is rather barren on the Wii U and that the other two look better buys all ready.

The 3DS is still the best buy by a country mile though.

Nintendo need to sale Wii U's to people and me trying to look at it as someone that hasn't there not selling it to me.

I didn't say that there is some decent stuff coming soon just nothing at the moment, I've already been a pirate assasin, I'm not overly fussed this time around about cod and doesn't kill zone last about 4 hours?

Killzone has avg of 9.5 hours SP on HLTB plus multiplayer.

I was expecting to see a big games list & I could pick apart what I do/don't like but I won't, my initial point wasn't that there wasn't anything coming in the near future just that these systems will have their gaps between releases too the difference is that only Nintendo is being singled out for it.

Also Nintendo don't often lay out a massive list of games coming in the next year or more, mostly what we wait a long time for & know about ahead of time are legend of Zelda games all the others are sprung on us as delightful surprises.

Quality over quantity.

So, yeah, this happened....



Stay classy, developers.... (The actual figure is 4% btw. Polygon got the Wii U mixed up with the Wii.)

What an asshat. What does he do at Ubi? And what exactly have Nintendo done to merit this?

This.

Still, well done on having your fifteen minutes of fame, Jobye.

'Jobye'   

Yep, its the sheer unprofessionalism.

It isn't even that. If that were a forum comment I'd report it for trolling. It's small-minded and petty from anyone, let alone an Ubi person.

Anyway, unless he's got a family to support, I'm kind of hoping he's out of a job(ye) soon.

I just hope the stupid views of one Ubi employee doesn't force people to drag the company through the mud, their wii u support is has been great.

You can't blame people if they do, they delayed rayman and made it multiformat now delayed watch dogs (which I think will just be cancelled) and now there employees are being stupid.

In this instance I think I can as its one persons view, not the view of the entire company & as for the delayed games? We all know the Rayman delay happened as a result of contract clause that Microsoft have but no one can deny the game was even better as result of that delay.

As for watchdogs on wii U? The game has never been seen in public (to my knowledge) so we have no idea what kind of state it is in, I just don't get the hate for the one 3rd party that's supporting Nintendo with their big releases.

Good news the Wii U has outsold the 360's lifetime sells in japan.

To be fair, I've outsold the 360 in Japan.

Clueless Nintendo investor alert!

Don't we already have that option?

Square Enix has a bizarre excuse why "Murdered" isn't on Wii U...

"In all honesty, all the Wii U games I've ever played, the only good ones are the ones that are made specifically for [the Wii U]. And this just doesn't fit. The Wii U also has a small install base, relative to consoles and PC. The Xbox 360 and PS3 have combined for more than 160 million sales to date, while the Xbox One and PS4 together total more than 8.3 million systems sold worldwide so far. As for the Wii U, that system has sold only 5.86 million units as of December 31."

Read "development costs are too high because the machine is not like the X1 or PS4".

There was an interesting conference with JP Kellams of Platinum Games yesterday. He talks about Working in Japan, the difference between Western and Japanese culture, says Bayo 2 wouldn't exist without Nintendo and praises the Wiimote.

The video is here. I've set it to play at the Bayonetta 2 / Wiimote bit. (You can go back if you want to see the other stuff.)

I'm also highly amused that it was an EA employee that asked him that question....

It's a bit saddening to hear publishers not sticking a port on the Wii U, but they'll happily commission a low cost port for the PC.

In a way the two are analogous to each other, with Wii U's AAA ports mainly being done by other studios rather than the real deal, but now Wii U's getting nothing...

Nintendo are planning to show off their indie cred at GDC. While it's good to see them courting a type of third party, only two of the games off that list (Nihilumbra and Teslagrad) really interest me much. Anyone else?
