Reggie Confident With 3rd Party Support

Gametrailers.com is currently interviewing Reggie on a variety of issues. Geoff Keighley really pushed the 3rd party issue and pressed Reggie on the lack of support. Overall, Reggie seemed very confident in the Wii U’s upcoming 3rd party support. He did make note to mention how Activision, Disney, Warner Bros. and Ubisoft are all making games for the Wii U. Reggie also mentioned how EA will be developing Wii U games in the future.

is that why the wiiU was never mentioned in any of the third party games reveals? reggie may be confident in 3rd party support but it isn't entirely evident that 3rd party support is confident in reggie. even for a game that had the wiiU controller in its trailer the wiiU still wasn't mentioned

iplay1up24721d ago

I hear where you are coming from, but hang in there. Sega, Monolith, Platinum, Ubi, Indie, all have games coming to Wii U. I think Nintendo is doing far better as far as making a console for gamers than Microsoft. Sony really shined though. Don't get me wrong, I am not really disagreeing.

darthv724721d ago

90's arcade racer. when is that coming out?

im not the least bit worried about nintendo and their library as i know they will deliver the fun that i grew up with.

The more 3rd party support the better.

Blackdeath_6634721d ago

@GotHDGame
nor am i disagreeing with you. i just don't see that support. i think nintendo have been more productive without an E3 conference than they would have if they did. depending how things go it may end up being the best decision they ever made. that way people don't compare the wiiU to XBone or ps4 but see it for what it really is.

Kevlar0094721d ago

While the WiiU has some support, really only Ubisoft is the one showing dedicated support like you'd see on the other consoles.

As for EA developing for WiiU, I gotta see physical proof. Nintendo won't stand a chance unless the 1st party pulls through and we see a decent install base

I really hope "X" shows what the WiiU can do. If EA could release BF4 or MGS from Kojima for the WiiU without a substantial drop in fidelity and graphics then there shouldn't be a limit on the games the WiiU can get.

AdvanceWarsSgt4721d ago

And really, Ubi's support probably isn't as dedicated as we think, since neither The Crew nor The Division seem to be coming to the Wii U.

Oh, but the Wii U is DEFINITELY not missing out Ubi's next iteration of Just Dance.

PSWiiKing4721d ago

But the Wii U got Assassin Creed 4, among other Ubisoft games.

AdvanceWarsSgt4721d ago

But what about next-gen games? Not a single one of the next-gen games announced at E3 are coming to the Wii U, which is the real problem here.

How much worse will the 3rd party support get once developers move on from the 360 and PS3?

N4g_null4721d ago

I watch Sony and ms conferences. What I though was cool better graphics. It was a list of effects to me. Stories I don't care about because this is about game play. Mine craft is way better than any game shown on songs and ms systems.

What I got excited about was x being a monster hunter xenoblade! Mario kart that let's you hide from weapons.a smash brothers that is ready for HD.a 3d Mario that continues what Mario land started with co op.

The draw distance was pretty Impressive on a few of these games also.I believe it depends on what you want to play.

Also bayo and w101 having two player co op is big. Then the new 3d sonic also with pikman and I have a lot to buy. That Mario kart is going to be a black ops replacement for me. I got all the fps I need unless it is fun.

Different strokes for different folks I guess.

AdvanceWarsSgt4720d ago

^^^^And that's great that you like those titles, but Nintendo can't and won't be nearly as successful as they were last gen without 3rd party support. It has already been proven with both the N64 and GCN that Nintendo's 1st party titles alone are not enough to satisfy most gamers.

N4g_null4720d ago

It was proven with the Wii they can be fine without it. Go and get a ps4 like every one else. Then just enjoy the awesome Nintendo games.

coming for reggie is normal.

MASTER_RAIDEN4721d ago

im going to be completely honest, im not exactly sure where reggie is coming from with this confidence. a lot of the AAA software weve seen at e3 happily mentioned both the ps4 and one, but not the wii u. a little discouraging, no doubt.

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS42d ago (Edited 42d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi68d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure67d ago (Edited 67d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer68d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot68d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box68d ago (Edited 68d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno68d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay68d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno67d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK67d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
