Oy. It must be easy to be so short-sighted that you can judge consoles by virtue of their general play style.
I really wonder if you even know the meaning of the word gimmick.
Because Nintendo supports families and have been marketing the Wii U as a console for families. Nintendo is also publishing Ninja Gaiden III Razor's Edge.
As in kids AND adults. Pixar does the same thing with their movies; it's not that difficult a concept to grasp.
And why are you even questioning it? Without Nintendo stepping in, the game may never have even existed.
Oh so we're going to pull the "it sucked anyway" card. Stay classy.
Have fun waiting then. Mass Effect and Dead Rising never hit the PS3 though, so there's just as much of a chance of the game never being ported. Not many Nintendo games that don't share the Rare name are on other consoles, by the way.
Ninja Gaiden III on Wii U put BACK dismemberment when the 360/PS3 versions don't.
Pretty accurate though.
What about Wii gamers who never got to experience Dead Rising or Resident Evil 5? Congrats, you're feeling their same bite. And before you accuse me of being bitter, don't even. I own a PS3 and a 360 and have both games.
So boo-hoo for you I guess. I'm doing the productive thing and supporting both the new console and the new installment. If people are too pissy to do the same because they hate Nintendo, then it's honestly no skin off my nose. I get an awesome...

"console just barely puts them a step ahead of the current gen consoles everyone else has."
*Sigh* Another one of those people.
The 3DS came after the DS yet its launch lineup was not as good. I don't think time has anything to do with it.
"When the 360/PS4 come out they'll probably have double the RAM that the Wii U does."
Based on what? Where's this spec sheet you apparently have? Are you aware that the 360 and PS3 had 512MB of RAM? The Wii U's RAM is almost four times that.
And while we're on the subject, RAM does not necessarily make ...
"Waaah waaah Nintendo has no multiplats on Wii!"
"Waaah waaah Nintendo has too many multiplats on Wii U!"
The first two words in your name are appropriate.
Because gamers were so lost Dead Rising 2 and Mass Effect 2 appeared on PS3 despite there being no ports of their predecessors?
Why is this such a big deal for a Nintendo console when it's happened before dozens of times throughout the decade? It's just self-entitled whining because are too anal to accept that Nintendo is actually focusing on core game support for a change.
Because people are uninformed morons who don't know the first thing about "doing their homework" before angrily mouthing off.
The fact that anyone is attacking Platinum over this is just pathetic.
@Carl_Shocker
First of all, it isn't "couldn't of," it's "couldn't have." If you're capable of using basic punctuation, don't butcher your grammar.
Why wouldn't they accept an offer from a company as wealthy as Nintendo? They may not be the mega-conglomerate status that say Microsoft or Sony achieve but as far as game companies go, they know how to make money.
Also I think you're completely ...
You know, it's a good thing I'm getting a Wii U and probably Bayonetta 2 some time at a later date. At the very least it separates me from the unbelievable morons in those twitter posts.
This is a fact of the industry. Shit like this happens. Nintendo saves a franchise that people happened to like and they and the creators are being shit on for it. It goes to show just how spoiled the video game consumer has become.
Keep in mind Treyarch has done Wii CoDs before. They're more familiar with Wii tech than Move tech.
Declassified is not much more than an afterthought, I'd imagine. Have you seen the game in motion? If you're getting CoD, you may as well just get the regular version on PS3 (assuming that's your console of choice).
I'm really happy the Mario game turned out to be Chase Mii. As a proud owner of Pac-Man Vs., that game is going to be played quite often with me and my buddies.
Beginning?
Well considering they're marketing it as a family system, then yes. As long as it works better than the crappy TV service on Xbox Live, I'm sure it'll be fine, especially since it's free.
@kneon
It's a good thing you missed my point on the hardware entirely. The 360 came out a year before the PS3, yet their games are roughly the same despite the PS3 having supposedly stronger tech.
