You don't have a Wii U. And you're just a troll.
- X is not just slated for Japan. It was at a North American Nintendo Direct, Nintendo has already confirmed it for NA.
It's not a weak ass system. Your letting the media get in your ear about it. X looks good, and Retro's new project will be stunning.
"But games like that will not hold the user base forever."
Sorry but I have to disagree. Zelda, Mario and Smash Bros are great franchises that will continue to be around and sell millions of units.
Developers put their C and D teams on the Wii. So they got poor results in the process. Why doesn't a third party company make a game as good as Mario Galaxy on Wii? You don't need PS3 level graphics to have a good game and sell well on Wii. <...
Actually ZombiU is around 500K if you include the eShop sales.
And the game is not that great. It's lacking online multiplayer, multiple melee weapons, new game plus, and a host of other features that come in most modern games.
I think it actually sold well for where the game is rated.
Forgot Warner Bros! Batman Origins, and Injustice Gods Among Us.
Yet there developing a game for the PS4? How big is that install base? Zero I think.....
And the Wii's fanbase is huge! Did they make any games for that system? NOPE!
All right Avalanche....I can smell BS from a miles away in your statements. Just stop. You don't want to develop for the Wii U cause you think the PS4 is much better.
You don't have to make all these excuses. Develop for whatever system or systems you want.
Want me to explain all the things X does that other games don't? Or do you want to watch a video on it? Take your pick.
And don't kid yourself, X looks more than a "HD" Version of Xenoblade.
Except in the jrpg category
We've already seen Killzone Shadow Fall....and I was not blown away. Now Monolith's new game X...Blew me away with the combination of GAMEPLAY & GRAPHICS.
Your comparison does nothing to prove your point. Crysis 3, which runs on a better engine than Frostbite 2, ran on the Wii U flawlessly.
- Are you trying to say Frostbite 2 is better or more "CPU" heavy than CryEngine 3?
EA is butthurt....why are you so damn dense?
DivineAssult you don't know what you're talking about. Nintendo has plenty of first party games to show off at E3.
I would believe that, but here's the thing then. Why does Mass Effect, a game that also relies on CPU, run better on Wii U over the PS3 version and on par with the 360 version, if the CPU is so bad? Is it magic?
How many games are like Epic Mickey?
Now how many FPS flood the market?
The Wii U doesn't have a "less CPU" than the PS3 and 360. It has a slower "clock speed" but it's whole different build.
And it's a GPGPU so the GPU helps the CPU out. Frostbite 3 is totally possible on the Wii U. DICE and EA are just butthurt over the whole Origin fiasco.
The comments here are kind of stupid. CryEngine 3, Anvil, Unreal 3+4, Hedgehog, and so many other engines run on Wii .
EA and DICE were too damn lazy to port the engine over. EA is still butthurt over the whole origin fiasco.
@LOL Wut
"Because at this point they should start considering paying for 3rd party support. ;)"
The Wonderful 101, Bayonetta 2, Lego City Undercover, Monster Hunter 3?????
Gaming doesn't need this "dumb" game. It sucks ass, just another piece of EA shovelware. Stupid bro dude game that you would have to be high to spend $60 on. EA can keep their trash.
I remember when the 3DS got doom article after doom article...some things never change.
He said nothing interests him but Mario. And it's not like he said he is looking forward to other games on the Wii U.
The Wii U lacks the shooters PS3 and Xbox 360 fans love. So that's why I assumed that.
However, if you like RPG and action games, there should be plenty of games that interest him.
June 2013 for The WOnderful 101
August 2013 for Pikmin 3
Xenoblade 2 late 2013 in Japan, early 2014 america
...
You must be a shooting game fan. Because the Wii U has tons of great RPG and Action games coming.
Xenoblade 2, The Wonderful 101, Bayonetta 2, Pikmin 3, Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem,
And it seems you missed my point.
The same amount of effort that was put into the PS3 and Xbox 360, was not put into the Wii.
When developers actually tried, they had pretty good results.
