RUMOR: Three more upcoming games that have been billed as multiplatform will be going Wii U-exclusiv - Polidicks

Even though I'm pretty much on the PC side of gaming, good to hear this. And better if the games in question are actually good. I haven't had a Nintendo console as my primary entertainment source since the Super Nintendo days(ended up getting a Playstation because N64's were apparently in short supply). While I have no desire to get a WiiU(it just doesn't interest me if you must know), I don't want to see it fail and take Nintendo with it as the industry NEEDS Nintendo to be there. I can't really say how, I just feel that Nintendo HAS to be there for everything to work, so I hope these turn things around for them. And the optimistic ratings towards Mega Man Legends talk were actually meant as the people guessing are being optimistic.

My favorite is when PC fanatics bitch about console exclusives, then when a PC game gets brought to consoles they shit on it for being "dumbed down" or the "inferior version". Or when people act like exclusives have no reason to exist. "OH but it means more copies to sell!"... They have no clue how marketing a console works.

shit i hope there's going to be another No More Heroes, that game was tight.

[QUOTE=CottonTM;45098506]Because people who love Nintendo will always love Nintendo, and with them struggling in the current market, anything that puts the ball back in their court is a welcome thing to those loyal. Even if it denies fellow console players the fun of the game, Nintendo is nowhere near where it used to be amongst Sony and Microsoft, and those two will survive based on all of their other products alone.[/QUOTE] I love Nintendo because I have never seen day 1 DLC on my Wii U.

Honestly the only thing missing is Mario Sunshine HD from the Wii U at this point

And the PC->console thing does have some merit. For instance, FEAR 2 and 3 were considerably easier than FEAR 1 which was PC only (though then there's cases like Witcher 2 where they didn't change anything).[/QUOTE] But FEAR 1 wasn't PC only? You can get FEAR and FEAR Files on the 360. And the 360 version was exactly like the PC version.

[QUOTE=Makol;45100033] But FEAR 1 wasn't PC only? You can get FEAR and FEAR Files on the 360. And the 360 version was exactly like the PC version.[/QUOTE] Oh, real? Well, that was a bad research failure on my part, I remember reading somewhere (tvtropes) that it wasn't on X360 and I never recalled seeing it in stores for X360 so I just assumed rather than checking on wikipedia for a tenth of a second.

You were kind of right though. It came out on PC in 2005, then on 360 in 2006, and then in 2007 it came to the PS3.

[QUOTE=Jund;45098735]New doesn't mean good New for Nintendo would be putting up a console with specs that challenge Microsoft's and Sony's tbh[/QUOTE] it's funny you say that because even then it wouldn't even be able to play at 60fps/1080p in fact [url]http://www.cinemablend.com/games/Wii-U-Has-More-Next-Gen-1080p-60fps-Games-Than-Xbox-One-PS4-59924.html[/url] this is actually pretty funny that even the wii u has games that run smoother and look better despite not being as up-to-spec probably because xbox/ps4 titles are trying far too hard to "Look good" that it really just ends up making the game unstable.

I can't wait for the Fatal Frame game for Wii U to come out. The gameplay possible with the gamepad makes me so excited.

They're probably all THQ games or things that have been in development hell. Seems Nintendo's strategy for securing exclusives right now is to snatch up things that other publishers have decided to red-light or cancel on their partners, akin to how Titanfall became Xbone exclusive when EA was planning on killing it due to development-hell.

[QUOTE=rosthouse;45100580]Holy fuck, what isnthis game? Saw the first trailer and thought it was alright. This started out looking like a generic third-person shooter, suddenly they were throwing cabbages around. What?[/QUOTE] It is the best game ever made.

[QUOTE=Novangel;45098365]Wait why is this getting winners? If it was any other platform it'd be getting dumbed to hell. Just curious.[/QUOTE] nitendo is savior of gaming MAAAAN!!! nitendo can't do anything wrong

[QUOTE=Jund;45098735]New doesn't mean good New for Nintendo would be putting up a console with specs that challenge Microsoft's and Sony's tbh[/QUOTE] I'd rather they make a fun console rather than try to compete with how much better their games look. You'd have to be pretty stupid to value what's in a console over how much enjoyment you'd get out of it.

[QUOTE=Novangel;45098365]Wait why is this getting winners? If it was any other platform it'd be getting dumbed to hell. Just curious.[/QUOTE] Yeah I don't understand. Obviously it's good for Nintendo from a business point of view, but it's bad news for any gamer who doesn't own a WiiU.

Actually, I'd love to know if these games were in the same position as Bayonetta was, without a publisher until Nintendo stepped in.
