I would like there to be more "multiplatform"-games on Wii U. Currently there are a lot PS3/Xbox 360-games not announced for Wii U as well and I just dont care that much about those that are being revealed (The Amazing Spider-Man or Disney Infinity or whatnot). I want games like Tomb Raider, Lightning Returns, The Walking Dead, Cyberpunk 2077, GTA V, Metal Gear Solid, Remember Me and so on.
Not because I think all platforms should have the same games but since i sold my past-gen platforms for Wii U i would like to see some better support for it. At least excited and glad over Capcom announcing Resident Evil: Revelations for it.

In my mind Wii U is (will become) the perfect combination of Gamecube and Wii so I hope to see a lot of the really great multiplayer/party-games such as Wii Sports and Super Smash Bros on the platform combined with great singleplayer-adventure games (like Zelda and Metroid Prime) as well as some Nintendo-franchises that we havent seen in a while, such the already confirmed Pikmin 3, but also F-Zero and Starfox.
Im not sure what to expect in terms of second and third-party games but it seems that a lot of PS360-games will be ported/updated, at least in the beginning of its lifespan. But hopefully we will see some great games from such studios and publishers as well.
Maybe Nintendo will close some interesting third-party deals such as they did during the Gamecube-era (with Capcom, Namco, Square Enix and Konami and so on).

sadly. im sure once many more dev companies jump ship and make successful games, i bet they would jump on. bethesda or even bioware RPGs could work so well with this gamepad. your inventory, making your dialog choices, messing with hotkeys or assigned spells/buttons, picklocking stuff on the small screen. so many uses. I'm sure they will give in eventually if they see the money and opportunity.

I really would like to see the Game of the Year-edition of Skyrim on Wii U, but it remains to be seen if Bethesda will change their mind or not.
But since they are, at the core, computer-game developers I really dont think they will find Wii U any more interesting then they find the Wii. I.e not at all. They will be looking for the most sweaty hardware out there because in the end thats what gonna get consumers excited about the next Fallout or The Elder Scrolls.
Same with BioWare and Obsidian.

But yes, i agree that these kind of games would fit very well with the WiiPad. Luckily these kind of games are developed by far more different companies today (even though BioWare and Bethesda is in a class of their own) so we could still see some games like these on the Wii U.
I guess maybe theres a chance for Dragon Age 3 if Mass Effect 3 gets good sales.

Tomb Raider: Directors Cut (Possibly developed by Straight Right)

Starfox Adventures U (HD Remake or Sequel, either way)

Metroid Prime 4 (Preferably being more of a FPA then a FPS, like the original)

The Legend of Zelda (Such as it was shown in the Wii U Tech Demo)

Two Worlds III (With Reality Pump developing Sacrilegium on the Wii U im also hoping for this)

Shadows of the Eternals (Funding seems to be failing. Hopefully Nintendo picks it up for a retail-Eternal Darkness 2 release)

Beyond Good and Evil 2 (With Ubi Montpellier taking a special interest in Wii U i would be hoping for this)

ZombiU 2 (Really enjoyed the original)

Super Mario 64-2 (I would like the next 3D-Mario to be set in Mushroom Kingdom)

Paper Mario RPG (A true sequel to The Thousand Year Door)

Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles 3 (Preferably in the same style as The Crystal Bearers)

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate (With the success of 3 Ultimate this seems likely)

The Evil Within (Shinji Mikamis new Survival Horror-game)

Wolfenstein: The New Order (Not much for Wolfenstein, but with the director of the Darkness this is interesting)

Saints Row 4 (Because it looks out of control)

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow II (Not a huge fan of the preducesor but just the thought of a new Castlevania on a Nintendo-platform makes me shiver)

Final Fantasy: Lightning Returns (Its FF XIII-2 with a touch of Majoras Mask! What can go wrong? Nothing!)

Killer is Dead - Its a Killer 7 / No More Heroes-mash up and belongs on a Nintendo platform

South Park: The Stick of Truth - With Ubisoft postphoning the game from "Spring" to "2013" I am hoping that there will be a Wii U version as well

The Walking Dead - The Telltale seasons

Deadpool - Activision has put all other multiplatform-games on the Wii U so far, why not this one?

 

 

 

Apart from that, I guess everything's covered, I'd like to see more RPGs on the horizon though, since I can only think of 1 that's coming to Wii U.

 

1) X (Monolith)

2) Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem (Atlus, Intelligent Systems)

3) Dragon Quest X (Square Enix)

4) Romance of the Three Kingdoms XII (Tecmo Koei)

 

There are also A LOT MORE coming regarding RPGs on the eShop

If it's a multiplat, it will, but the PC version will rock the WiiU version anyway. But it will be superior to PS3 and 360 versions, but it'll probably appear on next-gen platforms, so we don't know what they'll offer yet.

Bethesda have already confirmed to not support WiiU

I recently sold off most off my video-game collection so it would be more living-room friendly. So now I only have Playstation 3.
And soon a Wii U. The coming years will have to tell if the PS3 will stay or go (If the PS4 will be backwards-compatible or not).

Paper Mario for Nintendo 64

Unless a game is developed by a group in Nintendo or one of their first-party developers then it can't be considered a Nintendo IP.

The point is an IP doesn't have to be developed by a first party studio for it to belong to you.

This is simply not correct. For an example, Sony owns the property for Ratchet & Clank, Heavenly Sword, Resistance and Demons Souls (etc) even though they all were developed by third-party studios. If a publisher have FINANCED a project they are also OWNING it.

I think NSMBU, ZombiU, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Lego City Undercover, Pikmin 3, New Super Luigi U... are reasons to own a Wii U. However, perhaps, on that level that they "only" become really interesting while already having the console - and not titles that makes you MUST HAVE THAT CONSOLE. I think titles such as X, Mario Kart 8, SM3DWorld and the next (not the HD-remaster) The Legend of Zelda will sell consoles to a segment of gamers that after that will get their eyes on these smaller titles - including The Wonderful 101.

Due to Nintendo already having confirmed most games (although not yet showed them) i am more excited about what third-party will bring up (mostly Capcom and Sega). But it definetely will be great to see how the next Mario will look like. And what is Retro Studios working on? This is the time to spill those beans Nintendo! 

It seems like the funding-campaign is failing quite harshly

 

Hopefully Nintendo will pick it up and release it as a retail Eternal Darkness 2.

Will get Ninja Gaiden 3 next, after that i basically have all the must have games. Thinking about getting Amazing Spider-Man or 007 Legends after that, anyone picked them up? Are they worth 30 bucks? 

It looks great and I love everything that ive seen and heard about it so far. Super-excited!
Although i believe that a lot of consumers will think of this game as something that its not and end up getting dissapointed. This is a difficult and single-player oriented survival horror-game specifically designed for the hardcore-gamer crowd. Some consumers problably are expecting Left 4 Dead or something.
I will pick it up at launch and hopefully so will many others.

(Also Ubi Soft Montpellier is one of my favorite devs out there)

At the Wii launch the most interesting game (Twilight Princess) was also on its way for Gamecube and we had "great" third-party support with titles such as Far Cry: Vengeance, Rampage: Total Destruction, Barnyard and Open Season. The Wii U is a huge improvement.

Also the Wii U will sell by itself in the beginning due to the news-worth of the platform itself (and also the New Super Mario Bros is a super-popular franchise), so there is no real reason for Nintendo to put out major-titles such as Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Super Smash Bros or Metroid just yet.

Personally i rather take a console launch with all-new IPs such as ZombiU then a launch with new titles in series we already have played before (lots of times).
And as previously mentioned Nintendo has to make room for third-party publishers. Nintendos own games are so popular that they outshadow basicly everything in third-party territory so its just a part of getting greater support from those companies to give them more market space.

Its beauty is pretty much in the colours.. Textures look almost Perfect Dark Zero. Which I guess are to be expected since its 1) a game that began development on Wii 2) One of Nintendos very first HD-games 3) On a platform that is similar to Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 hardware.

 

I think the most beautiful Wii U game as of yet is Need for Speed: Most Wanted U. When it look its best it looks like Uncharted 2 on wheels.

This is actually a pretty sweet game. Good gameplay, similiar fighting to the Arkham Batman-games, open-world city, lots of references to the Spider-Man universe but also other ones (like the Ninja Turtles). The only thing it lacks is basicly a great storyline (like Arkham City) but then again... its based on the movie and not even the movie had that much of a (good) story. Would definetely recommend people to buy this (Maybe not in March when many other good games are coming out as well, but you know.. April, May..June..July... even August).

Wait, Activision are doing a WiiU game! i thought they didn't think it was worth it?

Well, im guessing that you are referring to Bobby Koticks comment on disappointing sales? Even though that Activision is basicly the one publisher that has shown the most support with third-party content for the platform so far (together with Warner Bros). They have Skylanders Giants, Skylanders Swap Force, Call of Duty Black Ops II, 007 Legends, The Amazing Spider-Man, Angry Birds Trilogy, Cabelas Dangerous Hunts 2013, Nova, Rapala Pro Bass Fishing, The Walking Dead, Transformers Prime and WipeOut 3 announced/released so far. Thats more then any other publisher.

Also in the statement from Kotick the point wasnt to say that "it isnt worth it" but "We're going to have to figure out how to take advantage of the unique capabilities of new hardware, and that requires new skills and investment in tools, and technology and engines"

As with Watch Dogs i am guessing that we will see very few platform-exclusive games this generation due to high development costs. We are most likely to see development as within personal computers where engines are made to be less and more demanding. Like Watch Dogs can look a lot better on Xbox 3, PC and Playstation 4 but still be released on Wii U, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.

Wiiii another port. That's going to..flop! We need new games to get more gamers interested. This should be £20, not £40.

Well, WE dont need to get more gamers interested. Nintendo do. What WE need to do is to show that Wii U owners not only are willing to buy New Super Mario Bros. U. This is a consumer-driven market. If we dont buy third-party games, there wont be any third-party games. Thats how easy it is.

(And there is nothing unique about the situation for Wii U and how it has turned out for other platforms. It took almost 2 years before Playstation 2 got games. When Xbox arrived it had goddamn Blood Wake and a port of Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2. What did Wii have? Far Cry Vengeance and Red Steel? Xbox 360 lived on PS2-ports for almost a year and on Playstation 3 the only third-party games we got early on was the likes of Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End, Spider-Man 3 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Game development takes time and most companies arent willing to put the effort or money in until their is a steady userbase as well as consumers showing interest)

I believe the more "official" logic behind the terms is

Casual - Call of Duty, FIFA, Wii Sports, Singstar etc.
Core - Assassins Creed, Metroid Prime, Uncharted etc.
Hardcore - Demons Souls, Ikaruga, Bangai-O etc.

I dont know. Video-games are a huge part of my life and has been since my childhood. But still, i dont consider myself hardcore. I enjoy playing most kind of games and I dont take pride in playing more then the casual Wii Sports/Call of Duty/FIFA-crowd. I think we are all the same. No need to categorise.

My theory is that EA will be one of the publishers that will go with DRM / Always Online on their next-generation games and that they wont support Nintendo until they let them. There are a lot of EA franchises that i enjoy, but i wont buy them if they come with DRM / Always Online, on any platform. 

New Super Mario Bros. U

Has recently picked up a lot of Wii-games (like 15 or something) so i both feel glad to have gotten my hands on some great games like

Klonoa, Fragile Dreams and Xenoblade Chronicles, to name a few, but also a bit bad since there still are some Wii U-games i would

like to have right now. Oh, money gief.

No, the Wii U pad is what Wii U is all about. I think its the perfect combination of traditional gaming and the whole "Be more involved" thing that have come with DS, Wii, Kinect and so on. One doesnt have to jump around or swing up and down to play. Just look down and use a touchpad once in a while.

What I really want Nintendo to do is to make a new version of the Wiimote with built in batteries (such as the Wii U Pad). I would really like to use Wii U for Wii games as well but i just wont use a controller that uses AA-batteries.

I pre-ordered the ZombiU bundle and New Super Mario Bros U. And I have decided to let it stay at that. At launch. Two great games at Day 1 are enough.

Im definetely picking up the Premium/Deluxe edition. Id rather have a white platform but then again, ill take all the HDD space I can get. I remember my first Playstation 3 which was a 20GB i imported from Japan. Not much memory to play around with.. so I would never, by choice, choose to have only 8GB.
Also, since the sensor-bar aint coming with the Basic i just see it as an uncomplete package since many Wii U games actually will support, some even require, Wiimotes. Not to mention the Wii-backwardscompatibility and Virtual Console-games. (Which i hear wont be playable on the WiiU Pad).

what does this mean exactly, explain?, anyone?

does it mean network fee?

As I understand it it means that the discount will apply until 2014. After that you will have a regular account.
