Hey look! I made a topic! YAY!

Now that he cannot talk about Nintendo's financial situation since they have released to the public how much money they have in reserve, he goes onto comment about the Wii U's supposed 'lack' of Third-Party support and how it will determine Nintendo's stand in the way of it's competition.

http://www.vg247.com...ort-for-wii-u/?

“I really think the key is third party support, and from what I’m hearing, it is very light so far. Nintendo will be all right, they have a ton of cash, but I don’t think they will get to the sales levels they are accustomed to with this device. I’m most interested in third-party support, and we should get an idea of that at E3.”

I find it odd that he suddenly thinks Nintendo will be 'all right' when I do recall he was making 'doom' articles on Nintendo's situation.

“I think ‘same’ power level [as current gen consoles] is probably right, as it doesn’t make sense to ask third parties to do something significantly differently for the Wii U than for the 360 or PS3,”

Vigil Games says otherwise...


I know Pachter is an annoying prick but he is up for some decent discussion, especially on a pro-Nintendo site such as this forum where we can blissfully debunk his ideas. And he's easy to make fun of.
He hasn't really said anything to bash Nintendo which I personally find surprising, though he is another one of those people who think the Wii U will be on 'par' with the current generation.

Screw Pachter. He's just a big troll.

[Deadly Virus]

Oh my god, the way he switched so quickly from saying "Nintendo is doomed! The Wii U will flop!" to "They'll be alright!" is hilarious.. This guy is an absolute joke.

Get ready for next year: "The Wii U is a fad! It doesn't matter if they have all the 3rd parties, the games won't seeellllll!"

I gotta say, normally Pachter is a huge troll, but he actually brings up a legitimate issue here. Third party support is greatly needed, and while the Wii U does have some support, it doesn't have a ton of support from a ton of companies.

But that could all change some E3, so what the heck do I know.

[Plutonas]

wrong topic title.. it should be " Patcher prays for wii U, not to have 3rd party support "

I think patcher once was a nintendo employee, and nindendo did a fatality move :" FUS RO DAH" and patcher found him self in the middle of pacific ocean.

since then he does in daily bases, voodoo against nintendo.

Did you knew that patcher was once a nintendo employee who got fired? Since then they use him for marketing purposes against nintendo, as he hates Nintendo.. lol

That image is the most epic thing ever.

[Nollog]

I think he was trying to be as diplomatic as he could with that statement, and you're taking it too hard.
He said wait for e3, which is where he will, along with the rest of us get some actual news about third party support.

Patcher is an idiot, he spreads crap about everything. Take this with a pinch of salt.

agreed... i like to bash on the guy as much as anyone, but they were some of his more moderate statements. 3rd party support really is a key issue with this console's success (as well as a key determiner of how 3rd parties will develop games for the 'next gen'), and i am waiting for e3 with a fair bit of earnestness because of this very issue.

[Caius Casshern Sins]

I have to agree with Patcher on the Wii U's third party support is important and how good those games are. He is also right that we should wait for E3 to see if this factor is address.

If you watch Pach Attack, he addresses the fact that the console has potential and we all know it does. The problem is who other than the hardcore buys it? If you want to entice other console owners then you need games that they would play, those are mainly third party games. If there isn't much third party support then it's back to being a first party only machine. Most of Pachters comments are taken out of context, he has said before that we won't know until E3. So I say we all get into a Skype call and talk about our predictions and expectations.

[AegisReflector]

I don't get why people hate Patcher so much despite the fact that he does sometimes make valid arguments. I honestly have a very high skepticism of the WiiU myself simply because the original Wii just left me with utter disappointment. But really, we need to discuss the things that made Wii an average console and that didn't appeal to the masses and then try to turn it around for the WiiU. But naturally, you're gonna have guys who think that the Wii was an utter failure and therefore the WiiU will follow the same track. It's not so much hate as it is ignorance. It's all a matter of opinion.

I don't get it either, I guess they don't like opinions

No. Good trolls are clever. Patchter's a crying baboon. Crying baboons are not clever.

[Nin_Stream]

He is an idiot.


That is all.

[Stewox]

I don't really care about 3rd parties to be honest.

I even like that some 3rd parties are not going to do anything. (but we all know it's going to be good support anyways)


That's because i don't want the stupid demography of crazy kids and stupid 13old racist, trolls, and no-lifers to be plaguing the nintendo online services. I don't want to see call of duty on wiiu - hopefully activision is stupid enough to not support wiiu

Earlier, he claimed that Nintendo is in "complete disaray" and that they blew it with the Wii U and that the Wii U is an "Xbox 360 with a tablet controller," all of which flies in the face of the recent comments he just made. Pachter has a tendency to make some outrageous claims in the past (and then does a Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde switch later). We're not trying to get him arrested or make him pay a fine for his comments and his "analysis." We're just saying that it is BS. Since you're familiar with Pachter (whether you are on his side or not), you should at least understand why he gets so much animosity here and elsewhere.

[Alianjaro]

Pachter, you donkey brained s-- sorry moderators, I couldnt hold myself...

DISCLAIMER-- This is not hate. That's truth.
