Ubisoft has 8 games coming to the wii u. And three of them I want. Them being ZombiU, Rayman Legends, and Assassins Creed 3. And they all look like they work well with the wii u controller. Nintendo though I don't know. I am never played pikmin and the fact they are saying play it with the wiimote makes me wonder why they could not have just kept it on wii (graphics were not needed). And NSMB U does not look like it uses the controller outside of multiplayer. With two of its big games they are already ignoring the selling point of the system. Ubisoft seems to get it but not nintendo. And I don't want to get into nintendoland because if I do I know I will be banned. I want to see core games from nintendo that use the controller to make new experiences, not have to hope that third parties (which are few and far between) gets it before nintenodo.

Technically Nintendo gave development kits to Ubisoft so Nintendo does want you to buy Wii U too, obviously.

Nintendo just needs more time to finish Wii U games. Nintendo Land, Mario Bros U and Pikmin 3 all look super impressive IMO.

It is shaping up to have an amazing launch line up

I was really hoping to see another Zelda game, but I think that's asking for too much.

Personally I feel this is great. The Wii had some good third party support, but I can already see the Wii U going a lot further in that espect. Besides, Pikmin 3 alone was enough for me to be swayed over to buy the console (though probably not at launch).

Good points you have made but I think we should let Nintendo deal with the casuals and let the 3rd partys do their bit. I was disappointed with no announcements for Resident evil 6, call of duty, medal of honour Fifa 13 & gta 5 for the Wii U. There are no excuses to have these games not announced. The Wii U is a powerhouse and is more then capable to run these games. I remember Nintendo saying the Wii missed out on great games because of the hardware but whats wrong with these damn developers not making these games for the Wii U the system has been known for a year now. Of course we want games like mario zelda ect, But if Nintendo expect to sell millions of Wii U consoles they need both sets of casual and hardcore games. Appart from ZombiU & Assassins creed 3 its just casual games again. Things need to change and fast. Its about time these 3rd party developers treated Nintendo with a bit more respect and give all us fans hardcore games. Nintendo have done their bit by releasing a HD console and all now its down to them.

Personally I'm glad the Wii Remote is still going to be relevant.

Anyways, of course Ubisoft doesn't want you to buy a Wii U more than Nintendo does, but I wouldn't blame you for thinking so based on the conference. :P

Ubisoft was one of the only few good things about the Nintendo conference. Ubisoft owned their own conference, and then owned Nintendo's conference.

Its up to Nintendo to attract 3rd parties..pride ain't gonna get you far. I always think why not just ask?...sure they release a great hardware, but nothing wrong with asking.

lol of course you were, there is no way they would have anything remotely show for the next Zelda already. Ubi definitely had a good show(host not withstanding) Legends, ZombiU and AC3 are definitely games I would pick up at a launch. Nintendo did a good job I think, they have Pikmin and they have Mario, the latter will sell and is a safety net. But it wont completely overshadow the 3rd party, so it wont be a repeat of the 3DS.

You would think it wouldnt be too hard to have a good e3 showing. Give the people what they want, which was

-See what the graphics capabilities are like. ( show real time tech demos of what Zelda, Metroid etc could look like )

-Show network functionality. ( have a local network set up and actually show it in action )

-Show controller functionality. ( this could be done while showing games or the tech demos )

-Show third party support including those dancing games as you have to satisfy every customer.

Its a new console and the best we get is a heap of sneak peaks, little to no information.

actually pikmin 3, and they were vocal on that, heavily relies on the tablet + wiimote and nunchuk to provide a level of strategy and dynamism previously only possible on PCs.

Well there was that tech demo a whole year ago featuring Link. A decent number of people in the industry were expecting at least some kind of Zelda news.

Yep, surprisingly I want to buy a Wii U only for Ubisoft games at this moment. Usually its for Nintendo games. Though I also want pikmin and NSMBs. Plus they are bound to make a zelda for it.

And those people set a poor example for the industry. No way Zelda was going to make E3 unless it was an HD collection

Nintendo had 10 games for many different audiences

Nintendo Land (Casual) (Minigame collection)
New Super Mario Bros. U (Casual/Core) (Platformer)
Pikmin 3 (Core) (Mass Action Strategy)
Wii Fit U (Casual) (Fitness)
Wii U Panorama View (Tech Demo)
SiNG (Casual) (Music/Party)
Lego City Undercover (Casual/Core) (Action/Adventure)
Project P-100 (Core) (Mass Hero Action)
Game & Wario (Casual) (Party)
Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge (Core) (Action)

Nintendo is publishing all of those titles. The bolded titles are new IPs.

Edit* All of these are Launch window.

before everyone starts hyping ubisoft's games....remember that red steel 1 was a launch game from then for the Wii. hey, i enjoyed it, but it was a failure of a game. No matter to me though, i will be getting a Wii U day 1 and ZombiU as well.

Then a decent number of people were fooling themselves and the audience, there was no way that was gonna happen. I said months ago, that Nintendo to avoid a 3DS incident, would focus on games at(near) launch. If I could figure that out, anyone in the industry should be able to.

I'm not saying they were correct, but no matter what games they "focused on" it wouldn't have changed the launch line up.

This is the way a system's library should look, first party games shouldn't be the majority.
