I enjoy the occasional Shoot'em Up as of the likes of CoD, Timesplitters, Gears, Resident Evil especially when you can play Co-Op in your own living room with one using the Tablet and the other person using the TV. Do you think the WiiU will get many of these types of games in the near future as currently from the top of my head that there will only be MW3 this year which is kind of a downer as i'm not to interested in IW offerings.

And the variation in control schemes is quite awesome from using nunchuck, tablet and Pro Controller.

PS : I'm not a Bro-Gamer who just plays shooters but i enjoy variation of games from Platformers to RPG's.

Hmm. Possibly. I'd imagine after the devs stop circle jerking over the new consoles this holiday, they might start supporting the Wii U a bit more in the second half of 2014. At which point you might see some shooters down scaled from the PS4 and One. But I wouldn't count on being a huge amount of them.

I would like to see a shooter that is specifically for the WiiU.

A good exclusive 007 to use with the tablet controller for all his gadgets.

Or a Golgo:13 game.

A good 007 game would be perfect but all we have gotten was a terrible and forgettable Legends and I don't remain hopeful as a result.

Minus platformers, I think that area has been covered quite well.

I was thinking more of the lines of something entirely new. A game which incorperates the WiiU Tablet to a fashion. Maybe a TPS or FPS with features like a Turret Gun which is controlled manually by the WiiU Tablet while you are running and gunning or even CCTV device. Maybe a Cluster Grenades which you use the Tablet to aim with with the GyroScopes and what not. I'm sure there could be some better uses to the tablet.

I'm shocked they haven't ported over Goldeneye 007: Reloaded to the Wii U for a cheap price. It started off as a Wii game after all. But yeah as someone else said a Tmesplitters would be amazing.

Metroid Prime is the only real exclusive FPS series they've got really. They need something like a Halo, Gears of War, or Destiny, but exclusive. Playstation has Killzone and Resistance.

If they make a new Metroid Prime, I think they could include a online MP component to the game similar to MP Hunters and with optional touch controls.

But I personally feel FPS makers aren't too fond of the WiiU seeing as how Crysis 3, BioShock Infinite, Metro: Last Light and Battlefield 4 were all cancelled for the WiiU and Black Ops 2 underperformed in sales.

And vice-versa may be true too, namely that the heads at Nintendo aren't too fond of FP shooters either. (altho ZombiU is technically a FPS)

The Wii U has some interesting technology that I'm sure could get used to make a great FPS if it's used properly :).

Wii U could do with some more 3D games. Between NSMBU, the Rayman Challenges app, and Virtual console games it seems like almost everything I play on it is a 2D platformer.

That is a problem i see happening this holiday beteen Rayman, Donkey Kong, and Mario. While all great games, it leads to little difference in their gameplay.

BO2 is alright especially 2 players online. Sadly the content is lacking so i can understand why it hasnt sold so well. I think their was 2900 people online when i popped on earlier. Maybe some Vanquish 2 would be nice from platinum games. Crap... what am i doing on here..

Another reason Nintendo should bite the bullet and make Platinum a second party. At least a long term partnership that at some point includes a sequel to Vanquish and Viewtiful Joe (I have no idea who owns that IP anymore...)

Capcom own vuewtiful joe as he was in Tatsunoko vs Capcom. I think platinum is needed also on the roster as they have no developer of that type.

Personally, I'd like to see a Mega Man TPS/adventure platformer for the WiiU similar to Mega Man Legends but better.

Since he will be a playlable character in SSB.4, I think it would be nice if they made a new MM game too.

As a console that is still young, it still has a large number of genres to cover in a satisfying manner, but right now I would like to see a great adventure game. I do not feel like waiting for Zelda to arrive to get that.

Darksiders 2 is worth a nose at if you havent previously played it. Mix of Zelda, Prince of Persia and some RPG elements.

Every FPS that's ever been on a Nintendo console has sold pretty poorly. Unless there is one I'm forgetting. The Conduit got a sequel but both underperfomed.

get a new Singularity on WiiU

Soldier of Fortune is long overdue.  Get that game and let nobody but Raven Software develop it.

Geist would like a Sequel

Hexen wants a new game Nintendo

Turok (Buy the IP from Rare/Microsoft) could be great on WiiU

Perfect Dark would love a good sequel to 64.  PDZ never existed.  Buy it from Rare and give it to Free Radical. (My God, just listening to this music makes me want to play through it again).

Just saying, there are alot of FPS that could be on it.

 

I know buying the IP's from Rare/Microsoft has about the chance of Duke Nukem Forever being a good game but I can wish can't I?

I figured, but I just had to. :P

Cause you know those sold well!  Hell those games are some of hte main ones who really helped the N64.

But a Nintendo specific game could work, a 007 that utilizes the tablet controller.

But I would prefer a Golgo:13 game.. Though I have a feeling that might be a little too mature for current Nintendo.

I agree with you on all of it.  Except 2 things.

1. Turok is by Acclaim, and as far as I know, RARE, or MS had nothing to do with it. 

2. Add Golgo:13 to that list.  Last game I played of that series was on the NES.  which wasn't an FPS or TPS, but the game could easily be one.

I think Disney owns the Turok franchise now.

I haven't heard too positive things about the reboot though.

There exists a neat Hexen mod for Doom 3 by the way (you need a PC to play):

There's a lot of different shooters.

When people say "shooter" today, they ususally mean the formulaic FPS or TPS game.

But there are also rail shooters, space shooters, shooter/platformer hybrids, ect.

Personally, I'd rather play a really good rail/space shooter than another formulaic military/sci-fi FPS.
