Third Party Support For The Wii U Gets Stronger- Are We Looking At Next Gen PS2?

EA just confirmed that the Wii U will be getting the next Battlefield. Moreover, Ubisoft has already confirmed the development of a Wii U exclusive Assassins Creed, there is a Wii U exclusive Tekken, the Wii U enhanced Nina Gaiden 3. Is this a sign of better third party suppot for Nintendo's next console? EA, Ninja Theory, Rocksteady, Ubisoft, Activision, Irrational, Sega, Epic, Crytek, Bioware, DICE, Treyarch, Bethesda, Kojima, THQ Konami, Team Ninja, Capcom and Gearbox have all already confirmed an interest in/projects in progress on the Wii U. Are we looking at what will, if handled correctly, become the next generation's PS2?

So the Wii U title with its superior hardware will be > than PS3 and 360 version?

rofl

inb4: PC version still the best. No s***

hardly surprising. if Wii is as powerfull as PS360 EA will ported there

the question is will people play it consider how bad connection between Ninty and Online ;)

we all know wii U is more powerfull than PS360. but will people just buy Wii U to get better graphic?

NO!

since people who think that probably buy PC instead

the Controller will be interesting it can be make game much better...or much worse

Meh, FPS...but it would be interesting to see how they pretend to use the controller.

Anybody else looking forward to playing a Zelda/Mario/ Starfox game with Next Gen graphics. :shock:

Comfort doesn't mean anything if the controls aren't precise and sensitive. That was the problem with the gamecube controller. It curved with the hand and didn't feel out of place at all, but it was bad for FPS games because the joysticks felt weird and the bumper/trigger buttons just weren't accurate enough for FPS.

That controller can add soooooooo much to the tiring fps genre.

Oh my god.....

A Pokemon Game Thrid Person RPG with next Gen Graphics.

Make it happen Nintendo, make it happen.......

lol good luck with that one

[QUOTE="charizard1605"] Eh, I hope not. The thing looks... well, odd to hold, but all hands on previews stated that it is unexpectedly comfortable. We'll see, I suppose.charizard1605

Yup. But i'm not going to expect anything great. When the Wii was announced I thought it would be the greatest thing ever for FPS games and I played it once and found out how wrong I was. Luckily this new one has dual analogue sticks, so it shouldn't be too bad, although the dual analogues are ABOVE the other buttons on the pad, which is kind of weird. But we'll see.

So you can wait to buy a game system to play a game that came out a year sooner on a console you probably already own?

Sadly and as awesome as it could be...it probably will never happend, i remember Satoshi Tajiri saying that he didn't want Pokemon to be on consoles since he believes the experience is more suited for handhelds.

Don't be so sure. Nintendo is aware of their fumbles with the 3DS launch. If WiiU were to launch with a 3D Pokemon RPG it would sell the consoles INSTANTLY.

Obviously first again.Wii U will do a PS2 and have the highest selling consoles and games.

And the nextbox and PS4 will be again 2 gens behind the PC in terms of graphics.If graphics are so important than you need to play on the PC anyway.People like you dont belong to the consoles in the first place.

Just says "next Battlefield" could be anything, could be Bad Company 2 WiiU edition. Who knows.

fadersdream

Read past the headlines. It's talking about Battlefield 3.

If Commander returns, I'll buy a copy for the Wii-U just because.

[QUOTE="dracolich55"]So 7th gen multiplats will be on ta 8th gen console? Interesting.... When the Nextbox and PS4 hit the shelves, the WiiU will be in the position the wii is in now.The_Pacific

and no multiplat support *i assume that's what he meant*.

I imagine you will be able to use the Wii Remote and Nunchuk for this,so I'm not complaining.

Looks like EA wasn't kidding when it said that it would be fully supporting the Wii U. Is this a sign of better third party suppot for Nintendo's next console? EA, Ninja Theory, Rocksteady, Ubisoft, Activision, Irrational, Epic, Crytek, Bioware, Bethesda, Kojima, Konami, Team Ninja, Capcom and Gearbox have all already confirmed an interest in/projects in progress on the Wii U. Are we looking at what will, if handled correctly, become the next generation's PS2?

d'that what im think about it, WiiU need a promise Online and no friend codes system only.

so nintendo will get a taste of 3rd party support.....well at least until the Nextbox/Ps4 launch, then it will be the same as with the wii.

These aren't next-gen games. They're current-gen games being ported to another system. Assuming the PS4/720 are backwards compatible, they'll already have every game the Wii U has, plus a lot more.

Remember... install base is irrelevant if the system isn't powerful enough to justify a port, and if hardcore gamers buy their games on other systems (ie. the Wii). It seems like a lot of Nintendo fans are now in a state of 'hoping' that MS/Sony don't release powerful systems. Rather than living in such a state of uncertainty, I would urge potential Wii U buyers to just wait this out and see what happens.
