THQ: Only took 5 weeks with 3 people to port Darksiders 2 to Wii U.

This is good, but please dont flood it with ports.

Your right, I guess I just do not want the Wii U to go the early wii route and the only good 3rd party games were ports.(I still need to play manhunt 2).

why would it be hard to believe a stronger system would have better graphics?.....are you joking?

[QUOTE="Mario1331"]

[QUOTE="Arbiterisl33t69"] Why, because its Nintendo? It was easy for developers to port DS2, that and it has been said many times Wii U will be stronger than PS3. Arbiterisl33t69

Ports are really the last thing it needs. The market is so oversatued with multiplats that a system getting a port is pretty irrevleant nowadays, espeically since most people who own Wiis probbaly got one of the HD twins as well. As I've been saying, it's in a rare situation where it needs third party exclusives more than it needs ports to say it has credible third-party support.

hmmmm buy a new console to play games i can already play on my PS3/360

i think ill pass nintendo.

Great Nintendo has a port machine. If its really more powerful than PS3 and Xbox then it'll be a lazy ordeal THQ just saying "Oh it's ok it's got 1Gb RAM nevermind optimizing it!".JohnF111

The Wii should have been getting darksiders 2, thats why people complain. WiiU, a "next gen" console, getting a current gen port is nothing to cheer about.

If the WiiU really is next gen, it should be getting 3rd party heavey hitters built for it, which it won't. Instead it will get current gen ports until the 720/PS4, by which it will then be too weak for 3rd parties to bother with and will become a 1st party only machine again.

How do you know that. It could end up being a PS2 situation with third party's minus the incredibly high over 100 million consoles sales part.

Much of the X360 sucess is at the expense of sony's stumbles, not because of the ports.

Sounds like the Wii U will get a lot of straight ports of Xbox 360 and PS3 versions. Not exactly what I would call great third party support.KC_Hokie

the wiiU needs to have great exclusives for me to buy it (i dont play mario or kiddie games) along with a great online service. Iam not going to buy a

brand new console just to play multiplats.

I loved zelda back in the days

[QUOTE="KC_Hokie"][QUOTE="Ravensmash"]Why does that matter if they take advantage of the hardware/controller, and is supplemented by a solid first party and 3rd party exclusive effort? The 360 did the same at the start of this gen for a while....worked out fine.Ravensmash

You really bought into Nintendo's 'third party' spiel, didn't you.

[QUOTE="Ravensmash"][QUOTE="KC_Hokie"]The first year for Xbox 360 games were bad. Go back and play some. The Wii U is only going to get Xbox 360 and PS3 ports. And after the PS4 and next Xbox come out those will dry up.KC_Hokie

[QUOTE="KC_Hokie"]

[QUOTE="Ravensmash"] Those "bad" games were still the best versions of multiplats. Your prediction is merely that - and you could say that for the PS4 or 720 if they were in the Wii-U's position. This is demonstrating that the console is incredibly easy to develop/port for, as Nintendo have said. And that can go a long way in fulfilling a strong 3rd party.WreckEm711

[QUOTE="Ravensmash"] So how is this a bad thing? Would it be better for Nintendo if the developers said "porting the game is incredibly hard and takes 3/4 of the team"? I didn't buy in to anything, you just seem to be spinning a negative on a positive.Ravensmash

Other than that it's awesome.

It simply doesn't happen for consoles caught in between generations (Dreamcast, Wii).

At least they were honest enough to say that they didnt upgrade any of the assets.
