[QUOTE="OreoMilkshake"][QUOTE="ultraking"]rayman is safe I would think but watch dogs tho... that's getting cancelled for sureultraking
Mind telling us why?

cost too much to bring it over with having such a small install base and all.

Ubisoft themselves said it was cheap to port to Wii U and the Miiverse community is excited as hell.

I get all my ubisoft games for PC anyways. Nintendo needs to step it up and release some big selling 1st party titles, not just Pikmin 3, which sadly no one seems pumped about but me....

I'm not a fan of Ubisoft games, but that certainly sucks for sheep and Wii U only owners.

No surprise. Nintendo did it to themselves by telling everyone what they wanted instead of listening to people tell Nintendo what they wanted. Nintendo has told us that "We don't want online gaming." , "We dont care about HD." , "We don't care about applications, power, graphics, movies....ect." Nintendo and their little arragant ways and their milked cartton characters were always in for a rude awakening this coming game cycle. Everyone knew it, and still, Sheep really though Nintendo was gonna compete after they got lucky with the Wii.

In hindsite, looking back at the Wii and it's game line-up is painful. Probaby the worst console not named Jaguar or 3D0.

I would not go that far.   The Wii was  a pretty decent system with some good games.   And I owned a 3D0 and it was a pretty good system once the really good games started to come out.    Problem is, by the time things picked up for the 3D0, the Saturn and Playstation were already on the market.

 

I do agree with the Jaguar though:)  That system sucked.

It also didn't help that the 3DO was like $600-700 when it came out.

Hands down the WORST #1 selling console of any gen cycle. It's all but abandoned. Meanwhile Sony continued to support the PS2 a few years into the PS3.

Another problem with the WiiU - as the next XBox and PS4 start to shine (2-3 years into their life cycle), the Wii U may be so outdated that 3rd party publishers won't port games over due to hardware limitations.

If I were a developer I would say the same. Even as a customer I'm disappointed with Nintendo.

Another blow while games like Assassin's Creed continue to sell the most on Playstation platform. What's so special about the Wiiu again? LOL!

Multiplats should hold things over relatively easily WiiU-wise for now, but when the other next-gen consoles hit the market it'll be up to the developers to determine if it's worth the trouble.

I'm kind of glad to see them failing. Nintendo has been continuing to disappoint me. They are refusing to acknowledge what the consumer wants and are feeling the effects. We want power, graphics, online, etc. not motion controls, the same Mario game, and gimmicks.

Worrisome. Ubisoft has been the biggest third party supporter of the Wii U.DropsofJupiter
What do you think the U stand for? Wii Ubisoft, obviously Ubisoft will feel attach to it.

Ubisoft is the cause of the Wii U sales slump. The Wii U was selling on pace with PS3 and 360 before Ubisoft announced they would delay Rayman Legends; After Rayman Legends was delayed the sales dropped to what they are now.

 

Also the TC didn't read his link properly Ubisoft was talking about dropping PS3 and 360 support when the PS4 and NeXbox get released.
