While up to about now I've been more than fine with just Nintendo titles, they really have a lack of games.Nintendo-only gamers sadden me. While Nintendo games are typically fucking stellar, missing out on third-party games this generation is a foolish decision.wii u doesnt have games? ,for hardcore gamers , only zombiU , dont get your hopes up for more new FPS for wii U , not NEW but the oldie COD and others , also , the core and the amaziness of nintendo comes from zelda/mario/pokemon games , which is better than any 3rd partyshitgames
Sticking with Zelda/Mario/Pokemon this entire gen would leave you missing Deus Ex: HR, Portal 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum/City, Just Cause 2, Sonic Generations, Mass Effect 1/2/3, Borderlands, Skyrim and more. All great games that someone actually interested in videogames wouldn't want to miss.
A lot of the games they have are unbeatable IMO but there are only about 1 of those games per year.
They need 3rd parties to have good games and with the obvious power difference the Wii U and PS4/XBOX720 will have, the Wii U will either get crappy ports or no ports.
One of the important reasons on why the Wii U may not do well is because it doesn't have much to offer the Casual and Hardcore market.
Their problem with the Hardcore market has already been outlined but with the casual, the problem is that they don't really have much to offer the casual market other than games.
Even the shovel-ware which rakes casuals in will be ineffective because of the mobile platforms.
I think that beyond the 3DS, I'm done with Nintendo.
