A look at the Wii U's upcoming third-party games | Game Guys

It might not seem like it to some, but when Nintendo's Wii U video game console launched in November of last year more than 30 games launched with it. Of those, all but four were third-party titles. Since that time, however, it's been as if the flow of third-party titles for the console have slowed to a mere trickle.

Looking ahead with 2013 almost a third over, it appears that game publishers are ready to turn the faucet on nearly full blast yet again as the Wii U has a number of notable third-party titles on the horizon.

None of these sound good. Except...maybe Injustice.

PopRocks3594023d ago

I beg to differ. I am keeping an eye out for Ducktales, Deus Ex, Injustice and Mutant Mudds Deluxe.

PFFT4023d ago

You shouldnt Drink the Bong Water.

PFFT4023d ago

There are clearly more than one game that standout in that list. Deus Ex is an amazing game. I played it on both PC and Xbox. Im really looking forward to Injustice, Resident Evil and Sniper. So yeah Injustice isnt the only title that looks great on that list.

DivineAssault 4023d ago (Edited 4023d ago )

why oh why? Such a missed opportunity to shine 3rd party wise.. I believe they tried but not hard enough with publishers.. At least i know wii u will get some great indie titles as well as 1st party so its not a total waste of money.. But i really wanted it to replace my PS3/360 for 3rd party games for the remainder of this gen but thats NOT gonna happen if they dont get their network straightened out & more publishers to back em up..

If porting is easy on this thing, why cant they get more multiplats?? I know devs need to come up with ideas for the gamepad but damn, just use it for basic crap or not at all! Put the damn games on the machine

Nevers0ft4023d ago

It's which games are getting ports that is confusing the hell out of me. Codemasters (for example) think Wii U owners want the terrible F1 Kart Racing game (I forget the name) instead of say Dirt or Drift. Squeenix porting Deus Ex (which is admittedly a good game) instead of Tomb Raider.

It's like the directors at these companies are choosing Wii U ports based on the advise of a magic 8Ball O_o

USMC_POLICE4023d ago

Sniper and deus ex look good. If splinter cell is better on Wii u I'll get it on Wii u.

DwightOwen4023d ago

I love how dumbass haters keep approving this same lame article over and overfrom different websites. Seriously, this has to be sixth rendition of this crap I've read this week. No mention of Watch Dogs, Bayonetta, Batman AO, Splinter Cell, etc.

It's not Nintendo's fault Sega fucked up Aliens and Ubisoft delayed an ALREADY FINISHED GAME by 7 months. Considering the system is only 5 MONTHS OLD, it's had a hell of a lot 3rd party support, more than usual for a console this young into its lifecycle. Games like Zombi, Lego City, and Monster Hunter are not only top-quality, they're EXCLUSIVE to the Wii U. Tell me, how many 3rd party exclusives did PS3 have in it's first year, let alone half year? then you have Indie support in games like Nano Assault Neo, Trine 2, Runner 2, etc.

What, exactly, do you trolls think you're going to be playing for the year the PS4 is out? Do you think devs are going to invest $30+ million on a game for a console with an install base of only 2-3 million (maybe less considering there's confirmed to be no BC support), because that's a pipe dream. You'll be playing 1080 ports of PS3 games, AT BEST, like Watch Dogs, sports games, etc.

I really hope Killzone, Drive Club, and Infamous are all they're cracked up to be, because those are going to be the only unique games worth playing for the first year, until the install base grows to a point where 3rd party AAA titles can be profitable. I know facts are forbidden in FanboyLand, but there it is.

Realplaya4023d ago

I agree sir PS owners are on here blasting when the reality is they would be lucky to get 10 quality games in the first year. Also pre orders and bought units are 2 different things I can almost guarantee the PS4 will be more expensive than the WII U and there will be less games when it release.

ZeekQuattro4023d ago

Speaking ill of the PS4 on here is tantamount to blasphemy. Watch yourself out there. lol jkjk

Steam Uproar as Capcom Slips In Restrictive DRM Software

From Xfire: "Steam users and the larger PC gaming community are lashing out at Capcom over a streak of sneaky DRM updates as the Japanese gaming giant continues to flirt with controversy"

LordoftheCritics80d ago

RIP

Capcom turning into Ubisoft.

Well success can have that effect.

just_looken80d ago

Yep this shows how bad a digital world is now well for the old titles new games disc or not the drm is there but you can get the old games on dvd then try to monkey the last pre drm update onto the game files.

I love GOG for this reason i saw that skyrim bs update so i know not to run that version as gog you can select what patch to download/install with capcom hopefully we get a list of the update numbers that add this horrific drm.

With denuvo as a alder lake pc user it still has issues with E cores and i remember when the servers were taken offline forcing hundreds of games to be paperweights.

FinalFantasyFanatic80d ago

It's also really annoying how they can cut or change content later, like the Skull Girls controversy, a decade later after the game came out, they decide to censor it. The game is a decade old, if it's not broken, leave it, adding DRM back into older games is BS.

just_looken80d ago

@final

Good point even major sp games got the cut after the fact be it last of us with maps/art or gta 5 removing stuff in the world.

Cyberpunk ps4 day one disc copy the sept build still has stuff the other versions no longer have.

With the gta 6 controversy right now i think back to the days of saints row creating a character beating up cops with a dildo bat and now we have elon crying over gta 6 guns killing cops i bet you if they made saints row 2 hd they would half to cut half the games content or go to jail lol also sad.

Was watching avatar last airbender 13yr old ang kissing katar again can not have that in a kids show or game now.

PRIMORDUS80d ago (Edited 80d ago )

Do they want more of their games to be torrented? Seems like it, I don't mind 🤣 Just ripped them a new asshole on Twitter, as I do not care what I say or post on there LOL.

banger8880d ago

Let me guess, you have a vpn enabled. For your sake I hope it's not in any 5 Eyes territories.

PRIMORDUS80d ago

I have ExpressVPN but on Twitter I don't use it lol. For other things I use it :D

Barlos80d ago

Nice. I got a lifetime ban on Twitter back in 2020 for speaking my mind. Don't care tbh, I'm not really into social media. I don't even have a Facebook account.

PRIMORDUS79d ago

I'm still trying to get banned to lol I'll keep at it 🤣 I have FB but maybe log in once a month but yeah always speak your mind no matter how bad the words come out, do not hold back online or IRL. Fuck them shit bags lol.

got_dam80d ago

This is classic Capcom. They everything they go on a hot streak and win back some consumer good will they have to turn around and burn it to the ground and have to start the whole process again.

Chocoburger80d ago (Edited 80d ago )

Additional DRM just pushes people to pirate more. These ignorant executives just don't get it. Only the legitimate customer is affected by DRM. 😕

Darkegg80d ago

Drm punishes legit customers and encourage hackers. It’s the wrong way to go about it.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell - A Decade in the Shadows

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell has been out of action for a decade, so it's time to look back at 2013's Splinter Cell: Blacklist.

CoNn3rB238d ago

Sam Fisher is evidently the most skilled stealth operative because no-one has seen him in his own game for years

kevco33238d ago

10 years, in fact. He must be, like, 60 by now?

phoenixwing238d ago (Edited 238d ago )

why make an inspired game that takes effort when you can half ass it with multiplayer gaas games and filler filled assassins creed games?

That question up there is the reason you don't see splinter cell games

zarbor238d ago

Yup, another example that Ubisoft has no idea what they are doing.

MIDGETonSTILTS17237d ago

The entire mark and execute system belonged in another game.

It’s cool, but the polar opposite to how Sam Fisher initially handled.

The original trilogy made shooting very, very difficult, yet a viable option, which ultimately motivates stealth.

The mark/execute system makes shooting stupid easy, to the point of why would you even bother trying stealth as an alternative?

FYouDad237d ago

Because Ghost is the method fans of the series actually prefer? IMark and execute is never forced upon the player you liiterally never have to bother using it even once throughout Blacklist.

Tody_ZA237d ago

The sad part is that I actually really enjoyed the last game, Blacklist. It may have lacked the iconic voice but the gameplay was excellent, and blended stealth, action and a mix really great compared to most games, where none of the three options felt like the wrong way to play. I really hope they either produce a remake of the original game or a proper sequel.

Rikimaru-00237d ago

Isn't UBI Soft remaking splinter cell.

It's Time For Resident Evil's Most Unique Mode to Make a Comeback

With series staple Mercenaries Mode returning to the Resident Evil 4 Remake, it’s time to remind fans of another mostly forgotten mode from the RE series. Reaching the second chapter in the 2012 3DS game Resident Evil: Revelations unlocked something called Raid Mode for players to enjoy. Unlike Mercenaries, Raid Mode is not a time-attack mode and instead operates as a more RPG-lite version of the main game. While players are expected to try and hammer down on a handful of levels in Mercenaries, Raid Mode gives players a much more expansive game type to play around with.

This mode was included in ports released on the seventh and eighth generations of consoles and was part of Resident Evil: Revelations 2, which was released in 2015. However, the Revelations duology is the only time that Raid Mode has existed in the massive Resident Evil franchise, and that should change in some future release.

I'd like to raid mode make a return in the future. When Capcom was hacked there was a as of yet announced RE game in there that I was hoping might turn into Revelations 3. There were also reports that whatever that RE game was scrapped and cancelled.
