Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemo thinks that the Wii U is a great console for gamers, but he admits that the system needs to sell more units. However, Guillemo says that the company is fully committed to producing games for the format. The company recently announced that Watch Dogs and Assassin’s Creed 4 will be coming to the console later this year.

Its a good console not great in my opinion but I am (Like most people) will be waiting for the same releases that Nintendo always does. Mario kart, zelda, 3d mario
1. Trophies/Achievements - Nintendo needs a trophy/achievement system. Many gamers like the added challenge that they add to games, and the overall gaming diary that they represent. Seriously, even if you don't care for them, the idea of getting platinum/100% in a Zelda or Metroid game has to be enticing.
2. Pro-Controller - More support for the pro-controller. Just about every game should support this input device. As cool as the gamepad is, gamers like the pro-controller design as it has a design which has become a standard in the industry.
3. Social Features - Miiverse is awesome... I love it... wish there was something similar on PS3 and 360. But Nintendo needs to implement social features beyond Miiverse. Players should be able to share screenshots, achievements and other stuffs to Facebook, Twitter and possibly YouTube.
4. Virtual Console - I and many others are glad that Nintendo have brought/bringing VC directly to the Wii U home interface. But Nintendo should add some new features to the classics like trophies, online leaderboards and even online co-op. Give us some incentive to rebuy and replay the classics. Online co-op on a game like Contra would be awesome. Unlocking trophies in a game like Super Metroid would be great. Posting a high score in Donkey Kong to an online leaderboard would be great.
5. HURRY UP - Nintendo seems to be taking their sweet time with everything Wii U related. One could argue that they are making sure to put out a quality product, but releasing ONE Virtual Console game a month it too damn slow. They can go faster than that... even if they implemented the features I listed above they can go faster than that.
Those are just a few things off the top of my head, but Nintendo needs more than just first party exclusives to make the console appealing to gamers as a whole. We know it's not gonna be able to push games like Battlefield 4, but Nintendo can offer other FUN experiences, and features which have become standard in the industry.
fine, taking risks AND bringing them to the West in a timely fashion. lol
Nintendo really needs to put out some big must buy 1st party stuff other than the 1 mario game.... I'm talking metroid, donkey kong country, zelda, super smash bros etc. Something old nintendo fans are itching for.
The longer they wait is cool with me. I'm definitely not spending 300 on tech that old now. I'd spend maybe 200 for it with a game.
People who already own a PS3 or an Xbox 360 simply don't feel like buying a Wii U, but of course they will if it has the games that make it a better deal.
I just don't see how Nintendo is gonna go all "hardcore" and still manage to compete with Sony and MS. We need games that show what the Wii U does differently, and then we need Zelda and Mario on it, as well as some other returning core franchises.
But i simply feel that one of the reasons the system is getting surrounded by negativity is also because it feels almost "forced innovative" instead of genuinely innovative like the Wii, because Nintendo's motive for making the gamepad was "We NEED to innovate" rather than "I've always wanted to do THIS with a console" like in the case of the Wii.
Having 6 million potential consoles on the market is a lot better than having 3 million actual consoles on the market! It is a strategy that all developers employ. A reason why developers still have projects on older consoles.
with better graphics and online too.
Oh man, just thinking of a PS4/PC/720 Metroid and Zelda makes me happy. I used wish Nintendo consoles all the best (although haven't had one since N64) but now I'm thinking FAIL Wii U fail!
keep dreaming about nintendo games on other consoles which is why a majority of fanboys want
till then ill enjoy all my consoles ;)
Nintendo has the most multiplats for this and last gen combined (Dat shovelware) Every console has exclusives tho..you think M$ make their Gears of War series on the Wii or something?
How? How is having a competitor drop out a good thing? I don't want Sony getting lazy thinking 'All we gotta do is be a little better than MS and we'll be good.' I want them to make good games and put care into the system because they have competition and want to distinguish themselves as the company to go for. The same goes for Sony, I don't want their efforts to fail either. I want all the companies to do well and actually try to make good games worth owning their console for. If their's no competition there's little reason to do so. people start slacking, bars get lowered, and there's less effort because there's not much to be worried about. It's not a good thing at all.
You have to be kidding. Yes the games run better / look better (like any first party game), but simply being first party doesn't make them good, nor is that why Nintendo does so well. If it was REALLY that simple, Sony would be able to make a kart racing game.
My comment appears to be misjudged. I am not suggesting Nintendo games are good only because they are on their own system, but it is a contributing factor. If they start making games on other systems it will take them longer to get used to the hardware. They will eventually get used to newer hardware but the reason they make hardware is so that they can make games the way they want to.
@subtenko
I was referring to the fact that Nintendo does not make games for other consoles besides their own. That is what I meant by multiplat.
Again sorry for any confusing due to the wording of my comment. =]
There's a quicker way of playing Nintendo exclusives, wait a little bit longer until they are released on he Wii U and then buy one because I think hell will freeze over before you get to play Mario Kart on the PS4 or Nextbox.
Same goes for Sony or Ms exclusive games, you have to buy their console.
If you're waiting for N games to come on other hardware, sorry but that wiil never happen.
Nor do I think the screen controller adds much to gaming.
I think Wii U is lacking at it's current price and probably worth it at $200.
The console being sold at $300 is being sold at a loss. It worth more than what they are already charging regardless of whether or not you like what its offering. If you think it is lacking while being sold at a loss then I question your ability reason.
How can a controller that has the same button layout as ever other controller, + a mic, + a camera, + an HQ touchscreen, + NFS capability, +panoramic view, +gyroscopic motion control not add much to gaming? I can think of tons of things it can add beyond what has been shown. You probably just don't want it to.
The games are simply in development. We know they are coming. They have been announced. Bayonetta 2, X, Watchdogs, Wonderful 101, etc and so on are all coming and from third parties. Its has plenty of third party support.
The consoles will sale when the games come out. Nothing more to it.
Well, I mean, when you consider the controller is half of that cost... Not hating on Wii U, I actually look forward to getting one at some point. Just saying...
Play Dj Max Technika Tune on the Vita. I think its the best looking thing to ever come out in gaming, visually. No, it doesn't use raw graphics, but the art style in conjunction with the OLED looks better then Uncharted or any PS4 game to me.

Also, don't call it a 360 when it clearly is more powerful. http://www.youtube.com/watc...
Whoa, ye really think Wii U sales will pick up when Nintendo release their first party titles? Nostradamus has some serious competition from both of ye!
Ubisoft games sell amazing on the Vita, you will be shocked to see how many downloads for Rayman on the Vita store. I don't see Ubisoft making as many titles on the Wii U compared to the Vita.
Red Steel and Red Steel 2 also ultimately made a profit. Wii games only needed around 150-300k to break even.
http://www.vgchartz.com/gam...
A game that sold 300k on the Wii was the equivalent of selling a million on the PS3/360 financially unless it was a HUGE undertaking which was rare for anyone outside of Nintendo themselves.
So what if they delayed Rayman Legends? Just be happy that Ubisoft is still developing the game for the Wii U and thank them for bringing Watchdogs as well.
One question for you.
Why not sales rocket hardcore Ps Vita now? Why?
Simple.
No many AAA exklusive games, same on WiiU history.
No games, no sales.
I think price cut not enough for one console, many exklusive good games coming WiiU and Vita, doing fine the sales.
Only one problem this period, now lack system seller games the console. Nothing more.
Not too complex.
Nintendo will strive though, they always do
The possibilities are endless with a second screen, use your brain if you have one, and you might come up with some great ideas for how to use the secon screen in games.
I personally didn't like the wii and motion gaming, never bought a wii, my last N console was N64, but wiiu is perfect and yes I'm a core gamer.
I game for over 30 year now, and I became a little bored with same shit in games over and over.
No, not with Mario or Zelda, those games bring inovation with each iteration, unlike Kz, GoW, Uncharted ect.
So I have no real interest to go with ps4 and have the same game experience I've had with ps3, but now just with updated graphics, I have a PC for my graphics fix.
It just to lame for me now, and if the new mgs game is multiplat and I can play it on my pc or wiiu, then there's no reason for me to buy a ps4.
Honestly I haven't bought a wiiu yet, but I will, just waiting for new 3d Mario or Zelda.
so I hope all the wii-u haters will remember how they said its over for Nintendo after wii u gets more games.
I know Fanboy Land is a nice place to visit, but your plane for REALITY leaves in five minutes.
Publishing Bayonetta was a smart move. Bayonetta has fans who have been wanting a sequel so bad they'll buy another system to do so. As long as they move systems they're good.
Monster Hunter has been doing great in Japan, but in North America I have no idea how it will fare.
The #1 rule in the games industry:
SOFTware drives HARDware.
I find it alarming that the CEO of one of the industry's largest publishers doesn't understand this. Delaying a finished game for half a year doesn't help sales, either.
Oh SNAP.
