3rd party mistakes on Wii U: Bad marketing, no DLC, and more

Gimme Gimme Games writes that while Nintendo has to do more to get third parties on board with the Wii U, third parties have themselves to blame for poor sales of their Wii U titles due to mistakes that several of them continue to make.

i dont care about sales or numbers i want GAME news you know where you post a story about GAMES, reviews,previews rumored games, stop with all this bs so the wiiu is not doing well at the moment we all know because you and every other site post it every day. what a joke this site is turning into.

mrbojingles3943d ago (Edited 3943d ago )

The article talks about how a large part of the blame can't be placed on Nintendo and must be placed on 3rd parties. It isn't all that negative towards Nintendo like most news stories on the subject, instead focusing on the flaws of 3rd parties. Did you read it? GGG posts good things about the Wii U pretty much every day and probably focuses on Nintendo platforms more than it should.

EDIT: These posts aren't exactly "doom and gloom".

yeah i read it, but mainly wasnt talking about this article in general but the actual website its like wiiudaily most stories on there are just doom and gloom, and i just want to read new game news not doom n gloom. also sorry was a little rant i feel better now lol.

cyguration3943d ago

You know, I actually agree.

WHERE are all the articles on N4G and from gaming media talking about Monolith's 'X' or potential games people want to see on the Wii U? Or games that could benefit from the GamePad? Or inside info on upcoming titles for the console? Where is it all?

Seems like most of it is all about talking down about the Wii U, even if the site isn't necessarily being negative.

Think about the headline(s) and the topic. The Wii U is actually the only next-gen console WINNING right now with actual sales but everyone just keeps talking about how terrible it's doing.

mrbojingles3943d ago

This same site submitted a piece talking about how the media is ignoring Nintendo's many new IPs, Monolith's X included.

Loadedklip3943d ago

Pretty much spot on ... when I saw that Mass Effect 3 was coming for Wii U at the SAME PRICE as Mass Effect Trilogy on 360/PS3 ... I thought it was a joke at first.
WTF was EA thinking?

solidworm3943d ago

Nintendo still trying to sell a suped up Wii to a demographic who lost interest in the Wii 5 years ago, lol. company needs wholesale sackings.

mrbojingles3943d ago (Edited 3943d ago )

If having an increase from 88MB RAM to 2GB RAM is "souped" up then what are the other next-gen consoles?

EDIT: Sorry I was confusing, I meant to say that I don't think the Wii U is a "souped up Wii" if that's what your saying, and I was using the massive leap in RAM power (88MB to 2GB) as an example. Then I drew a comparison to other new consoles having a similar size RAM jump, like how the Xbox One has 16 times the RAM (8GB) as the Xbox 360 (512MB). For reference, the Wii U has about 20 times the RAM the Wii had.

solidworm3943d ago

So what are you saying, the Wii was more powerful than the WiiU?

yalltrippin3942d ago

nobody gives a fuk about that fanboy console bashing bullshit,do yourself a favor and grow a brain# stick to the topic

Kevlar0093943d ago

It's too bad ZombiU wasn't a success. There was a lot of marketing put into it, the kind of game more 3rd parties should be making for the WiiU (taking advantage of the gamepad)

The entire WiiU launch was poorly done, even Nintendo was kind of standing around with their hands in their pockets. Nintendo looks to continue what they did in the Wii era by creting unique experiences and games everyone can enjoy, Nintendo has their hands in a lot of games for the next 10 months from a wide range of titles. Hopefully the WiiU can get a second chance, I know I'll give it one

mrbojingles3943d ago

I saw virtually no marketing in America for it, outside of ads on IGN/GameSpot for like a week and even then they reviewed it badly (gave it bad score I mean) while the average review managed to hit 77% after dozens of reviews. I'd say the marketing was pretty bad on Zombi U as a whole.

solidworm3943d ago

Nintendo is no longer relevant, sad but true. Without a total clear out of the people behind their philosophy they are doomed to more failures.

stragomccloud3943d ago

And yet, they remain the only consistently profitable games company out there.

mrbojingles3943d ago

In addition to what others have said, they remain something you talk about (Be it negatively or positively) so they can't be all that irrelevant can they?

I think it's better to leave games like AC: Amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash forgotten on the Wii U. Best case, they are mediocre games; worse case, they are very bad. It was a dark time for the Wii U, and the first only exists to sell Amiibo cards, whereas the second was put together in a couple of months with a shoestring budget, and it shows.

The rest of the list does have some really cool games, though. I would love to see a remake of Star Fox Zero with decent controls, and Xenoblade X doesn't require that much modification to work.

Z5013d ago

How would XCX work without dual screens functionality?

Cacabunga3d ago

Same as Paper Mario color splash. One of the best wiiu games and getting even better with dual screen. Same reason why i prefer Splatoon 1

Profchaos3d ago

This article leaves out Nintendo's most controversial game to date devils Third.
I personally found the cover system really fun in that one compared to at the time most fps games completely lacking one.

Stevonidas3d ago

Devil's Third is HIGHLY underrated.

repsahj3d ago

They should remake Starfox to the switch 2. Very beautiful game during gamecube days.

Chocoburger3d ago

Kirby is always ignored or forgotten by people, so good to see it mentioned here.
Play Kirby Canvas Curse on DS, and then play Rainbow Curse on Wii U, they're really fun and unique 'platformers' without any actual jumping.
