Wii U Was a Nightmare to Design For, Reveals Developer

Although it's been over a year since Nintendo (OTCMKTS:NTDOY) debuted the Wii U console, the company is still having trouble generating appeal for the machine.

With only a few exceptions, its existing library of games lacks the best-selling franchises and beloved characters that gamers have come to expect from Nintendo. Third-party development continues to be a problem for the notoriously insular company, and the console's slower chipset hamstrings its potential for titles to be on par with those released on the PlayStation 4 (NYSE:SNE) and Xbox One (NASDAQ:MSFT).
