What Developers Really Think of Wii U

Eurogamer: 'You know what you think of the Wii U. We know what we think of the Wii U. But what do game makers and game publishers, the people charged with actually working with the 2012 home console, think of the Wii U? At E3 this month Eurogamer asked them.'

I can't wait to see the creative and innovative things that developers do with the new powerful hardware, beefed-up online infastructure and unique controller.

Its all up to you guys (CONSUMERS)

I cant wait to see what kind of shovel ware gets put out on this travesty. So much potential will be wasted with this piece of Kit.

[gamingdroid]

It's not like you have to wade through the shovelware to get to the gems. Besides, one man's shovelware is another's diamond!!

[GameOn]

I cant wait to see what fresh ideas are brought into games due to the controller.

[admiralthrawn87]

why can't you wait? your excited to see shovelware? thats weird. that means your hoping for bad things in our industry

[TruthbeTold]

Excellent comments. I really liked what the Ubisoft guy had to say:

"Nintendo, for some time, was more like, 'We have one direction, follow us.' Now it's more, 'We have all these directions, do what you need to do.' Making games is hard – if you have too much constraint on top of making games it's much more difficult. I think there is a big ambition behind [the Wii U] and we will follow Nintendo to succeed in this because we have the feeling that it's the right direction."

[Infernostew]

Ubisoft just can't wait to start throwing shovelware on it just like they did with the Wii.

[TruthbeTold]

Well, here's hoping that they don't. More Red Steel 2 type efforts and less Red Steel 1 and I'm a happy camper. The pure shovelware I just ignore completely. It's the decent looking games that trick you that are the worst form of shovelware.

[Nes_Daze]

LOL so true. As for Wii U itself, I just don't like the concept and how late they are to the core gamer party. Soon, MS and Sony wil step up their game but with the casual gamer in mind, and Nintendo might ironically end up losing their lead in hardware sales.

[coryok]

cool, i hope nintendo can finally get some games

[Jack-Dangerously]

Cool, I hope you can stop trolling against Nintendo. That have tons of games silly boy.

[coryok]

im not trolling nintendo lol

if you think im wrong, why dont you inform me of some of the announced games announced for wiiu so far

[coryok]

@jack

you call me a troll, i ask you what makes you think im trolling, you laugh at me, i ask you why youre laughing and you respond by making a joke and telling me im blocked?

define troll ... :) lol

[GameOn]

That's so dumb, The whole point of un-announced games is that they're not announced yet and we don't know about them.

On the other hand, with my superior mind power I can predict we will see all the usual Ninty ips plus series we didnt see on the Wii like GTA, BioShock blah blah blahhhh.

[Takoulya]

Nintendo had a lot of great first party games, but little to no third party support. The only thing wrong with their first party games was their reliance on the same franchises over and over again. Still, the games managed to be quite different, and cheers to that.

[mike1up]

Huh, i guess the controller isnt as big as i thought. I havent seen it from that angle.

[Simco876]

IMO I am not excited about this at all. I hope someone finds joy in this. Maybe all those casuals that bought the Wii can dust that thing off and move it to the spare bedroom.

[jacksonmichael]

In your opinion, you're not excited...? So it's up for debate...?

[mike1up]

You must be a little excited, you read the article.
Oh wait, nevermind, you're probably just the typical ps3/360 fanboy that barks out cliches and never truly knows what he is talking about.

[Neko_Mega]

I don't see it doing to well mostly because I bet it won't be cheap when it first comes out. And if it is more "POWERFUL" then PS3, I but it is going to cost more then a PS3.

Lets hope they don't screw up like they did with the 3DS and put it out with alot of remake titles.

[Neko_Mega]

Wow people think its going to be cheaper then the PS3 but be more powerful?

Keep dreaming people.

[Valk]

NOt me I just think you are a clueless idiot. 3DS on track to outsell DS and you call it a screw up.

[mike1up]

Yea i actually do. Its called NO BLU RAY PLAYER!

[Neko_Mega]

Its nice to see how immature people are, I'm not shock that most of the Nintendo fanboys on little kids.

Sad part is I bet they don't even remember the NES and all the great games back then.

[Valk]

Remember the Nes and all the great games back then....LOL

Proof you were NEVER around for the NES. Most of the games were crap back then. Sure you had your true gems like Zelda,Metroid,Mario,Megaman, Shinobi, etc but for every one of those you had 5 or 6 Track and field type games...

Yes kid every single game of the 80s was a true masterpiecce.. we didnt have game glitches or unfinshed games being sold.

I was born Jan 19,1975. I remember before there even was a NeS. Maybe if you did you'd be a little more mature and not spout your opinion as fact.

[admiralthrawn87]

lol at adding the word "really" to the title

[Ness-Psi]

yeah like they got the real answers out of these people and not the company lines that they actually printed.

Not that I think these companies aint excited to make money off the Wii U.
