I mean i'm still getting one but that doesn't mean that i'm not fearful for it's future. Especially considering some of my fav games are getting sequels late in this consoles gen. Wouldn't want the WiiU to miss out and i'd rather not get more than one console especially since the days for third party exclusives are over. I can live without Micro and Sony's first party efforts. In before being called bias, I've owned all three consoles this gen.

If it's not there they will just be one sale short I know it won't matter to R* but that's just a decision I made last year Wii U multi platform titles will get my money if it's not there I'm not buying it.

Yeah, "to eat crow" is just a turn of phrase, haha
Drinky Crow is named after an [adult swim] show

I think there is a 3rd party WiiU exclusive game we are missing guys and no one wants to leak it 
you can't counter my point with just no without your own counter source of its use as a meme around here :|

There's probably a few, actually.

I was not talking about the origins of Drinky Crow's name I was talking about the amount of times the man had the dish served

Maybe Sadness coming out for Wii U

Hello, Cookie_Aroma from GameFAQS here. I'm surprised nobody else has debunked this Twitter post yet. The person who made up this tweet made one little mistake (actually two as Yani pointed out). Take a look at the screen capture that the person who saw the tweet took:

Let's compare that to Sakurai's Twitter page now:
http://i.imgur.com/5sTHX.jpg
Do you see it yet? See the Tweets count in the upper-right-hand corner? It reads "8807 Tweets" for both images. This is the problem. The tweet with the 2 of 3 message should say 8808 tweets if it was actually legitimate. That coupled with the fact that the only witnesses to this tweet were 2 people from the same board (And as Yani pointed out, the tweet says expand instead of view conversation), I'm positive this is a fake.
This kind of thing is actually very easy to photoshop (or gimp in my case). See?

I keep saying this, but 3rd party wise, Japanese support is going to be very interesting to see. Other than a few games announced last year, Japanese 3rd parties have been virtually silent. I'm still expecting 1 Japanese 3rd party megaton.
nah. drinky crow existed before the adult swim show.

Oh, well, I don't think it's to do with Drinky regardless, it's just a fun phrase
Oh. Weird

Thanks for that.
A PCars WiiU version was already confirmed but it's awesome to know that they'll show it -in some way- at E3.
It also seems that they want to take advantage of the lack of sim-like racers on Nintendo systems/WiiU which sounds great - hope they'll set the bar high for others to follow.
The new Rabbids game is already announced.

Depends on what you mean.
Exclusive from Ubisoft?
Nintendo x Third Party game?
Capcom's revival of some old franchise?
Well, damn. :/

how is that a megaton?

hmmm when you put it that way... well I'm fuck... my poor wallet.
so they finally got MT Framework up and running on WiiU?
Clearly, the coming of Project Cars on Wii U set a different tone for the system in regard to this genre.

Why wouldn't they? It was running on the 360 and PS3 and even on the 3DS.

I think two of three characters are more likely to happens. It's safe guess, imo.

well they made some pupu comments about RE6 not on WiiU so I thought they got lazy or something
speaking of which... Darkstalkers' on my Smash Bros would be nice

So true.
I just hope other studios follow - some "healthy" competition to take the #1 spot for this genre on the WiiU, would be great for gamers

How could a 3rd party game on a Nintendo system be a megaton?
I said exclusive though...
but non-exclusive megatons
GTA V
Nintendo still needs an exclusive in this department
I'm just not too hopeful. Japanese developers have failed to deliver this generation, even on 360/PS3. Western studios don't like to take risks.
I don't even remember the announcement of a single exclusive Wii U title that's meant to be published by a Western 3rd party besides Rabbids Wii U and Killer Freaks. Perhaps those titles were just not very far at last E3, but perhaps 3rd parties take just the easy route again and port, port, port.

Agreed.
Wasn't there a rumor floating around about a first-party(?) sim-ish racing title, being developed for the WiiU or it's just my imagination?
How could a 3rd party game on a Nintendo system be a megaton?
Its actually kind of interesting to think of..
Nintendo home consoles haven't played home to some major franchises including Assassin's Creed and GTA
There hasn't been a proper numbered Final Fantasy in nearly 20 years. A proper Metal Gear... even if I love Twin Snakes
A proper Dead Space or a Resident evil in 8 years (yes we had RE 4 re-release)
No Battlefield or a Castlevania game since the N64...
Etc
There was a rumour that British Lucid Games is doing something.
The context was about a 3rd party exclusive. I also don't think a 3rd party port is a megaton, but well, lowered expectations may transform it into one.

What can be a megaton apart from GTA V being exclusively available on WiiU and Retro working on Zelda WiiU?
Agree. One of the top things I wonder about regarding this system is whether Japanese support is going to show-up in a big way. The ingredients are in place. The companies (well.. the ones who are still around, hehe..) have hopefully learned a lesson or two about betting solidly against Nintendo over the past generation. And it's a "safer" step in power/features for those companies who are uncomfortable with going all-in as far as power and development expenses are concerned.
If Nintendo gets Japanese third-party support to increase notably while Western third-party support remains anemic, I'd still consider the Wii U a solid victory as far as that arena of progress is concerned.

Ah yes, that one. Cheers \m/
Oh I wasn't answering that question
I was just thinking outloud because your post reminded me
Sorry for the confusion.

I am still hopeful Japan devs can make a huge turn around, I've been troubled by the egos jumping ship from the major companies to start their own stuff but delivering very little in return... I am not sure if that is where the major WiiU exclusive will come from but we seriously need some 3rd Parties to commit some exclusives to WiiU Nintendo has to shop around for that it is needed to solidify some base before the next gen from SONY/MS start up
ports can only go so far to get the core over to WiiU
I think we are missing something... I think its something like Skyrim / Diablo 3 type game being exclusive not those two IPs but something like them could work well
something Indie too would work nicely
Ubisoft exclusives I am not sure how long those last before they are ported elsewhere

I would love to see the amount of money that would convince Rockstar to make GTA V Wii U exclusive.
probably somewhere in the neighborhood of a kajillion dollars

It would be in the 200m range based on the rumors of what they wanted for GTA4.
I wish. I really, really wish.
Then again, I'm a bit worried from the art/screens that I've been seeing. I really hope that they keep that cartoonish look that the world of Hyllis had; that was a fundamental part of the charm, the appeal.
