Wii U Games 2013

Sooo... what is the 2014 thread gonna look like? Is there a single damn 3rd party game announced yet? Anything? Child of Light? Is that it? The next Skylanders and Just Dance can probably be assumed along with MAYBE CoD. What else?? Some scattered shovel ware?
If Nintendo were smart they'd hit up Namco and get DARK SOULS 2 on Wii U. That's the biggest third party game of 2014 and it's skipping Wii U for whatever reason.
Of course we don't really know what's going on behind the scenes, but Nintendo should really be pushing hard to get those high profile Japanese releases on their system.
The western third parties are a lost cause at this point, Nintendo isn't buddy-buddy with them, and have basically no western presence anyway.

I'm so jealous of you because you are playing yours already (saving mine Til Christmas) is it incredible as I've heard?
Oh and. Big thank you to all the recommendations so far, you guys have been super helpful. I noticed you can pick up nintendo land for like 19 bucks used from GameStop so I'm sure I'll get that for some local multiplayer with the family. Also, played sonic racing transformed demo on my 360 and it was a blast, will probably pick that up to tie me over for Mario kart 8. Mario 3D world is a no brainer. Just trying to decide between pikmin 3, wonderful 101, or NSMBU (since I'll have Mario 3D)

And it's actually something that *might* play okay with the Nintendo audience to an extent with the dungeon crawling aspects. And also the consequences of dying being reminiscent of ZombiU to a degree.
Gotta wonder what's going on behind the scenes. Nintendo should be doing all it can to get full support from some of these publishers. For example, for AC4 and CoD Ghosts... waive the majority of their cut of eshop DLC purchases.
In general give breaks on license fees. Might not "save" the Wii U completely, but otherwise the hole just gets deeper and deeper.
Yet you can bet it won't hit Wii U.

working fine for me.
Do you think it would be getting the PS4/bone version over the PS360?
It's working fine on my PC, but I've tried everything I can to get it woeking on the Wii U again and nothing works. Deactivated my account, nothing, deleted the save data, nothing, deleted and redownloaded the app, nothing.
Googling "ui-108" wasn't helpful either.
When I start it, the screen flashes around the time where you usually have to select regular Netflix, or Netflix for kids, but then it resumes the loading screen for a couple of minutes until it gives me the error message.

yikes, if redownloading didn't help then i don't know what to tell you. have you checked miiverse to see if anyone is having similar issues?
Hadn't even thought of that, looks like a bunch of people are experiencing the same problem.

I just experienced the same problem. Works fine on my computer.
Very random that I stumbled upon your post.
I'm nit quite sure what you're asking, if I think there will be PS4/xbone version also?
If so I'm not ruling out the possibility but at this point there's nothing that would make me think so.
I do agree with the point that it most certainly won't come to the Wii U though, it just doesn't match up with the traditional Nintendo audience.
It actually does. Unless you're under the impression that the "traditional Nintendo audience" only accepts bright colors and all-ages games.

Yeah as I said above some aspects of it actually DO potentially match up with the Nintendo audience.
Not that I expect it to come though. Heh, imagine the rage if Nintendo had hypothetically gotten that exclusive rather than Bayonetta 2.
I should have phrased myself better perhaps, it doesn't match up with the all ages/family audience Nintendo seems to be targeting primarily.
I'm not trying to stereotype Nintendo fans or anything, I'm a huge Nintendo and Souls fan myself; 2014 is going to kill me with both Smash 4 and DS2 coming out.
But they're not targeting those people with Metroid games or Bayonetta 2. Or Geist or Xenoblade or Fatal Frame or Eternal Darkness or Disaster: Day of Crisis or Pandora's Tower or The Last Story. They're not just putting out games made for families/everyone. You're right though that their big money is coming from the all-ages software.
Yea this is primarily a retail thread. We have an eShop focused thread for all the other stuff.
Yet, this "traditional Nintendo audience" is getting X...
while debating whether I should sell this thing for PS4 money in a month I realized I still have $40 in my eshop that I need to use before I do that. dunno if I want to put in $10 and get WW HD or $20 and get TW101, but really more towards Zelda as the controls in TW101 demo were offputting to say the least
You'd IMO have to play through the W101 demo a few times before it starts to "click." You can't go wrong with Wind Waker though, especially if you're going to attempt to resell the console (though don't ask me how digital purchases and reselling is going to work).
How many constituents do you figure? 70k in Japan and 120k in North America? That's a small audience for Nintendo.

It's launching with HD versions of Tennis and Bowling, with the additions of MotionPlus & online being the focus. I think the gamepad currently is only used to create pre-loadable Miiverse doodle messages to deliver in game ("great strike!," "nice volley," and things like that). It's unknown if Baseball and Golf will use GamePad elements shown in earlier tech demos, but Tennis & Bowling won't be focusing on the pad at all (and how could they, really?).
The addition of MotionPlus should be pretty great for Tennis (Bowling already used it for WiiSports Resort). The online allows you to join clubs -- the video let you join your home state to compete against other states and countries -- and the competition that results from that could end up compelling as well. Bowling and Tennis will be $10 each starting on November 7th. I think there's a free trial too and a downloadable rental option.
They should do the same for Wii Play and Wii Music. Release content in packs.
That's underestimating it a bit now, isn't it? Yeah, X won't do Mario numbers but I can see it doing fairly good for itself. It seems a lot of Nintendo fans are aware of X. Or maybe you're right and the low install for Wii U will impact sales, or perhaps hardly any Nintendo fans know or even care about X in the grande scheme of things and games Monolith Soft develop for Nintendo will always be seen as niche, "third-party" RPGs by Mario and Zelda diehards and the general gaming public. It's a sad little fucking world.
Bought NSMBU (and of course have WW HD) but after I finished both I still don't find the games library that big yet. Still thinking about buying w101 but I have heard so many mixed opinions on it. I think I'll get pikmin 3 even though I never played a pikmin game before. I already disliked nsmbu (even though I loved nsmb Wii) and am not too sure about what to buy next.
In 2014 it will be a no brainer to buy a Wii u for me, it just I I finished two games only (WW and nsmbu) and I already feel I played the majority of the Wii u top offerings.
Well Super Mario 3D World is out in November so you could always wait for that. But in all honesty I guess that doesn't help your situation. TW101 is said to be awesome if you're into that kind of thing. It's definitely a top-offering. Have you tried looking through the eShop for indie titles? I hear Nano Assualt Neo is often highly praised. Perhaps there's something there which catches your eye.
I'm most looking forward to next year for X, myself.
i tried playing the sonic all stars racing demo, the game looks pretty good but ..it just isn't fun to me ._. ..it got pretty boring racing after the first time ..I don't really like flying and I really dislike the random items. Also, it just makes me want to play mario kart since the items in those games are more fun and feel more fair even if the later isn't lulz
The authenticity of the game being a "Nintendo" game really doesn't have much to do with the sales. The game has a lot of strikes against it, mainly that it is a JRPG and that it is releasing on the Wii U. The sales potential of the game just isn't there from an analytical research perspective.
Basing sales on forum posts or forum interest really doesn't work in the real world. You also have to be honest that there are a lot of NIntendo fans who don't buy Nintendo products anymore. They are remnants from the old NES/SNES/N64/GCN era who love the old Nintendo, and not necessarily the contemporary one. This is pretty much all my friends.
Wow. ZombiU is nice and cheap now. You can find a lot of good launch games for cheap (Batman, AC3... if you didn't buy them on other consoles), and Pikmin3 is great. Also, look into the e-shop. Trine2 is very nice, Nano Assault is cool, and of course Earthbound.
And a lot of interesting games coming out soon.
I've been seriously considering getting W101 today. Am a big fan of platinum games, but I've heard a lot of reports about the troubling controls of the game. I've heard the same complaints about kid icarus controls for 3ds but it wasn't game breaker, but I don't know how bad w101 controls are.
I totally forgot that W101 had a demo. Downloading it as I type this. About the games, I don't mean that nothing impresses me, it just I don't know what to buy. Am attending to go digital only and games on the eshop ain't cheap so I don't want to waste £40 on a game that I'll regret later. I might get older games for cheap but they are very few (I don't like what I saw from zombieU and I already got Mon hun 3 for the 3ds)
