Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has assured prospective Wii U owners that Wii U will bring the best content from third-party developers for a long, long time. One of the things that has made potential Wii U owners hesitant about purchasing Wii U is that the next generation consoles from Microsoft and Sony are both looming on the horizon, this should go someway in dampening their fears.
“We’ve got a system that, based on our review of the world and our architecture, it absolutely’s gonna hold up and bring the best content from third-party for a long, long time.”
Thanks, Kathryn
FIRST
Good for you!
Thanks! This is truly a big moment in my life. I’m just so glad I’ve gotten this far.
to get raped in the butt
this^
Queer.
I just want Nintendo Network to be damn good.
I know, they need to release more info about it.
18 months is a long time now? Not so sure Reggie
Hello mr negative!
Well, if we duplicate him, that’ll be good.
Ahhh, thats funny /sarcasm
For Ninten do to buy 5 more exclusives, buy back RARE titles and re-employ the former RARE ware employees miss the Big N. Plus the Wii U is future proofed.
So its going to have multi plats?
:youdon’tsay: No.
you should be slapped for even using memes
^this.
Yes and that makes ms especially vulnerable. Sony shall be second behind the Wii U.
I doubt it. Sony are in a financial fix. They may not release a console until the vita starts seeing respectable sales. MS should be behind Ninty cause of Halo (hardcore) and Kinect (casual) factors
I think so too. because the Wii U have a hardware that seems easy to develop for, it will not takes costs like the PS4/720 and from what i’ve seen on the line up, its gonna have good surprises along the way. who in the earth would have guessed Bayonetta 2 as an exclusive?
PlatinumGames as well as Nintendo employees would :P
I still find this hard to believe. I don’t think that the gap will be as great as it was between Wii and the other 2, but I feel it might still be great enough to ignore the WiiU anyway. I hope what Reggie says is true though. I’m tired of Nintendo not getting any third party titles.
Your comment is appropriately sensible, Johnny.
Well the wiiu is quite powerfull so I am not suprised . It’s knocking out native 1080p games for a laugh and a joke at launch and the rest are native lazy 720p build’s.
I can almost guarantee the wiiu will be able to keep up , for the next 5 years . in its 6th year it will slow down , due to the imminent arrival of the ‘Nintendo Gigatron supreme’
For me the wiiu is outdoing my expectations in power and performance and that gpgpu thing must be pretty efficient along with it’s RAM .
The wiiu is str8 up Next gen . Now its just a question of how powerfull , how expensive and when do microsoft and sony plan on delivering with their next gens .
At worst the wiiu will be able to handle 720 and ps4 games , just with the graphics turned down a little .
It’s obvious Sony in paticular are going to resort to a $350-$400 console . they don’t have the man power or the balls to do anything more .
Microsoft i don’t know , but the ideas that are leaking are taking the word gimmik to new heights .
yes, Just look at what the Xbox 360 have done. The PS3 is a powerful machine compared to 360. But it’s hard to develop games, even games from Sony was lamme at the begining. The Xbox360 keep up on pair even with an outdated hardware, with games like Gears of War 3, and the multi platform games played better on 360.
I think the Wii U is an “360 case” when games can be easily ported or developed. the line up games looks fantastic graphically compared to PS3 and 360 line up, so it’s clearly more powerful, because the system will keep evolving while developers discover its features and how to work with it.
This ^ . Nintendo has not made the weak console most people expected .
I doubt sony are going to push 4k resoloution when 4k tv’s are probably not going to go mainstream for about 5-10 years .
I hope they don’t do it, 4k is a technology for a far away future. But it’s sony, you know, HDTV were not that popular when the PS3 came. I remember the first units of 360 didn’t even came with HDMI ports.
the ps3 will be good one way or another. sony really need that vita o start moving or they are screwed .
I’m guessing we’ll find out next E3. One or both of the consoles are bound to be revealed. I’m kind of excited to see what Sony has to offer with the PS4, could care less about Xbox.
Me too. I really like the PS3 the way it is, so i’m looking forward to the PS4.
Dude 4K TV’s cost like $25,000 that won’t be popular or at a decent price for a LONG time.
I know that, that’s why I hope sony don’t use it on PS4.
I wouldn’t say ‘lazy’.
I’d say closer to cautious.
If you keep comparing it to the Wii, it will always seem really powerful.
Yeh its like 17 times as powerfull :/ . Its powerfull compared to ps3 and 360 .
Great to hear, but easier said than done.
This^
We were also promise amazing games for the wii from 3rd party devs, but alas, there were only very few games that didn’t just tack the motion on.
I also don’t see the Wii U having the same problem getting 3rd party software as the Wii did. The reason the Wii lost out on so many multi-platform games is because the architecture of the hardware was so different form the other two, that if 3rd parties wanted to make a multi-plat game on Wii they would basically have to make a 2nd version of the game from scratch for Wii if they wanted it to be any good.
The Wii u’s hardware is reportedly very easy to develop for, as said by Vigil games and the developers of the Wii U version of Mass Effect 3. I don’t think we have anything to worry about. Leave luck to heaven.
exactly.
Plus most developers shall have fun with the numerous middleware engines Nintendo partnered with, Futur proofed Wii U has even pachter wanting one.
GTA 5! O_O
1080p gamepadified GTA 5 !!! unless Rockstar are being sony and microsoft fanboys .
No thanks. GTA fanboys are the most annoying pricks on the planet. Literally throughout the whole E3, on every article, for every game it was..”FUCK THIS SHIT, WHERE GTAV”, “IF ROCKSTAR DONT SHOW GTAV IM GONA FLIP SHIT”, “NOTHIGS BETTER THAN GTAV, FUCK E3”
Bitch, pleeeeease. Its THE SAME GAME, but in a different city, and the base gameplay is baaaaaaalls. “Drive over there, shoot that guy, fuck a prostiute, shoot the prostitute”. Fuck off with your over funded gargabe, and give us more games like Max Payne 3
New Super Mario Bros. U is also the same game as every other New Super Mario Bros. except you can, what, draw platforms?
But nobody raves about it like a maniac, they KNOW that NSMBU is unoriginal, but still, they put challenge modes, new map designs, its enough, but nobodys saying “OH MY GOD BEST GAME EVER, MOST INNOVATIVE MARIO YET”, which it what GTA fanboys do ALL THE TIME, for a game with less originality and a higher budget, its insane,
Maybe I don’t spend enough time obsessing over what fanboys say, but I’ve never noticed that.
You should look more in comment sections to big gaming events, it’s literally the 1-3rd comment as top comments.
Not being a dick there dragon , but san andreas and vice city are 2 of the best games ever made . GTA 4 was very shallow and boring .
I agree with you on san anreas but not vice city. San andreas was great due to diverse gameplay and a story that is really well told and is partly true. I’m not saying that vice city isn’t good, because its a great game, i’m just saying that its nowhere as great as SA.
+1
Since when is a game bad because of fanboys?
If that’s you’re logic, then every game ever created is bad, unoriginal, and boring. You know, cause everything has fanboys.
The games bad because its boring, but the fanboys make it worse
Its preferance, just like some of us found Zelda Skyward Sword boring and not fun. See, preferance.
GTA is a big franchize for a reason. Just like halo, Uncharted, CoD, Mario, Zelda, GT, and many other franchizes. You’re opinion isn’t a fact.
But it’s supposed to be the same game, it’s a perfected platformer, and it’s going to stay a perfected platformer. GTA V however tries to be this hyper realistic city simulator, I love GTA, but it’s just ridiculous, I pretty much hated the realism in GTA IV, I much rather prefer the GTAIII era, where it was like an arcade game, where it was obvious that a cars gonna blow up.
Well, at least Just Cause is a big series now.
Well it depends on the reason they play the game. There are those who play it for a story that involves a lot of politics and real world events. There are those who play it for the diverse gameplay in a large sandbox world. And then there are the fanboys who like you said rave about gta games for all the wrong reasons. The fanboys can be extremely annoying but most of their games are pretty good. If you want to actually experience the true gta experience i recommend San Andreas. Play it from start to finish while paying attention to the story and i’m sure that your perspective o the series will change.
Well you’ve pretty muc stolen Platinum Games xD which is great. Let them do Star Fox :3
They also stole Monster Hunter :)
And Aelous’s virginity when they raped him in the ass .

Wii U will be a success. :)
Best quote ever from the Nintendo of America President and COO!!!!!!!!!
The Wii U is future proofed, Sony and Microsoft Know this. As long as over harshed COD is now on the Wii U rest easy. The biggest casual FPS is on The Wii U and Shane rode of into the sunset.
I’ll believe it when I see it. Of course Reggie, the president of NoA, is going to speak highly of it. His opinion is biased, so it’s kind of hard to believe it.
Just like it’s hard for you to believe the Wii U is selling out in Major retail stores in te US for preorders right?
Give the guy a break. Hes just stating his opinion. I agree with him. Reggie also stated TP was”by far the greatest Zelda game we have ever created”… LOL we see how well that went.
Yup and they are appearing on ebay at hiked prices. So what’s your point?
What I don’t get is do you run out of pre-orders? Its just a preorder
Supply on getting it upon release. You basically pay for it on day 1.
Yes, but is not like they ran out of the product. They are just taking preorders. Did nintendo put a limit on the ammount of pre orders?
idk how that works.
Many consoles sell out when they’re new. Doesn’t mean anything about third party support.
Well, the launch line-up is great, and the only developers that have spoken negatively are mostly anonymous. There are however developers which aren’t completely sold, like Bethesda or 2K/RockStar. But seeing as how pre-orders are sold out in several stores, I’d bet anything on developers gaining more interest.
twilight princess is the bestzelda game ever imo
The launch line up does look better than it was with the 3DS, but how do know that it’s not just a surge of third party games caused by the Wii U being a new console and it might eventually dwindle down once the hype has gone? Didn’t Nintendo pay third party developers to get them to develop for the Wii U.
hahaha for those kids saying: hurrrr when 720/ps4 are out wii u gonna die SURPISE 10%-20% more powerfull than wii u….
Plus with the Wii U’s GpuGGpu it will be easy to make the system even out perform both the PS4 and xbox720 in some games, watch this space.
Ps4 probably wont even be out till late 2014 or even 2015

I will not lie, I am impressed with Wii U’s launch in almost every aspect. I see it going a long way. However, I still think it will eventually face the same problem Wii did. When Xbox 720 and PS4 come out, I don’t see 3rd party developers downscaling their games to weaker engines (costing piles of money) just to port it to Wii U.
big graphic jumps like ps2 to 3 are impossibl now
or does sony want to lose 8 billion again? i like sony and nintendo but if sony goes like this they soon have to stop the ps branch….
We’ll Square has already unveiled their next Gen engine that will run on 720 and PS4 as well as Unreal Engine 4 that will run on them. UE4 has already been confirmed not to run on Wii U
Actually, it can, albeit scaled down. Ditto with Luminous Engine.
And besides, if Wii U can’t support the engines, that’s where it will lose in terms of 3rd party support
The Wii U is looking better each day. :)
YES!
You can say that Reggie but we need to see it. Hopefully, the 3rd party situation will only get better.
Meaning “a year, until the other consoles come out with similar tablet functionality and way more processing power.”
