Title: If You Could Bring One Third Party Game to Wii U, What Would It Be?
Post by: NWR_insanolord on March 14, 2013, 05:43:31 AM
Looking at the software lineup for 2013 on the Wii U, you'll see that it's missing a lot of the games the other consoles are getting. Outside of Ubisoft's offerings, it's very sparse in terms of non-Nintendo games. So I'm asking, if you could bring only one game from the other platforms this year to Wii U, what would you choose, and why?

Tough one. Before I played Mirror of Fate which reminded me how good Lords of Shadow was, I would have said Tomb Raider. That said, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 is my pick. Besides just wanting to see how the series ends and if Mercury Steam manages to include Richter Belmont (and maybe Julius since it's supposed to make good on the epilogue of the 1st game), I really think the game would benefit from the GamePad screen.

Bioshock Infinite looks pretty freaking sweet.

I feel somewhat ashamed that my answer to this is probably NHL 14. GamePad functionality would mean the most to me in that game, and since I own the other consoles that's my main criteria for wanting something on Wii U.

I like it when publishers dig through last year's offerings. Heck, even two years before that. It would be awesome if they ported Deus Ex, wouldn't it?
Tomb Raider would have been nice. Bioshock would be nice, too.

If we were to look back at games from previous years, then I think Red Dead Redemption would make a pretty good addition to the Wii U's library. There's nothing quite like it.

Great question, insanolord. It warrants a moment's consideration. Though it may not be my one pick, I would definitely second NHL 14. I'm not a multi-console owner, and it's been far too long since an incredible NHL game appeared on a Nintendo console.

I third NHL '14. Got to have some hockey on Wii U.
I also want whatever mainline Final Fantasy is next. 15, right? Yeah, that one. I'd also take a Wii U port of FFXIV: A Realm Reborn.

The question was about third party games that are NOT confirmed to be released on Wii U, so Rayman wouldn't count.
Hmm, maybe Grand Theft Auto V since I love the series and the console entries are always good. Plus, it would give Wii U another advantage over PlayStation 4 since PS4 is not announced as getting the game, nor is Xbox 3.

Post by: Adrock on March 14, 2013, 12:07:16 PM
I thought he was being facetious with Rayman Legends considering the controversy surrounding its delay. Or maybe I'm giving azeke too much credit...
Semi-related, the iPhone tried to auto-correct azeke to Adele.
GTAV would be big for Wii U even if I never got into the series. I'm hoping for a surprise E3 announcement.

Post by: Ian Sane on March 14, 2013, 01:11:02 PM
GTA V would have a major impact on the Wii U's image. If it's there, the Wii U is the real deal and can hang with the other new consoles. If it's not then the Wi U will be seen as the kiddy casual console. A Nintendo console has NEVER had GTA. Getting it would be a positive change and something that would generate optimism.
I figure at E3 some third party game will get all the buzz... and it won't be on the Wii U and that sucks. The Wii U should not get token games, it should be assumed that it will get pretty much everything that isn't exclusive. That's what healthy third party support is.

Well if you're going to play that game why not just tell me you consider NSMB U to be a GTA game and that Nintendo already has it? This isn't post-modern philosophy class. You can't just redefine terminology as you see fit to support your argument.
Title: Re: If You Could Bring One Third Party Game to Wii U, What Would It Be?
Post by: Oblivion on March 14, 2013, 03:12:10 PM
What? Chinatown has the name GTA in the freaking title. Obviously NSMB has nothing to do with GTA. And a hanheld game system is a handheld CONSOLE. I'm not doing what you say I'm doing.

When you say "console", it generally means home systems, not handheld systems. This is what most people do.

You chuckleheads need to stop wrecking these threads with your petty squabbles. We haven't had a good discussion in a while.
I'm actually tempted to try Bioshock Infinite because it just looks so good. I'm totally digging the atmosphere. If it was coming to Wii U, I'd probably buy it and risk the POV headaches. Since insano specifically asked what ONE 3rd party game to bring to Wii U, I'm still sticking with Lords of Shadow 2. MercurySteam is two for two. Igarashi's DS Castlevania games were still good (not great), but the series needed the shot in the arm.

Earth Defense Force 2025 would be fantastic if they add a versus mode where one player commands the aliens with the touch screen and the other blow them to bits with a classic controller or Wiimote.

Post by: broodwars on March 14, 2013, 04:28:17 PM
I'm going to go w/ an unusual pick here and say Child of Eden. The Wiimote would be perfect for that game, and Child of Eden was so criminally un-loved on the PS3 and 360 (it's one of my favorite titles of this generation). Plus, this many years since its original retail release, Ubisoft could just release the game for $15 on the eShop, which is how it should have been released in the first place.
Barring that, I'd say Valkyria Chronicles (another of my Top 5 of this generation), if only to try to get Sega to finally move the series back to consoles where it belongs. Plus, I could see the map-pad being useful for once in a strategy game like that.

If the game has to be one that's releasing this year, then nothing's coming to mind. If I can pick a previous release, then the DooM 3 BFG Edition is what I would want on Wii U. Also Borderlands 2. Nothing else is coming to mind at the moment.

Post by: Louieturkey on March 14, 2013, 07:55:59 PM
I'd say Bioshock Infinite would make me the happiest, especially if they released the first two on the eshop as well. Or maybe they could release it all in a Bioshock Trilogy next year.

Is this a single game or a series?
If it is series I want something that would help bring a new audience to Nintendo. So Grand Theft Auto, even though I hate the series. But, if it is a single game, I want something I that I would really enjoy...Maybe a good new Earth Defense Force.
Actually I want an Earth Defense Force with Dinosaurs.

As someone who has not played any of them, I'd gladly take a copy of Mass Effect Trilogy for Wii U. I'd think the gamepad functionality could have some good use for that series.

That's not the question. We all want the system to get most or all third party releases, but for the purposes of this discussion I'm asking which one you want the most.

I like it when publishers dig through last year's offerings. Heck, even two years before that. It would be awesome if they ported Deus Ex, wouldn't it?
They ARE porting Dues Ex.
But, seriously, even though I'm supposed to answer with only one, the answer really is ALL of the upcoming games and games that have been out since Wii U's release. I wish the industry heads would talk more about why they won't port a game to the Wii U (or any console for that matter). It was clear why they wouldn't port them to the Wii, but now it just doesn't make sense from a technical standpoint. It HAS to be money/business related. Are we given an explanation why Tomb Raider, Bioshock, the new Ninja Turtles game, Far Cry 3, Lords of Shadow, and a ton more I know I'm missing? No, we're given BS reasons or no reason at all. Neither the devs nor Nintendo talk about why hardly ever. We're left to guess. At the very least, why don't they just release a digital copy with no advertising and just enough gamepad tweaks to satisfy Wii U owners and call it a day? I'd be happy with that. At least for the first few games of 2013.
I'm calling it right now: GTA V will not be on the Wii U and we will not be given a reason why.
Now, back to the discussion. If I had to pick which ports I'd want on the Wii U out of games this gen that have already been made, then I'd pick every single franchise that got its start on Nintendo, because that's where they belong:
1. Metal Gear 2. Final Fantasy 3. Bionic Commando 4. Double Dragon 5. Castlevania 6. A bunch I know I'm missing.
How bout we start with those.
And then for the new unreleased games or recently released I'd say Bioshock Infinite is the one I'm most interested in playing. It wouldn't have to be a watered down port like it is on the PS360.

He said this before it was announced. Way to quote something from over 11 days ago. And in any case, the port (Bioshock Infinite) WOULD be watered down. It would probably be the exact same version as the other two consoles, and even if they tried to make it look better, it would not equal the parity of the PC version. Don't get your hopes up. Not even the PS4 will reach the level of a good PC.

I said Deus Ex because the rumor was it was coming. The decision by the publisher to bring such an old game to the wii u is laughable, instead of putting the same resources into a current release such as Tomb Raider.
