Nintendo 3DS

But if they made something that takes full advantage of the gamepad then they wouldn't be able to cheaply port it to the Xbone/PS4 (or even port it at all). No normal publisher is going to give up that much easy money.

That is the true conundrum that Nintendo faces. Do you make a creative game and limit its audience to only wii u users, or should we just port a common mainstream game that is open to every platform?

frustrating....but true.

I am firmly in the "exclusivity is good" camp. When I decide what platform to purchase (as I did with PS3/360) I based my decision based on the console exclusives. As a gamer, and if you can play any game on any console, then where is the motivation to choose one or the other?

I agree with you, but for a publisher, they do not see that as a positive. That means they have limited their audience greatly. That is why console companies spend so much money trying to acquire companies and sign exclusive deals.

I want more quality exclusive titles and I want more and more reasons for people to invest in Nintendo products. The future will determine.

Exclusive titles certainly gives a platform an identity that sets it apart. But, as Meat said, it just isn't financially feasible for a lot of these companies unless they mysteriously receive a lot of bags filled with large sums of money.

I still kinda stand behind that i buy Nintendo consoles for Nintendo games.

Bought my Wii U for MK8 mainly, and i anticipate more Nintendo games i want to play. (wasnt too thrilled with NSMB:U) ZombiU was pretty good with the gamepad.

Bought my 3DS XL for MK7 (which was bundled with), and now i have a new Zelda game and a new Yoshi game for my 3DS XL.

I have yet to buy any games from the eShop for my 3DS or Wii U.

Bought a PS3 for the Blu-ray player and God of War 3 originally, and glad i did, because the Uncharted games were great and not having to have multiple discs on for 1 game like with the 360.

I wouldnt buy a Multi-platform game for my Wii U unless it offered something to set it apart from other versions of the game

Id like to get Deus Ex:HR on the Wii U, i hear the gamepad works great.

The Wii U version of NFS Most Wanted is pretty much considered the best version as well. Criterion put a lot of effort into the port; unfortunately, no one bought it.

Any1 hear or read news on when Moon Chroniclers is officially releasing?

I'd buy it if I had a wii u but I already bought it on vita. It's amazing on there...how different is it on wii u? Though one of the main reasons I want a wii u (besides the zelda we're still waiting on) is mk8. But I really want to get 3ds for all the first parties I've seen released lately. I think the longer I wait the more games I'm going to be looking at getting

By the way who else wants tomodachi life? I think it's odd, but for some odd reason that makes me want it more. Oh and "All hail the virtual boy"

The whole dual screen (DS) aspect is perfect for RPGs too. Have your stats on one screen, action on another...

And I prefer to play RPGs on handhelds these days. 40 hours in front of a TV isn't happening.

That's exactly my thoughts. I just don't have the time to sit down and game in front of the TV anymore. I live with three roommates, and it'd be unfair and a bit obnoxious of me to take over the living room TV for 100 hours while I play Xenoblade Chronicles.

No prefer the ability to game on my own screen. It's for more relaxing for me. I also travel for work, so it's nice to be able to play in airports and hotel rooms.

Still waiting on the first installment of Moon Chronicles! Any1 DLing this?

Any1 excited for Kirby? Looks awesome!

I agree handheld RPGs are great. I can be in the same room with headphones.... a bit less reclusive lol & you're right about not hogging the TV!

It looks pretty good, I agree. I'll have to wait and see how long the game is. I felt kind of burned when I bought Kirby's Return to Dreamland on Wii for $50 and beat the game in 4 hours.
