No, but I think those are the two worst examples you could have picked because both those games have been so done to death that I don't want them on any console I own.
I do want to see the WiiU getting more third-party support because I think it's an excellent piece of hardware with a lot of potential for a variety of great games; it's certainly a much bigger jump from it's predecessor than either Sony or Microsoft's offerings which pretty much just offer negligible spec upgrades while at the same time bringing on-board a whole host of undesirable horseshit.
For the time-being, I am still excited to own a WiiU, and there's a lot coming that I'm looking forward to, first and third party, so, if I can be this hyped after relentlessly shitting on Nintendo for almost five years, that suggests to me they must be doing something right.

It's not that I really care about those games but Activision not putting COD:AW on Wii U when it would be incredibly easy for them to at least just do a simple port of the PS3/Xbox 360 version sends a message that they dont think the Wii U is even worth a version of one of the biggest cash-cow franchises that graces every platform under the sun inclusing the original Wii.
Also the fact that Cod: AW, AC Unity, AC Rogue, Fifa 15 etc aren't getting Wi U ports even though previous games in the series made it to the platform means that Nintendo clearly needs to just have a little talk with them, ask them what's going on.
It's not that 'Cod on wii u = massive sales increase' it's more about a variety of 3rd party games is very appealing, it shows that the system can do everything that the other consoles can do except with Nintendo games as a cherry on top.

Best idea would've had four choices, two for those who own one, and two for those who don't. Gives a better idea overall of what people want for the system.Zachary Amaranth said:
I said no, but that's because I play neither of those, and I never will. I will go more with just big named games that are multiplatform in general, which in that case is a bit of a mixed bag. To a certain degree, having the big named games on the console can attract people, because if they see COD/GTA/ES etc. people might be able to assume right off the bat that the console must be good if the games are on it. It's faulty logic at best, but it would probably at least convince some people, or at least elevate the system to an extent. On the other hand, will people buy that game for the system when they can get it on another console with better graphics, and how things have been going, have access to all DLC. I will most likely get a PS4 down the line, and if I really want to play AAA #54265643, I can get the game then, at a cheaper price and know for sure that the game is good if people still think fondly of it. From what I've gathered, it seems that a lot of people who have a WiiU will have another gaming platform, but those that have another gaming platform won't have a WiiU. Assuming that is true for most people, it seems pointless to bring a game to the WiiU that people are more likely to buy on anything but the WiiU.
I think it's better that some games be ported to the system if they deem it worth it (Rayman, and any games they feel the Pad might add to), but that companies try some smaller, more creative titles that take advantage of the game pad. I think overall, the system just needs A) more variety, and B) more games that are critically acclaimed that aren't 1st party titles, because it's clear that a lot more people don't care about the Mario/Zeldas, even though they are usually well received.
I don't really care, the reason is a bit weird but bare with me
I don't care because they poisoned the chalice. They have been doing things like not releasing DLC and releasing late for certain titles, thereby diminishing the value of the game. Why would i get a lower value game if I can get it on my PC/PS4/XBONE and get more for my money, specially as the PC price would be the same as the WiiU price (as they tended to be very slightly lower).
Its nothing to do with Nintendo or anything else, the only people who made the value of the game less on said console was the publisher.
Hurts them a bit in the long run as PC has more distractions for my time, and since theres no resale value I bargain hunt more so more likely to wait for a lower price
(whereas with a console game I might think screw it , buy it, then trade it in)

If I wanted those games I'd buy them on the systems they're on.
I only intermittently played CoD because console FPS is not my online PvP of choice, and am quite thoroughly bored of AC now and couldn't even finish 3.

I seriously see no reason why they shouldn't. Nintendo needs 3rd party games. They have some yes but it seems the developers just don't give a damn about the wii u versions of their games and forget about them as soon as they are released and then make this big deal about how they arent getting sales. MAybe if you guys don't back out of dlc (Arkham origins) not release dlc (Injustice, Assassin's creed COD Mass Effect) maybe if you guys oh I don;t know, took a little chance and actually cared about any potential customers you may have on nintendo systems instead of just vacuuming money from the drones that by COD and such religiously, maybe you might find that hey we can get money on this as well!
But no it all comes down to freakin money, maybe if it didn't cost up into the 65 millions to make games with "SUPER MEGA HOOPTY DO GRAPHICS WITH REALISTIC FACIAL ANIMATION BUT ONLY TWO HOURS OF GAMEPLAY!" and also because Nintendo doesn't like to put companies in their pocket like Sony or have the whole computer electronics market to fall back on like Microsoft.
At least if nintendo would buy people they wouldn't slowly let them die, like what microsoft did with Rare and what EA does with....basically anything they buy. Seriously all of Sony's major titles are made by second parties, Naughty Dog Insomniac Ready at Dawn SantaMonica all of those are not Sony and if someone were to buy them sony would not have anything. Honestly if Nintendo disappears...then so will sony, they've basically made a career of copying and pasting ideas from nintendo. The playstation 1? Originally a nintendo idea, online connectivity for the ps2? Based on an idea intended for the n64DD. The playstation move? It's the wii remote, in fact the original design before they settle on the florecent glowing dildos were actually brown wii remotes just with playstation buttons. The new connectivity with tablets that give you an extra screen? Huh sounds just like what the wii u had been doing for a few years now. The new headset VR thing? The Virtual Boy...though I'll let them have that, no body wants to talk about the Virtual Boy anyway.
Kinda got off topic there but still, don;t see how its any less profitable for Ubisoft or Activision to support the wii u when it is in pretty much the exact same boat as the PS3 was a few years ago.

I don't play either of those franchises, so no.
But even if I did I would probably get them on PC- in my experience, companies seem to half ass Wii and Wii U ports of games like them.

No, I would get them on PC if I wanted them. I've only ever bought one CoD game and that was CoD3 which I bought for 360 many years ago. It looks like it only got worse after that. AC took a massive nose dive when AC3 was released as well, which is a shame. So yeah, no interest in those titles. The target audience for those games is like 10-15 anyway (which has always struck me as strange, considering that they attempt to make the games look mature at a glance.)
Nope, not at all.
Not necessarily only owing to the third party support issues - I don't think the WiiU is a great place for multiplats, owing to the gamepad, mostly.
I don't really see that as a point in it's detriment, personally (of course it is in terms of business), then again I'm not interested at all in multiplats at the moment.
