Can someone point me in the direction of an 'Upcoming WiiU release schedule' list that isn't filled with speculation?

It should come as no surprise if 3rd party ports of 360/PS3 games aren't as good on WiiU. Regardless of how powerful it may or may not be its a new console for the devs to learn.
Plus confidence isn't high on the WiiU so expect ports to be unoptimised for the rest of the current gen. There's no point for them to spend the money at the moment.Follow me on Twitter: @MrTom

So the WiiU falls between two stools? It'll be the console to avoid while this gen plays out due to unoptimised multiplatform games, and then the console to avoid in the next gen because the competitors are capable of so much more?

I like you state as if it were a fact and not something that is pretty much just reliant on a matter of taste. Yes, it is almost gospel among a certain set of gamers the Wii is viewed as a ghost town to the PS360's wild west, but that this prevalent view is so dominant on the likes of message boards like this doesn't make it any more true.
The strongest hardware doesn't always sell the most? Does that somehow mean that the Wii's software catalogue is better than the 360s?
But as shown by the Wii itself, being comparatively under specced certainly didn't help in terms of providing an amazing breadth of software.
Yes, it did. There were tons of games that only appeared on the Wii precisely because it was easier to develop for. You think Kororinpa or Sin & Punishment 2 or Fragile would appear on the PS360? Those development teams did not and probably still don't have the resources to be able to do that.
Games like Kororinpa were relegated to a download ghetto by Microsoft and Sony, the idea that you could devote some serious resources to a package title like that and expect the same amount of compensation because the resulting product wasn't of any less quality in design than than a production that ran tens of millions of dollars may have died with the Wii.
Sin & Punishment 2 is only allowed because the last-gen graphics allowed for some measure of return on Nintendo's investment in picking Treasure's niche gems. The only way that would make it to market on PS360 would be if it were multiplayer heavy or of the artistic wankery.
Then you have Fragile, which is by a huge publisher, but a small game with less availability of the company's resources. Namco would never be crazy tp give a game like that enough of the development time it needed with a full team working on HD assets. Not in a million years.
And the Wii had gobs of this stuff, of course not all of it good, and of course more than a few titles of debatable quality. I know it gets overlooked because "LOL Wii," but that doesn't change the reality of the situation -- it just points to the tunnel vision of confirmation bias these people enjoy basking in.
Being the same level of power and fostering the same development path as the PS360 would have killed the Opoonas and Zack & Wikis and Hospitals and Tatsunoko vs. Capcoms dead before they even came to market. The gap between between downloadable titles and the major HD releases into a middle road of ambition that has been sustainable up to this point was entirely due to the Wii's hardware weakness giving it that advantage.
In fact the matter was so serious that out of the three major territories, one completely abandoned consoles as the main market and went to handhelds precisely because they offered less power and a richer development environment because of that.
Whether this generation bucks the not-so-weird-when-you-think-about-it remains to be seen, but quite apart from where the games I want to play appear, my heart will support the console maker whose platform gives the widest variety of developers the opportunity to shine, for whatever reason. -

That looks pretty cool. I'm always going around on the 'net checking out people's opinions, but a problem with the net is that it breeds its own culture and its hard to find relatively normal people opinions on niche games, so if this helps with that, that's great. I'm always weary of these types of features that replicate social aspects of phones or computers though; I always feels like my cell phone can do so much better, why bother?

If and when I get a Wii U, I'll have to check this out and see if its worth digging into or if its appeal dies as the novelty wears off. The 3DS chat feature and messaging system hasn't yet, surprisingly. (I also wonder if there are some annoyances that crop up when you use it more too...) -

Registered 8 years agoEh. It'll be at least a year before we can judge whether the 3rd party situation will change or not for the WiiU. Before that, between the launch and 1st year deficit of software that all new platforms experience and the stigma of the Wii handicapping 3rd party expectations from the getgo, and just waiting to see how the sales environment shakes up, even if a miracle happens and somehow the WiiU ends up a software juggernaut for every type of game imaginable, it probably won't be in 2013 that it happens anyway. -

Registered 7 years agopsn and live embrace of the indie games have been probably the best thing of this gen for me. Really looking forward to seeing what they have up there sleeves. Signs - ninty allowing them to set own price points, having no limit on size is a good sign. A pullbox for the wii u please.gif)
