Anyone else feel like there's no good games out on the next-gen yet?

Just need to convince people its not a plugin for original wii.

There are two points of view on this.
Are people who think the above just stupid?
Or are they, in fact, idiots?

For heavens sake, and the sake of the children will the two sides of the argument ever find consensus?

I think I have a solution though....
People who think the Wii U is an add-on for the Wii are stupid-idiots, there, consensus reached!

Peace in our time!

I'd be of the opinion that nintendo's marketing department are stupid-idiots for not realising that the majority of the market are stupid-idiots.

In fairness the marketing has been absolutely woeful. Whenever I mention the WiiU to friends of mine they have no idea what I'm talking about but they are well aware of the PS4 and Xbox One. Not a great name to begin with, and then zero marketing to back it up. Great system though.

I don't think they're idiots. Most people just don't closely follow gaming and if I didn't, I'd probably barely know anything about the Wii U either. Nintendo have been terrible at marketing it so far.

Re: OP, yes I do think this generation seems to be off to a bit of a slow start. Funnily enough, even though 2013 had some of the biggest games of the last few years and also two new consoles released, the Christmas period was probably one of the driest in memory for quality games. We had very little beyond our annual instalments of Assassin's Creed, Battlefield and Call of Duty and these finally seem to be starting to wear people down a little bit. Since then the only big games one either system were Titanfall and Infamous SS but these haven't had the success of last gen system-sellers like Gears of War or Uncharted.

In terms of "next gen experience", the only one that ticks the box for me is Battlefield 4. Looks amazing and the multiplayer is definitely a big step up from the 360/ PS3.

We're only going to see some worthwhile content on the current gen consoles once developers ditch the last gen (360/PS3). I have a feeling the cross generational development of games is holding the current gen back. The likes of Arkham Knight will be a good indicator of what we can expect going forward.

I really don't get these comments/threads.

There are plenty games on every system currently available.... in most cases there are too many good games!

You see, I said the very same thing when I read the article, thinking of all the joes I know who'd brought it as there first console since like the megadrive.

Thing is my friend, an avid pc gamer, owner of a wii, a 360 and a solid gaming Pc which gets plenty of use asked me "whats the story with the wii u? Is it some kind of add on?" All of a sudden the blame went straight from users to nintendo in my mind.

The thing is, if you dont follow gaming news all you'd have to go on is that theres a touch screen controller, its called the U, not really a sequel type name, pictures or hints it was a seperate console are rare, and lets face its from the company who gave us the super scope, gameboy camera and a million other addons.

I think the bemused press about nintendos trouble selling and users confusion probably didnt help, if you just looking through headlines seeing "is the wii u an addon?" Probably adds some subconcious confusion

You mean 5 good games on Wii U surely (exclusives)????
Mario 3D World (despite being easy)
New Super Mario Bros U
Pikmin 3
Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze
Mario Kart 8 (fingers crossed it'll be good, reviews seem to say so)

I was PS3 for 4 years, then X-Box 360 for a few years as it was more social and my friends have them. But have to say there are not enough decent EXCLUSIVES, and I stress that word cause if I can get a game on last-gen, well i will (i.e. Destiny and Watch Doges).

I think this was always a bit of a problem with the last 2 generations but it seems seriously exhasberated this time round. When a console lands we should be like "holy-molly those 4 release games are the bomb-dizzle, gotta get me one of them"

I'm gonna either wait a year or more or just play games on PC. Not worth the money as I don't see the jump in quality warranting the cost.

Got myself a Wii U, well kind of got it for my misses to be fair, most fun i've had in ages and not breaking the bank either. Plus you can watch netflix on the gamepad

I'd add Scram Kitty, Wonderful 101, ZombiU, Lego City Undercover, NintendoLand and the two NES Remix games to that.

I will look those up in that case. I actually got NintendoLand with it but never put it on

It's really only good in multiplayer.
