Return of the Support
Nintendo took a major blow when a lot of the larger publishers and developers decided to cut back on support or deny it altogether. While many cried foul you can’t deny that business is business. The Wii U just wasn’t selling enough consoles to justify the costs of developing games, especially exclusive titles, solely for Nintendo’s machine. On the plus side, most of the companies were very public in stating that they would renew their support once the console found its footing and started moving units.
Fast forward to today and you will see a scenario that sounds a lot like what these publishers were requesting. The Nintendo Wii U is selling consoles and have released many games that just keep fans coming back for more. They have managed to prove that they are still a contender even with the presence of both Microsoft’s and Sony’s gaming consoles. Faith has finally been renewed after a very long and arduous two years.
Having some of the highest rated exclusive titles can definitely help a console like the Wii U stand out, but having some of the largest third party studios creating content for your machine tends to grab the attention of those on the fence. With Nintendo slowly working its way back into the good graces of well-known publishers, the future begins to look even brighter.
