Well deserved. It's the sole reason I bought a Wii U.
Before Christian Svensson left Capcom, he mentioned that the publisher had other future projects planned for Wii U. He also said not to expect many ports of titles such as Resident Evil 6 and Lost Planet 3. Although, the next game that came out from it on Wii U was Resident Evil: Revelations HD. Of course, given how poorly Wii U has done this year, Capcom could have cancelled some projects for it.
It will be interesting to see what home console the next Monster Hunter game comes out on. PS4 seems to have the advantage in terms of a potentially bigger install base (it's not like Japanese gamers haven't expressed much interest in Wii U this year), but Capcom has a good relationship with Nintendo, and may be more willing to assist in reducing development costs among other things.
Europe had a MH3U system bundle right? Maybe i'm thinking of zombiU
Third-party games do well on Nintendo consoles when the Nintendo console is the flagship platform.
Sonic & All-Stars Racing: Transformed, Trine 2: Director's Cut and Rayman Legends say "Well, Hello there!!"
They do well when they're done well, and they actually care to promote that those versions exist. It helps that these games get all the same content, online elements, DLC and features as the other versions, and are released at the same time. The vast majority of such games don't tick all of these boxes, and they don't follow through on these things, so they're either disadvantaged, sent to their death, or both. Or, in the case of Mass Effect 3, you could go in to your local games store at launch, and buy the same game for less than half the price elsewhere, or buy the single entry for the same price as the trilogy, also released elsewhere. In this climate, these are the type of decisions which people are making before they part with their money. Nintendo fans are not to blame for developer and publishing house failures, and it's not on those fans to be 'grateful'. It's on developer and publishing houses to deliver on their products, and collectively, they have failed the Wii U, Nintendo and Nintendo fans there.
I completely disagree. There are some games really gimped or in a bad position, but some other games had no excuses, like Revelations HD, where the Wiiu got a lot exposure and all. Need for speed also was marketed as the best version, Tekken Tag 2...Sonic & All-Stars Racing: Transformed, Trine 2: Director's Cut and Rayman Legends say "Well, Hello there!!"

Oh cool! So it's safe to assume digital sales are included from here on out? I wonder if the old Platinum charts numbers will be adjusted for digital too?In their most recent press release regarding sales numbers, Capcom included download card + eShop sales along with shipments.

man would buy MH4U day -1
What great news. I'm 260 hours in and still hunting. Wonderful game.
I think I'll celebrate with some more hunts.
MH4U incoming!
Well deserved. 286 hours in MH3U and im still playing it!
Yet they apparently don't have money to fund next gen fighting games.
GTFO Ono, no one is believing that bullshit. If you want people to buy USFIV say it upfront.

Japanese developer - 500k = smash hit
American developer - 500k = flop, close down studio, burn ashes
Capcom and Square Enix would disagree with that statement.
I thought Rayman Legends sold like shit? I need someone to confirm this.
Wii U Premium, MH3U and a Pro Controller. Counts as a 150 AUD price drop, to me.Europe had a MH3U system bundle right? Maybe i'm thinking of zombiU
Yes, but the Wii U version performed better than the others.
Link? Not doubting you, but I hadn't heard about that so just curious.
I don't have the time at the moment to go back for the direct quote, but creamsugar (or one of the verified insiders) confirmed in the latest NPD thread that Rayman sold 55% of copies on Wii U, which is an incredible number because Wii U probably represents like 1% of systems that the game came out for.

Ubisoft panicking and delaying Rayman Legends never made sense to me. Even if you wanted to take it multiplatform, they should have let the Wii U version release in Feb as planned, and just release the 360/Vita/PC/PS3 version when they could.
As it played out, all it did was cost them potential Wii U sales, because Wii U owners were starved for content and Rayman would have been something they tried out.
