We've seen plenty of third person shooters, yes.
I'm assuming you haven't played Splatoon? Or are you just being willingly obtuse?

When people have less things to buy, then whatever game comes out next will have a higher attach rate because that's all the system has.
Honestly I only bought my Wii U for Mario 3D World. One of my favorite Mario games, ever. Seriously.
The fact I got Bayonetta 2, Splatoon, Mario Maker, a good version of Tekken Tag, Mario Kart 8, Tropical Freeze, and some good eshop games? Icing on the cake.
that's not what I asked lol
I believe that one of the biggest/best reasons to own a Wii U is the stellar virtual console.
People bought Wii Fit U?
I hope you're referring to the Virtual Console available in Wii mode. For me, Wii U's VC has been a massive disappointment.
It did give us an official way to get Mother 1, the e-reader levels in Super Mario Bros 3 and a way to play Duck Hunt on modern Tvs.
Sorry. I agree it does bring a lot of fresh ideas to the TPS genre. It's a really great game & one of the best on Wii U, IMO. I just wish the online felt a bit more "modern" & fleshed out.

If you're in Europe, Wii U VC has been nothing short of amazing. Almost everything in 60Hz for the first time, many "first time in this region" debuts, lots of rarities. Wii VC can't hold a candle to that. Only in the quantity department, of course, thanks to there being more platforms available. Shame about SEGA and Konami...

and the Japan-only Famicom sequel to Excitebike
I'm in NA. The Wii VC for us was pretty fantastic.
Eh, it's bit like the Dreamcast, but with a tenth of the ambition. Yeah, the Wii U has Smash, but the Dreamcast had prime Capcom treating the system like a second party and literally dozens of great fighting games.
The system has a lot more in common with the N64, actually.
Konami supported Wii U Virtual Console pretty well... if we forget about Hudson. Hudson's back catalogue was the best part of Wii Virtual Console, and it's a shame Konami haven't released it on Wii U. (In the West, at least; in Japan, they single-handedly created PC Engine segment of Wii U Virtual Console.)
that's a fair complaint and not to just go on the defense but I feel like it's really obvious why those choices were made, which is the Wii U being the Wii U
hindsight 20/20 but Splatoon was a huge risk for Nintendo and its success wasn't assured
all of that is to say I personally give it a pass because of the reality of the console it was on but if the sequel has the same issues I'll be more annoyed, especially if they wait months before adding standard features

Splatoon being a huge risk is such an odd statement. The game was released in the midst of the shooter genre dominating the industry and was also a new online IP that Nintendo fans had been craving for.
Bayonetta 2 is something I would consider a huge risk
I think there's a bit of that at play but also Nintendo has a very staunch core Base. It doesn't really speak that much when you sell 13 million and the software sales because the market for their platforms is usually very unique unto itself with many likely only only that as their only platform. And that's with competition that is clearly Superior in the software but it just goes to show you how much Equity Nintendo has with their base.Pretty cool system in its own way. Splatoon, Smash, and Mario Maker made the system worth it for me. Sucks that it ended up in its current situation. Here's to NX starting off better. Can't wait to see what it'll do.
like I said, hindsight 20/20
go look up some of the pre-release splatoon threads to see how many people thought its success was a given
When people have less things to buy, then whatever game comes out next will have a higher attach rate because that's all the system has.
Hindsight has nothing to do with it... The game hit many beats that allowed it to succeed in this current game climate. We shouldn't look at the opinions of gamers on forums as some kind of barometer of success. Xenoblade X would have been successful if that was the case.
i don't think it got nothing to do with the system. Cod ghosts on wiiu have a lot of stuff people complained about splatoon, like voice chat, the hability to change gear anytime, private matchs and so for it.that's a fair complaint and not to just go on the defense but I feel like it's really obvious why those choices were made, which is the Wii U being the Wii U

I think, with the exception of private matches, the decisions are quite deliberate and i don't think they will adress those in the next game.
I agree with that the latter, i was just talking about the online critique. I can totally see Nintendo doing the exact same thing in the sequel, with the exception of a couple of those.I was talking more about the player base on the Wii U and decisions like the map and mode rotations coupled with the fact that Splatoon was a risky venture and it selling as well as it did wasn't guaranteed

Explain why LBP3 flopped then.
This is my collection of physical games. I also have Wind Waker HD but digitally.
I had Nintendoland because it came with the Wii U on launch. I sold it. It was a good decision, I don't regret it.
Wii U had some good games but to say it had the best library of this generation :/ You are clearly being a fanboy.
Hugely disappointing follow-up to the greatest console of all time. That said, I did rather enjoy a handful of games.
