I understand that Nintendo likes to innovate and come up with gimmicks or whatever they like to call them. And truly they could be good ideas if 3rd parties knew how to use them as well as Nintendo. But, the problem is that Nintendo gives off the feeling of writing a shitty essay where one expects the reader to read your mind. To understand what you're saying without you saying it.

It doesn't work that way unfortunately. The hardware that Nintendo designs for their successful franchises doesn't always translate well to other franchises. All of the third party companies have some initial good ideas like Zombie U and whatnot, but once they finish with these fleshed out tech demos, you really can't expect publishers to keep dedicating resources specifically to coming up with games that work well with Nintendo's hardware, which usually won't translate well to other consoles. The fact that the Wii U also doesn't have the advanced hardware that the PS4 and 720 will have is also going to hurt them. Being compatible with a normal controller is a sign that Nintendo finally sees their foible, and is working to address it.

Year 1-2: All the third parties release the initial ideas that they came up with fairly easily because the hardware is a new idea.

Year 2-3: Most third party titles made for the end of the 360/PS3 era and the beginning of the next gen are ported to the Wii U because it's hardware is still relevant in terms of power.

Year 3-4: Return to the point of the Wii's cycle where publishers are making games way more complex than the U can handle, and it would hurt them to reduce the technical quality to run on the Wii. Their drawing boards have run dry on good ideas for the Wii U hardware, and a lot of the early Wii U adopters move on to the 720 and PS4.

The Wii U will be another 3-5 year cycle console, while the next gen thrives for closer to 10.

Those are just my thoughts and ramblings anyway.
