Nintendo hints at more unannounced third-party Wii U games
Unsurprisingly, Nintendo has teased that a bunch of unannounced third-party Wii U games are in development. Even though a considerable amount of titles were playable at E3 2012, UK boss David Yarnton told VideoGamer that the company is aware of “others in development as well.”
He said:
“I think a lot of third-party companies are developing for Wii U and a lot of it hasn’t been announced. There’s something like 23 games on show at E3, but we know there are others in development as well.”
When specifically asked if Call of Duty: Black Ops II is in development for Wii U, Yarnton said:
“We can’t comment on speculation. There are lots of things everybody wishes for.”
Lastly, Yarnton hinted that third-parties have played a role in adding to the variety of gameplay styles/experiences for the Wii U GamePad:
“That’s one of the things we found with third-party coming in. The developers have opened up some opportunities for us to develop new ways to play and add some new complexities to the game. So you can be playing one game in a certain manner and another in a different way, while still using the [GamePad]. This is what we’re talking about when we talk about asymmetrical gaming. It’s not only multiple views by having the [GamePad], but multiple ways of playing as well.”
