When you buy one of their consoles, you should be going in with the understanding that you are buying it on faith that they will deliver great games.  I plan on buying a Wii U eventually and I think Nintendo has some great games coming out in the next year.  But starting with the N64 they started losing third party support.  When I bought a Gamecube it was well into the lifespan and I was buying it just for the first and second party games.  I would bet Mario Kart 8 will look as good or better as most games on the Xbone and PS4 but I would not buy the Wii U for third party games, including pinball arcade.</blockquote>
