They are boosting the WiiU by dishing out Top tier quality 1st party games. Third party devs will follow suit as soon as the WiiU is in a stable position. Nintendo doesnt need to extend thier hand to the third party dev since the 3rd party devs walked out on Nintendo in the 1st place.

When the WiiU is more stable, The 3rd party devs will have to crawl back to nintendo... not the other way around.

and as you can see its not like nintendo needs help in dishing out top quality 1st party games

Post your picture so I can do the little line above it leading to a quote. havent decided on the quote yet but probably go with

The Ps2 was when games made the true transition from an attempted emulation of the console experience to a more fully realised idea of console games as an experience meant not just to amuse, but to really sink ones teeth into. Lets compare the way the two consoles approached puzzle games. The Dreamcast gives us Chu Chu Rocket - colourful, simple, cartoony. Gaming equivalent of candy. The Ps2 gives us Ico. Artistic, hauntingly beautiful, impactful in the way no game before it could have been. Gamings ambrosia.

Ico started on the PSX. Shenmue started on the Saturn. Chu Chu Rocket is loving awesome.

They would have to do more than just be 'stable' to regain third party support, they would need to significantly outperform the PS4 and XBone for a long period of time to make it worth it, that is how it was with the wii and so will have to be with wii u, and while catering to it's fanbase may get the company to break even, without the broad audience it used to have Nintendo is going to have to buy it's third party support for the foreseeable future (like it did with Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta).

Nintendo is gonna kill it this holiday and by January 2015 they will be posting a profit again, mark my words.

I think January might be a little late if they want to meet their FY15 forecasts unless they get an unusually big Q4. They're protecting a profit for the year, and I think they're banking on Smash being released on schedule which I'm not entirely sure will happen.

Have they announced a playable Tingle for Hyrule Warriors yet? Having the Koopa Kids in Mario Kart was amazing, and made up for them being ignored for a decade.

They haven't had a bad fiscal year in like five decades prior. Nintendo has never really seen other companies as competitors because Sony and MS are always in the red fiscally. They waste more money than they make on shallow pandering and public image.

I will say that Nintendo might be able to survive without third party support, but it’s a better company when the third party support is around.

Nintendo has such a windfall of cash in their vaults that it could power them for another 50 years alone. It used to be a lot more, but the Wii U ate up a pretty sizable chunk of it.

They Dynasty Warriors game will sell at least six million copies and Nintendo Wii U will out sell the PlayStation 4 and XBOX One combined by the time Christmas is over. When Smash Borthers comes out Sony and Microsoft will close their gaming divisions and join Nintendo. It will be an experience one can really sink one's teeth into. I am super excited to get the hauntingly beautiful PlayStation version of Octodad on the Wii U since it's one of the best games ever besides Nintendo's typical ambrosia. I actually hear the PlayStation 4 really is pretty bad at the moment so the entirety of Sony might go out of business before the end of the year. we living in very interesting times. Do not have a cow.
