It's not 2006. It's 2016. It's not one less niche game, it's three big budget 1st party games. Just because Nintendo didn't confirm yet something doesn't mean it's not happening. The Paper Mario rumor is specifically for Wii U and comes from three sources simultaneously who all have gold records for legit info. On top of that, the leak that outed Pokemon Sun/Moon, as well as 3 other games, says that there is one unannounced major first party game to come this holiday for the Wii U. To ignore all that evidence for at least Paper Mario releasing this holiday for Wii U is to be willfully naive. |
The years are different, but the situation in the past is the same as it is now. Nintendo has a new console to show off. It still makes sense to focus on it above all else, especially over a dead console. It's one niche game (iirc it didn't even do well in Japan) and two possible NX titles. I didn't say they aren't happening, I just said they aren't necessarily Wii U titles. We can only wait and see on that, but even if they are announced for Wii U later today, that can also be a reason not to talk about them in conference.
