Can anyone say "Dreamcast"? Being turned down before release is worrying.

I can say Dreamcast just fine but I certainly would not equate the Wii U to the Dreamcast prior to launch.

Keep in mind we have yet to even have E3 yet we still know the following games are in development:

Aliens: Colonial Marines
Assassin's Creed III
Batman: Arkham City
Untitled Battlefield
Darksiders II
Untitled Dirt
Dragon Quest X: The Five Awakening Races Online
Untitled F1/Formula One
Killer Freaks from Outer Space
Lego City Stories
Metro: Last Light
Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge
Pikmin 3
Project CARS
Project Nova
Untitled Rabbids
Untitled Super Mario game
Untitled Super Smash Bros. sequel
Untitled Tekken
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Online
Untitled The Legend of Zelda
Your Shape Wii U

 

Hardly being "Dreamcasted" I'd say.


The slight problem with that list is that a lot of those games are multiplatform. 
I know it's a crappy source, but from my experience most wii owners have at least one 360 or PS3 in their household. If the rumours are true that the WiiU is less powerful then the current consoles, then it begs the question why anyone would buy a new console to play games they can already play on their existing console with their existing friends on Live/PSN.
As much as the controller is interesting, the timing of the release and the content just seems too much like the Dreamcast for me.
