I am furious from both a consumer stand point and a business stand point. Nintendo proved at E3 they are not taking the industry seriously they haven't learnt a thing since 3DS had a botched release. This is the most horrific launch of a Nintendo console to date.

Reggie has been talking since last year "We need the core" and "we need to make sure we have the games". We need third party support and we need to have a solid line up. But at E3 only Pikmin and Assassins Creed 3 represent the core. EAGames who last year said every major IP was going to be on WiiU this year stated only sports games and Mass Effect 3 were coming to WiiU, Activision who also talked major support last year only has Skylanders and in fact has less confidence in WiiU then they had with Wii. Sega who promised last year a new Sonic is virtually non existent. Square Enix is missing where was DragonQuestX and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicle's?

All the Nintendo first party core games are missing. Where's Retro's game? Where's Silicon Knights game? Where are the other games? We know several first party titles were in development. Now we hear Nintendo is ditching EternalDarkness 2 sorry it shows that Nintendo simply is not taking a hint.

For the first time since GBA I will not be buying a Nintendo system day one. The only way I would reconsider is if Pikmin3 is there day one with online multiplayer and coop, NewSuperMarioBrosU also day one, NintendoLand bundled free with the hardware at 299.99$ WiiFitU released by December. CoD:BO2 and MoH:WF both released and Metro brought back to the line up. Nintendo must also provide evidence by launch that Retro's game and Eternal Darkness 2 are both coming in 2013.

That isn't that much to ask. In fact it was already promised by Nintendo, EAGAMES and Activision. I'm not asking for anything that wasn't promised. Reggie promised core games he promised third party support! So unless Nintendo proves they intend to keep their promise I will be jumping ship.

I don't have money or time for this shit. With Wii I got all my core games Far Cry, Splinter Cell, Red Steel, Legend of Zelda. I got Sonic, Monkey Ball shortly after launch SSX. Nintendo had third party core titles they had first party titles.

With WiiU they have what Mario? Assassins Creed 3 and what? Zilch they aren't even giving us Pikmin3 launch day according to their schedule. This is unacceptable and I suspect if the hardware launches at 349.99$ or higher it will receive a price cut within 6 months and Nintendo will again lose hundreds of millions.

I am beginning to think Nintendo's leadership is purposely running the company into the ground. I mean Reggie has said constantly what Nintendo needs to do, he has proven the company is very well aware of what they are doing wrong. But instead of changing course or taking any moves to reduce the companies vulnerability instead they are focusing on doing exactly what gave them their first annual loss in recorded history.

Nintendo isn't going to go bankrupt. But I think it might be time for Iwata to stand down, he did an amazing job but this E3 shows that he doesn't understand the current climate in gaming. Reggie should be promoted to Keats's job.


first off, when did they promise ED2 and when did they say it was cancelled?? Link please, cause i would have loved that game.

2nd those core games you listed are horrible, horrible. FarCRY?? really?? you liked that game. red steel sucked, SC sucked. TP was good, even though it was a port. Sonic and the secret rings sucked. ever worst than shadown at least you had some modicum of control. 

I find it funny you think the launch is bad, i think its a way better lineup than Wii was. at least in terms of 3rd party. AC3 only is better than all those games you mentioned. As is Batman and Rayman. funny you forgot those were there. No i have not played AC3 or the new Rayman. But having played prior games in those series im sure they are better than that list you just gave off. "With Wii i got all my core games" yeah, crappy ones, unless you enjoyed them then more power to you.

3rd U still believe in Reggie?? thats your own fault
