Nintendo plans to maintain momentum “for the duration of Wii U”

The problem with Wii U launch is there are just too many ports of games that came out on PS360 already. No coincidence Zombi U is the second best selling title.

Nintendo really needs to come with it in 2013. And I think they need something huge for next Xmas.

Maybe, but a lot of the those port people like me haven't played and are looking forward to buying over the coming months. For example, Ninja Gaiden 3, which with all the improvements and DLC, is clearly the better version. I also want to play Darksiders 3. So year they go ports, but people like me are still buying them.

Nintendo will bring the goods for Christmas 2013, believe it

Same here, I agree.  Although the ports make the line up look unattractive to people who already own PS360, I'm glad these games are on Wii U and I'm really enjoying Darksiders II.  I just think a few more exclusive core offerings in addition to ZombiU and NSMBU would've went a long way.  Imagine if we got Pikmin 3 and MoHun Ultimate at launch.  Geez.

longivity my friend, longevity. Nintendo I think has the year of releases already stretegically planned out. I expect that games like Pikmin 3 and MH will be released during months when there is a drought in gaming. Take 2012 for 3DS for example, when during during the summer months we were on a gaming drought, I believe only Nintendo 3DS was making money with releases like, 05/20 Mario Tennis Open, 06/05 Rayman Origins, 06/19 Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, 07/03 Therhythm Final Fantasy, 07/31 Kindgom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance, 08/19 New Super Mario Bros. 2.

I could only hope that Nintendo follows the same strategic games release plan for the Wii U as I appears IMO to have for the 3DS.
