They produced bugger all for the Wii for 2 years, they should at least have some Wii U games to show for it. But no, Pikmin 3 is 4 months late and counting, we haven't even SEEN 3D Mario, Smash Bros, Mario Kart, etc, Retro Studios is AWOL, and we don't have confirmed dates for ANY first party content after 4 months into the system's lifespan. It boggles the mind how the minds behind the Wii's phenomenal success could handle a console launch so thoroughly incompetently. |
This is correct. The stream of software following launch is absolutely appalling. Clearly there were many things done right with the launch, but the momentum has just completely and utterly gone.
Rayman Legends wasn't secured in a proper exclusivity contract; Pikmin 3, a game which started life as a Wii title, delayed further and further. Just seems a bit of a mess to be honest. I'd have thought that the lack of Wii titles later in its life would've been indicative of Nintendo gearing up to get Wii-U titles ready for launch window, but NSMBU + NintendoLand is a lot less than I was expecting.
