Injustice: Gods Among Us is the Wii U’s only retail release this month

Fooled me once, shame on you.
Fooled me twice, shame on me.

In other words, I hope Nintendo has learned from this that most third parties cannot be trusted to (a) keep to a release schedule or (b) release games for Nintendo platforms, even after talking about being partners.

This software dead period, like the one on the 3DS, seems at least in part to have been a planned response to let third parties have a time to shine. Unfortunately, everyone who was interested put their games in the launch window -- and others appear to have feigned interest to find out more information about the console.

While it is not good to have this dead time ... I would be far more concerned that Wal-Mart stores generally have less than half the 40-plus retail releases available. There are a good number of games for the system -- more than some classic systems ever had in a lifetime and more than four times as many games as is the average bought per console owner over the lifetime of a system (in other words, the attach rate).
