I think this might be an opportune time to revive this thread.
2 investors meetings have passed by and still, no new announcements. Not even multiplatform games are getting a Wii U version in Japan.

Looking at the upcoming 3rd party schedule we got a year old+ 3DS port coming to all HD platforms and 3 western localizations. Besides that there's nothing else and there probably won't be for a very, very long time if ever. Depressing.

Wanted to check on people's opinions now that the panorama for this year is clear.

What Japanese multiplats have been announced that Wii U is missing?

Most recent is a Dead or Alive 5 project by Tecmo Koei. Will need to check further, but there are some games.

I can't think of anything relevant.  Only garbage you might throw at old systems that have a 150 million userbase and hope some sales stick.

The idea that Wii U has been missing Japanese 3rd party multiplats is completely false at this stage, and you proved the point with your response.  Nothing has been announced for Next Gen, and little for PS360 of any value.  The one title that comes to mind is the RE 3DS port, and Wii U is getting that.  Wii U isn't missing anything, not anymore than any other system.  Not yet anyway.

How about we compare upcoming Japanese schedules from 3rd parties before you say WiiU isn't missing anything? You can check for yourself which games were announced at a time that meets your crtiteria, I'm sure there are plenty.
