Nintendo's Wii U Fall Line-Up: will it be enough?

If Yarn Yoshi were releasing this holiday, why wouldn't it have been in the Nintendo Direct? I'm not sure it's making it out this fall. And I think Retro is working on something else. The video about DKC makes it sound like Retro was working with another group on the title, which leads me to believe that the team was split and the other part of Retro is working on something else (which is probably Metroid, since that's the last of the 'big 3' franchises to appear on the Wii U). I think Wii U Zelda will release 2015. And I agree that Nintendo needs to REALLY market Bayonetta 2 and X. I think X could be a real breakout title if they put some oomph behind it. Xenoblade Chronicles would have sold probably double (if not more) in the US if they'd pressed enough copies or down a second run. Anticipation for that title will be high, and if Nintendo does it right they could have a real nice RPG-exclusive franchise on their hands. Bayonetta 2 will be a big test of the 'core' audience on Wii U, but I think it has a real shot at being successful as well.

I saw a rumor that 2014 is the year of Yoshi so I think Yoshi's Island 3DS, Yarn Yoshi and New Super Yoshi U DLC/retail will all show up next year.

I agree about Retro having a second title and probably Metroid slated for late 2014/early 2015
