After another Direct in Oct that will discuss Wii U sales improvement over the past few months, more detail on Holiday line up and announce holiday bundles. The next one will be in January talking about successful holiday season, giving new details and release dates for early 2014 line up, finally show off Yarn Yoshi and SMTxFE, then at the end show a teaser trailer for Zelda. In April announce a price cut to $250 fot the Deluxe and a $300 Mario Kart 8 bundle. |
IMO they won't have a price cut if the holiday season is succesful, if more games show up sales will probably boost, regardless of a price cut (to back this up: many stores have decreased the Wii U's price due to the poor sales,without any effect to the sales, but after the Xbone announcement, the sales rank went up 875% on amazon{where IIRC the price was the same}).
they probably will have one however, if the holiday season isn't succesful, so they can have another shot in holiday 2014 with Smash Bros, Mario Kart and More.

honestly, who wouldn't expect this? since Nintendo Directs are scattered throughout the year, we can't expect them to show EVERYTHING at once, they scatter the announcements in each monthly Direct so they can have a steady schedule of announcements.
NDs might not have the same feeling of E3, but if you put all the games announced at the directs in this year, and double it as the year is only half over, do you think all the games could be announced at a single E3? no, so we basically get more games.
(here's a fun thought however, if Nintendo did have all the games in this year's 12 directs revealed at an E3 press confrence,on a scale of 1 to 10, how fucked would Sony and MS be?

the whole point of remaking it was because the new WiiU Zelda game seems like it will take some time to be completed, so they gave us the WW remake to play with in the meantime, (an HD remake of a game with good graphics is a million times more simple than making a new game, so it's pretty safe to assume that WWHD didn't take a lot of dev time
