Wow. It's amazing how completely clusterf---ed the WiiU's launch is compared to others, especially Wii's as far as software support.
Wii greatly benefited from a lot of games pulled off the failing Gamecube's release schedule (LoZ:TP, DK:BB, FE:RD, Mario Strikers Charged, Super Paper Mario) but still there were a lot of dedicated Wii games ready for the first year.
WiiU in comparison.... WTF Nintendo?
It doesn't make sense to me, unless with market research Nintendo knew in advance WiiU would be a dud and knew the middling titles normally released in the summer wouldn't be nearly strong enough to save it so they pulled all that development resources for the (then) struggling 3DS so at least they'd have one strong leg to stand on. It's a bit of a conspiracy theory granted but looking at the lanches for all their other home consoles and then WiiU - it's a shockingly stark comparison. And I don't believe they underestimated HD development that badly. Now that 3DS is stable they've had time to prime major titles for WiiU and if they don't bring it to at least N64 levels, expect all further game development to be pulled for WiiU's replacement just like GC's was for Wii.
