Mario Kart. Smash. Zelda. Metroid. "Open world" Mario. I know this has been said over and over, but it's true. There are people who will literally not buy a new Nintendo console until one of those games are out. And the the audiences are generally completely different. They'll only buy one and they'll wait for it.

It's like Pokemon for handhelds. Did I want Mario Kart 7? Sure. Did I want Ocarina of Time 3D? Duh. Did I want a 3DS the day it was announced? Yep. When did I buy a 3DS? This March. Why? They finally announced Pokémon 3DS and released a Pikachu 3DS XL.

I got my Wii U because I was so done with my Wii and I had no other system, but if I did have a 360 or PS3, I sure as hell wouldn't own a Wii U yet. I'd probably buckle over when Mario Kart 8 came out.
