What's up with the Wii U in Japan? Where are the third party games? (Hint: Nowhere)

Situation is unbearable. No company in Japan besides Nintendo is producing Wii U games. This is a dead console walking. I have never seen something like this. Not even 1 company is risking itself by making a single Wii U game.

I'm not exaggerating when I say NO company. the Fiscal Year results will be a bloodbath

I do not believe that is entirelty truth, however I agree that the situation is far from healty. It seems like Nintendo was anticipating this kind of output and thought the best idea was to create small eshop games in between their big games. That along with their collaborations and the unexpected/safebet third parties titles are just as much as we can expect from it. 

Unfortunately, it's entirely true. No company has made any WiiU exclusive game since launch and there's been none announced to come (Taiko I believe was the sole game). There's not safebet third party stuff, there's basically no games from them. MHFG is not a game you would count as support, Yakuza HD isn't either. Neither is a late Tekken Tag Tournament port or Tank Tank Tank.

Other than that it's been ports. Nothing more. And nothing else will come. I expect dreadful things and results during the FY End Investor's meeting.

oh that part I agree. WiiU exclisuves are not going to happen very often, maybe another Taiko game, fatal frame (even though this is kind of second party now) and that's about it. I am expecting though that at least some multiplats will be relased this year. Since I am not expecting Fifa to come to the wiiU this year, maybe Konami will jump this year, capcom and someof it figthers games, maybe some level 5 game (besides wonderflick), gunh ho (marvelous)...

 besides that it'll be just nintendo and their collaboration titles. I hope they have many of them planned for the next years.

About the investors meeting it all depends, I believe nintendo will make a decent profit this year, wiiu numbers are going to be terrible but the 3ds + what the wii and ds are still selling might mitigate their wiiu output.

 Investment in China may keep investors happy and help to soften the blow.
