The lack of a hardware boost for the Wii U this week is almost chilling. It feels suspiciously like the Japanese have given up on the Wii U as a failed platform, which is not good at all. Only Smash Bros. and Mario Kart have any hope of providing a meaningful boost. However, the decision to have a 3DS version might end up killing the Wii U's best chance.

Nintendo really needs some new evergreen IP to interest people who are ambivalent to the usual suspects.
