There isn't a "hardcore" market for Wii U, period. I agree, it's going to be pretty difficult for Nintendo to jump back into the game with repetitive titles, inferior hardware, and a terrible lack of supporting third party developers. They just need some really convincing titles that fans actually want that aren't just rehashes of classic Nintendo.

Ah, yes. Nintendo with their repetitive titles.

In stark contrast to their competitors who keep creating new IPs like Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, Grand Theft Auto, Battlefield, Final Fantasy, Gran Turismo, Halo, Fifa and Resident Evil only to let them be replaced with other new IPs to keep things fresh.

Except all of those titles have a wider appeal than Nintendos. Theres nothing particularly wrong with rehashing the same titles but Nintendo don't really have the diversity to get away with that anymore.

 

CoD - crap

AssCreed - Crap

GTA - Muliplatform, hit and miss titles, DLC makes it better and modding community

Battlefield - Crap, more like Betafield

Final Fantasy - You mean cutscene simulator 2015

Halo - Built on a legacy of great shooters, is one. Heard the last Halo was good.

Fifa - Doesn't appeal to everyone

Resident Evil - Hasn't been a good one in years, since the Gamecube

Gran Turismo - You mean trying to be the "real driving sumilator".

^^All that is just general gamer consensus for people who frequent those crowds.

So much for wide appeal. NIntendo games have a wider appeal than all those combined. No matter where you are in the world people know what and who Mario is. All those games the other guy mentioned are only worth mentioning because of either A) they hay many many rehashed games or B) they had increaible scandals (See GTA, Resident Evil). NIntendo tends to reinvent their own IPs, adds things to make them fresh. What does a new gun in CoD do? What does a new car in Gran Tursimo do? What does the fox say!?

 

Now off at the OP...

This E3 isn't NIntendo's "last chance". People need to get off that train as it hasn't even been built. Doomsayers are just as bad as the paul-bearers of fate. Chances are, Nintendo announces release dates, a couple new IPs. People will get pissed that half the stuff coming to the Wii U isn't hitting the 3DS. Nintendo will likely announce a price drop of 50 dollars in August at Gamescom
