They are unveiling some 'big' game for it tomorrow at 6pm PST...no idea what it is. 

Even so, that's like two games (three, counting the localization of Fantasy Life). Otherwise, it's all hands on deck to try and salvage the Wii U. On the one hand, at least Nintendo isn't just throwing up their hands the way Sony (save SCEJ) pretty much has with the Vita, so credit for that. But they couldn't even manage to make games fast enough for the Wii, and with the Wii U pretty much everything is outsourced or "2015" (read: probably 2016). The 3DS is already trending heavily down YOY, and I don't think a Pokemon remake and any "big" game doing much to reverse that trend. That is only going to convince third parties that dedicated handhelds are, indeed, doomed - which turns into a self-fulfilling prophecy as they make even fewer games for them.

I think the overall takeaway from this E3 is that games are stupidly big and expensive now. All the delays and then EA's galling conference of concept art and "sneak peeks" convinced me we're reaching some kind of breaking point.
