Look at their recent history; Tropical Freeze, 3D World, NSMBU; all conservative efforts instead of the ambitious projects gamers wanted.

This has been my biggest complaint against Nintendo this gen. They finally have 'HD hardware' (a silly term, but you get the point), yet outside of shinier visuals (often literally) they've done very little to justify the new hardware... In-fact some releases, such as 3D World, have actually felt like a step back from the ambition of their Wii predecessors.

That's not to say their WiiU games haven't been great, but we shouldn't have to wait 3~ years for titles like XCX and ZeldaU to start arriving. Not when the rest of the industry had spent 5/6 years building the foundation for such titles before the WiiU even released.

Anyway, rant over o/

Couldn't agree more.

I really enjoyed Tropical Freeze and 3D World, but compared to the likes of Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3 last gen, they were severely lacking in "wow" factor. XCX looks like it will be their first Wii U game that really pushes the envelope, and it's arriving in the system's third year. Zelda U also looks promising, but this is the kind of thing they should have been delivering right out of the gate, instead of HD Wii/3DS games.
