So what do you think about wii u and New 3ds in terms of big announcements?What do you expect?

For the most part, I think Wii U is set in terms of big releases to finish out the year, here's the Q3/Q4 exclusive retail lineup of Nintendo-published titles for Wii U in 2013/2014/2015.

2013-Pikmin 3, New Super Luigi U, Wonderful 101, Wind Waker HD, Wii Party U, Super Mario 3D World

2014-Wii Sports Club, Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta 2, Super Smash Bros, Captain Toad, NES Remix Pack

2015-Yoshi's Woolly World, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Mario Maker, Fatal Frame V, Devil's Third, Star Fox

6 Nintendo-published exclusive retail titles each year. We might get 1 or 2 minor titles at E3.

As for 3DS, I'm not sure. I was hoping Fire Emblem IF & Youkai Watch would make it to the west this year but it seems both are set for 2016. I'm not sure if Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer is retail or just eShop, maybe that & Pokemon Z or X2/Y2 will be the fall combo for 3DS with some localizations like Final Fantasy Explorers or Bravely Second showing up as well.

Worth noting is that for Wii U, I could see them announcing a world wide release of SMTxFE in December, but that's not too certain given the size of the project. 

Also, can I jsut say that the Wii U lineup in the second half actually looks to have a lot of potential?  Especially with the way Mario Maker is shaping up.  MM was looking to be a small fun title with lots of limits, but now looks really deep and interesting.  The others are all middle weights historically (potential aside) or light weights (Fatal Frame and Devil's Third for sure), but the combination has potential.  If Star Fox is 64-esque, the nostalgia alone will be a major boon to the Wii U.  These factors plus a pricecut and a smart bundle or two could result in a pretty big second half.  But I think the pricecut very much key to all this. 

No, SMTxFE was confirmed for 2016 in the west.

And I agree that the lineup has potential and a pretty solid mix of titles. Things like Xenoblade/Fatal Frame/Devil's Third for the "hardcore"/mature crowd, things like Yoshi/Mario Maker/Star Fox for the traditional Nintendo fan and kids/families.
