PAOerfulone's prediction on how future of Wii U and how NX will shape up.

[PAOerfulone]

Now, I'll go on record now and say while I, like most of you, were disappointed with the Digital Event, it wasn't terrible though. We still got plenty of great games to look forward to, it's just that they're games that we already know about and we were going to buy anyways, like Yoshi, Xenoblade, Fire Emblem, etc.
Nintendo stated earlier that for this year's E3, they were aiming to showcase games that they were planning to release in the immediate future, which were games that will be coming out in 2015, up to Q1 2016. And I believe there may be a reason for that.

So this is what I predict. The Legend of Zelda for Wii U, will release next year, for the Zelda series' 30th anniversary, and that will be the Wii U's swan song, much like Skyward Sword was the Wii's swan song on the series' 25th anniversary. BUT, aside from Zelda Wii U, 2016 will be a dry year for Wii U, much like 2013 was, with a few more niche titles here and there to go along with SMTxFE and Project Treasure. And 2017 will be much like 2012 was for the Wii.
And due to Wii U's poor sales figures, we will not see any of Nintendo's heavy hitters like a new 3D Mario game, a mainline console Animal Crossing, Metroid Prime 4 (or a mainline Metroid period), a console Paper Mario game or any other main Nintendo games until the launch of NX, to ensure the NX has strong launch lineup right off the bat.

So yeah, all of Nintendo's main console projects besides Zelda Wii U, have or will be shifted to NX.

And personally... I have no problem with that, because of 2 reasons
1. I feel like I've already gotten my money's worth with the Wii U with all the great games that are already on it (NSMB.U, Pikmin 3, WWHD, 3D World, DKC: Tropical Freeze, Nintendo Land, Mario Kart 8, Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta 1 & 2, Super Smash Bros. Wii U, Captain Toad, Kirby, Splatoon) plus even more great games that are on the way (Yoshi, Xenoblade, Star Fox, Super Mario Maker, Zelda Wii U, SMTxFE). The Wii U has already built a good enough library, gaming wise to where it can be considered good.
2. If the NX is going to match the PS4 and Xbox One in terms of power, like some have speculated, than it NEEDS a strong launch in order to help it take off (the reason I say help it take off, is because there are other factors like, price, storage, and concept as stated earlier), because at that point, the 2 latter systems will have had 3-4 years on the market with great libraries built up to the point where they will have their peak years. So if the NX comes in with a launch similar to 3DS or Wii U, than it's going to die a horrible death, even worse than the Wii U. And I don't think anyone wants that, so it NEEDS to come out strong, all guns blazing.

Those are my thoughts on the matter of the transition from Wii U to NX. Care to give your 2 cents on the matter? Drop a comment, though I ask, please be respectful.
