Yaaaaaay
I've stopped arguing on this or other forums. In recent years, I used to say: "guys, if they don't even announce any big titles by now, when are we supposed to get them? There's only so much time left in Wii U's lifespan, AAA games take this long to develop... there can't be anything more coming." And people would scream and downvote and be delusional. Now at E3 Nintendo has confirmed exactly that - they're releasing a handful of second tier games so the few who bought Wii U aren't too mad at them, and that's it. Any big IP you were waiting for is in development for the next system: 3D Metroid, 3D Mario, console Paper Mario, even Zelda, crazy stuff like F-Zero, new Mother, console Pokemon or Animal Crossing. You name it. From Nintendo's perspective any of these would be wasted on Wii U.
This is coming from a Nintendo only gamer - Wii U is the only current system I own.
So how was Wii U? I love MK8. SM3DW was competent, but worse than Galaxy. NSMBU was too much of the same. Kirby, Yoshi and Donkey Kong are alright, but feeling increasingly formulaic (mostly not made by Nintendo's A teams). Pikmin, Bayonetta, Splatoon and Smash are supposedly awesome, just not my taste. Oh Toad was nice, but hardly a big game.
Let's hope the next system starts with an incredible lineup. And Nintendo should spend money on at least one stunning third party exclusive, I'm thinking Final Fantasy or Chrono Trigger or the likes.
