No, he's full of shit. Wii U is dead. And NX will most certainly be replacing it.
As for satisfied? I would have been, if Zelda had been delievered as promised. At this point, they might as well just cancel the Wii U version. There is zero point in pulling this TP shit again, especially when NX is almost guaranteed to have a strong launch window from Nintendo themselves, WITHOUT tacking on a port of a Wii U game.
Without Zelda, no, I would have to say I am not a satisfied Wii U owner on the whole. I have gotten enjoyment out of it, but it's had too many good games that COULD have been great if they hadn't changed or needlessly taken out/watered down certain elements (Pikmin/Mario Kart/Smash Bros). It's had many decent, fun games, but IMO nothing amazing. Nothing that I can point to and say "THIS, THIS is the reason to own this console."
I feel Zelda should have been that. Instead, they'd rather pretend it's an NX launch game, and leave long-time Wii U owners like myself with foreseeably nothing of substance for the remainder of 2016. I honestly have to wonder, since "satisfing Wii U owners" were originally Iwata's words, if he were still alive, would he have signed off and this course of action? I'd like to think not.
I like Nintendo, but this bitter taste in my mouth is going to remain.
