I just showed proof I was expecting it to be replaced anytime in 2017, and you're clinging to.... Whatever it is you're clinging to. Lol.

No you have said on this board that you were expecting more Wii U support, including a Metroid game. So you're not going to admit that Nintendo ditched the Wii U for the NX?

For the record too, my position was this:

1.) Nintendo abandoned the Wii U because I have followed Nintendo for about 20+ years and what was happening the last 2 years without a single EAD-only project (everything was farmed out) was a tell-tale sign that Nintendo had backed off the system in favor of its next platform among several other obvious signs.

2.) Nintendo was aiming to release the NX in fall 2016, but a delay is always possible with Nintendo, the specific analogy I used several times was Nintendo is a company that would be late to its own funeral.

3.) Wii U as a result will not have a traditional 5 year cycle. I also (correctly) stated in Animal Crossing threads that there would be no "real" Animal Crossing game for the Wii U. Nintendo would not waste a big IP on a platform they've internally given up on.

To say that Nintendo planned it this way is also absurd, they obviously wanted NX for fall 2016, if they didn't they wouldn't have left the Wii U with its pants down and only 1 game for the entire second half of the year. Nintendo has never had a primary console with a holiday line up this weak.

To fill in for the holiday 2016 slot. 

And it depends on "ditch the Wii U", it will probably still get Bloodstained and Zelda U, maybe something unnannounced.
