Has there ever been a worse time to be a Nintendo fan?

Wii's 2012 was dog poop, but kinda expected as the 3DS was the focus and Wii U also launched that year.

2011 was OK mostly on the strength of three games -- Zelda: Skyward Sword, Xenoblade, and Kirby.

This year looks worse because the second half of the year is almost completely barren, but that's largely because NX was likely supposed to launch in November.

I don't think Nintendo intended for it to work out this way, if the NX was slated for March 2017 from the get go (which is a stupid date to purposely target in the first place), they surely would have made some provisions for some better software for Wii U holiday 2016 and avoid this embarrassing E3 as well.

And in the first place they would have not promised 2016 for Zelda. This is as you suggest a last minute delay. Wonder if 3 months is enough to fix the problems. Thinking about it, Zelda is just 2017 and considering I don't believe Nintendo anymore, they could delay NX to holiday 2017.
