Iwata to investors: We don't want to make from 3DS the Mario machine.
*proceeds in ND to announce more Mario games*

Very dissapointed from you Iwata, very very dissapointed.

It's more than that now, it's Mario AND Luigi.

hehe

So they announce a DKC game for 3DS?! Good! Wait... it's a port from the one on Wii...

A new game for Wii U?! Awesome! Wait...just DLC for NSMBU but now Luigi courses...

Mario, Mario and more Mario for 3DS...

I don't know if I'm more upset because the ND or because my realistic expectations were not even matched.

I think anyone expecting major WiiU news missed the part that the NA conference was the only one advertising WiiU as part of the show. It was highly unlikely they were going to announce anything major in one region but not the others.

It's called setting yourself up for disappointment.

Nintendo need to stop pretending everything is okay with the Wii U, it's not.
The first step towards dealing with a problem is acknowledging it. By pretending nothing is wrong, they're not doing anything to improve matters, and Wii U owners are being left to starve.

They have acknowledged the problem in the last Direct and their message was clear: They sacrifice the rest of this fiscal year to have a better start into the next one. You shouldn't be surprised that there's nothing coming before Monster Hunter Tri Ultimate.

Additionally, it's not like they can release games instantly when there is a drought. What did you expect? Super Mario Galaxy 3 by the end of this month?

They should have seen the drought coming long ago.

"Hey, guys, we've got bugger all Wii U games set up for the first half of 2013!"

"Oh, just leave it to rot and use that spare adrenaline shot on our portable that's already thriving!"

"Shouldn't we at least show some trailers of some of the Wii U games we have in production so Wii U owners have something to look forward to?"

"Nah, let's pander entirely to the 3DS fanbase, that portable is clearly struggling and needs help!"

Another solid Nintendo Direct. Really pushed the 3DS into the stratosphere this year. ^_^

Since I lost my 3DS earlier this year, I might take advantage of that 3DS promotion when Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon arrives. No reason not to. Gotta start saving up... @_@

I would get a Fire Emblem XL, if I not alreadywould own one.

When this first popped up on Nintendo's site, it said it was a 3DS Nintendo Direct. It then changed to say WiiU as well, so I was expecting a lot of 3DS stuff with a few WiiU items thrown in, but nothing major on that front. Pretty much what I expected. Luigi DLC for NSMBU looks good. I really need to get a 3DS one of these days!

It is more a dissapointment that a "launch window" for Nintendo means like 1 year.

*sigh*

So because the Wii U is struggling they should just ignore the 3DS and the games coming for it? How will that make anything better?
