No only an idiot expects a gaming company to make games completely different than what they have been making for the last 20 years.

Out of the huge list i gave you, what games of Nintendo's are missing besides a Metroid game.  
What were you honestly expecting Nintendo to make for thier Wii U that they did not make?

Are you one of the guys who keep hoping Nintendo somehow starts making MATURE first person shooters or something like that? The Wii U is delivering what anyone with any amount of common sense expected.  Great Nintendo games from franchises that have been around since the 80's.  If you don't like those games, why the hell did you buy a Wii U?


X release sooner not later given wiius sales failure and lack of games.

Metroid will full fill shooter needs, atleast some teaser and concept art.

Zelda the more mature looking demo showed great promise.

Pokemon rpg and or action fighting, hell anything pokemon would be refreshing from mario mario mario ohh yahh mario.

Maybe going back to some of their older ips like Starfox or Fzero maybe surpeise me with Wiiu kid icarus or Golden Sun U.

Ohh yahh maybe SOMETHING NEW, god forbid.

So you bought a $350 console on the random HOPES of what people have been dreaming about for years

1. X: everyone knew it wouldn't be till late 2014 at earliest when it was first shown, most likely 2015.  Sales could never change that.  It's not the type of game that you can rush.

2. Metroid is not the FPS people who diss Nintendo want.  They want a COD or Halo.  Some Multiplayer tweener game.  They somehow think that Nintendo could make a FPS that would be better than COD or Halo or whatever else, just cause its Nintenod and all their games are top notch.  It's Stupid.

3. Pokemon? Ha, never gonna happen and don't get why people never understand this.  There will never be a full pokemon rpg or mmo on consoles.  Quit dreaming

4. Zelda: artsyle, really?  Should have known you would want this when half your comments use the word Kiddy in them.  Grow up.

5. Oh yea and of course the begging for some game series that hasn't been touched in 15 years to be made again while at the same time getting pissed if it does by saying "make a NEW IP"    

But of course you guys ONLY care abou the Wii U.  Nintendo needs to put 100000% focus on Wii U.  God forbid they make 3DS games.  

They only have so many teams/developers.  They need to make games for BOTH the 3DS and Wii U.  They can't have a team making a Zelda, Mario, Kart, Donkey Kong, Metroid, Golden Sun, Pokemon, Kid Icarus, Smash, Pikman, Party, Star Fox, Kirby, Yoshi, ect.  The list of Nintendo IP's is staggering and you guys want them to be making a NEW one for the Wii U AND 3DS and announe them every year, yet at the same time are crying foul because they aren't making 'NEW' IP's.  

Now as to why the 3DS seems to be getting more support, 3DS games obviously don't take as long to make or as much manpower.  What you think takes longer to make( Link between worlds or the Zelda Wii U game?).  So they could make 2 3DS zelda games in the time it takes to make 1 Wii U Zelda.  Then he 3DS has 3rd party support to an extent, thus it gets games more often.  Anyone can see that and should understand that.   Just cause 3DS has more games coming out or in shorter intervals doesn't mean Nintendo using more resources on it.  

Now it all boils down to the one question:

Why did you buy a Wii U already?   

From what I've read you say, it sound liek common sense for you to sell your Wii U.  But i'm just curious as hell as to why you bought one in the first place?  Did you get your tax money back last year and just had a spur of the moment purchase or how the hell did you spend $350 +tax on a system that clearly is not your cup of tea.

After the Direct is this list still likely?

January: Wii Fit U (retail)
February: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
March: Wii Sports Baseball (digital)
April: Wii Sports Club (retail)
May: Mario Kart 8
June: Yarn Yoshi
July: Bayonetta 2
August: New IP from Miyamoto
September: Sonic Boom
October: Hyrule Warriors
November: Super Smash Bros. 4
December: X


If you think the list is too optimistic could these titles fill in the empty months and if so, which months?

Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem
Watch Dogs
Project CARS

Not commenting on what i think of your predictions, but have insight on another factore.

It's scary that bascially every game that the Wii U has going for it is 100% Nintendo game.  Bascially 0 3rd parties.

But in the same sense, how in the hell does someone who calls themselves a GAMER not have a Wii U?  Seriously if they don't get a Wii U, then they miss out on all of those games you listed plus the many games already out and for 2015 that are 100% EXCLUSIVE.

How a gamer can have a PS4 or One, or BOTH and not have a Wii U just baffles me.

I got a wiiu and i baffled my self why the hell i have it casue im not intrested in all the games ninty fans get all wet for.  Im debating selling it or will X be worth it and a new zelda come some time this gen.  Where is Metroid Zelda Pokemon RPG, out of all that only X is interesting. 

Actually owning all 3 consoles 2 are damn near useless right now and only PS4 is actually getting gamed on.  I see no reason why any real gamer as you say needs a wiiu or x1 right now, im just a tech fool and needed the shiniest new gadgets.... though useless they may be.

So its not baffling at all, most gamers are just not intrested in what ninty offers. 

So your saying it wasn't worth buying a Wii U

Pikman 3, Super Mario 3D World, Wonderful 101, Wind Waker HD, ZombiU, Lego City Undercover, New Super mario Bros U, Super Smash Bros, X, Bayonetta 2, Mario Kart 8, Dk Tropical Freeze, Hyrule Warriors, Sonic Boom, Sonic Lost Worlds, Yarn Yoshi, Mario & Sonic Olympic Games, New Super Luigi U, Zelda U, Wii Party U, Nintendo Land, Wii Sports HD, Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem.

Those are 23 some games that have been announced, released or shown.  If there isn't enough games on that list that you would like to play that are 100% exclusive then I'm not sure what you do to have fun.  But obvioulsy we have different tastes then cause I find playing at least half those games with friends to be something I would stay home from the bar to do on a friday night.

If ur not a fan of platformers and mini game collections than ur list is pretty much cut in half.
