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

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.

It's simple. Nintendo games just do not appeal to everyone. The truth is many people, including kids, consider the console "kiddie".

While I strongly disagree with this and love Nintendo games I can easily see from the other side of the fence.

To each their own. You, I and many others will carry on enjoying Nintendo. As was the case with the GameCube, the overwhelming majority won't.

It is what it is.

As for Reggie, he was talking out his backside. Anyone with an omce of intelligence could see where 2014 was heading.

Not worth it, and ninty is doing nothing to get me hyped for the future.

True different tastes, but sales show your tastes are the minority. 

Honestly imo that list is a lot of rehashes and kiddy games, i care not for mario and the two most interesting games X and Zelda are far away and hell Zelda is not even officaly announced.  If you think that list will convince any gamers to buy a U you are sadly mistaken.

Baffled why you would buy a Wii U in the first place.

What were you expecting on the Wii U besides what I listed?

3rd parties you can get one every other single console?  No one would buy a Wii U for 3rd party non-exclusive games.  So you must just be an idiot consumer for buying a Wii U if none of those games but 2 are to your liking.

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.



Im a bit puzzzled at Nintendo. It looks like they will repeat last years mistake. Really, a band aid of releasing rare wii games on the eshop would be enough to soften the blow...
Not that ps4 and x1 have better lineups, but this was a great opportunity to gain traction.
