You quoted me, quoting someone else, who said Nintendo announces games way early before release and he used Zelda as an example. My arguement was Zelda hasn't been announced and is no different then Uncharted (before VGA Awards in 2013) or Halo (before E3 2013). We knew they were in development, but nothing has been announced.

lol

And, "Gonna spend money on other consoles."

Isn't Mario Kart in May? That's...only three and a half months...

._.

Yeah, this is getting pretty ridiculous. I can understand to an extent a post launch drought, as any game that can be ready by launch time will be ready in order to sell the console, but having this in the second year is ridiculous. Quite glad I have a PC to go along with a Wii U.

You understand nothing, the nintendo strategy is too much complex for our simples human brains.

They don't care because I think most of them are past caring. It is very insular thinking but this is natural in this circumstance. Let's look at the less selfish point of view instead of the "me me me" or "I don't care". Let's, as you pointed out, look at the desperately needed potential customers reasoning.

Most true Nintendo fans (I count myself here) will care because this isn't helping the Wii U's situation. That backlog of games so many people are proud of owning isn't doing shit for the console's sales. The console is selling like crap because not many people care about the backlog or the current library.

Nintendo has said over and over again that software sells hardware. So were is the software?? DKC:TF will not set the world alight. I do not see many Europeans buying a Wii U for it and it comes out the day PS4 launches in Japan - I think. It will be lost there in the PS4 hype like SM3DW was in Europe (mainly UK). That leaves until May for what is it's main system seller.

So, as you pointed out, while many fans don't care because they have games to play, the company suffers financially because no one is buying the console. The potential customers, who should be prioritised, do care.

BTW, I don't know what the "drought" of the PS4 has to do with this. The PS4 is new and selling like hotcakes. The Wii U is over a year old and selling like crap.

Exactly what is there to be compared? The PS4 at this moment doesn't need games to sell it. The Wii U sure as hell does.

Good. I need droughts like that to get around to playing my crazy backlog of games.

Pissed off, particularly now that they have conversion software that makes games like Wind Waker HD able to be developed in a matter of months.

They really should have had a few more classic GameCube games given the same treatment ready to release between now and June - Paper Mario TYD, F-Zero and Eternal Darkness would all have been ideal.

Not only that, but they could make this conversion software available to third parties so that they can do the same with low cost and low risk software for the Wii U.

Nintendo: "We lied, we're showing vaporware as well."

OT: "I still need Pikmin 3 and Wind Waker HD. But that MK, though!" And then I went into a deep depression because my life can only go on if Nintendo does well, and they definitely won't with a release schedule like this.

I also have a massive backlog of 2013 games, but it's bad for the console's situation. It will probably go down to 20k again globally in april.

Nintendo usually releases 3-4 big games per year, so Nintendo's offerings in 2014 are pretty normal, but the situation with 3rd party games is pretty bad.
