People, pls. Nintendo reveled last october the delay of DK. Not because wan't ready, but because we would not have any games to play till Mario kart 8. In fact, i believe that MK8 was actually ready for some time(maybe march), but they problably don't have anything till september

So, yeah, they will delay one of then. Bayonetta come out in summer on japan, and we all now how much time the localisation can take. You can all bet on this: X or Hyrule Warrior or Bayonetta 2 will be delayed for 2015 Q1. Maybe even 2 of then. Another certain bet: after MK8, the next exclusive will come out in september onwards. Maybe ubisoft release wacth dogs in august, but thats about it, be assured.

I know it's only trailers this applies to, but so far all of them have been translated and voiced over in English, so it couldn't take that long (considering it's still in development).

Like I said, the problem with the amount of upcoming Wii U games isn't necessarily that people want to play more games in a given year, but it's that they want to have a bigger choice in what they play. For someone that doesn't have a particular interest in Nintendo titles, there really isn't much reason to get a Wii U because it gets hardly anything outside of Nintendo titles.

This is a fair point, but those that really want to expand their total number of choices would be multiconsole owners, don't you think? It strikes me that a Sony or Microsoft or Nintendo only player isn't really interested in diversity per se; he/she is interested in the console manufacturer's brand of diversity.

Someone that is interested in total freedom of choice and is in the right financial situation will of course get all consoles, but most people don't have that freedom. So people try to satisfy their goal of getting the most diverse library/the biggest library as best as they can with the financial measures they have and that for a lot of people means getting only one system. Now someone that isn't into MS or Sony exclusives could still find alot of reasons to get an X1 or PS4 since they both get pretty much every third party game, which offers a ton of diversity, on the Wii U on the other hand that really isn't the case.

The lack of Sonic Boom in that list upsets me!

I guess I just don't find that line of reasoning convincing. If you're a fan of Halo, for example, Halo 5 might be worth a dozen Uncharteds. Or, if you're a God of War buff, you might be willing to trade all of Nintendo's first party content for a GOW sequel. I'm just not buying the line that people are buying X or Y console because the library is so big and diverse. According to this site, the highest tie-ratio of all time is 11 games. Most people buy a console because of a few games that look good to them, end up buying 8 or 10 games, and move on with their lives.

Because Hyrule Warriors is going to be SUCH a great game, right?

We all need to shut our brain off for hours at a time once in a while, and Cartoon Network marathons only go so long.

If that's really all that's left for 2014 then that's just sad, not in quality necessarily but in quantity.


If you need more than 8 console games a year then you are very sad.


What is pretty sad is you thinking that. Not everyone is a blind consumer that snap up every game Nintendo puts out on the Wii U. People want options, they want choices. Having to choose between eight games in a year is beyond sad when a console is deep into its second year. Looking at DK:TF sales Wii U owners now are left with seven.

The sales don't lie and to me it is looking more and more like the general consumer have largely lost interest in Nintendo home console games, no matter how great they are. 

You are very lucky to be totally orgasmic over having eight games (or whatever) in 2014. For many Wii U owners that don't care for DK, Bayonetta or Hyrule it is indeed sad. 

At least I have Project Cars and Watchdogs.. and X but I rather have a choice of much more than eight. 

Eight games in one year is NOT a great marketing tool if you want to sell consoles.


But to most people 8 or so games is what entirely makes up their decision to buy a console or not.

There's problems in Nintendo's perception that need to be overcome.

People really want the Wii U. They want 'adult' titles like X and Bayonetta 2, but they know nothing about them. They want a new Mario, but they're stuck on this false belief that Mario is only for 8-year olds. However they don't know about Super Mario 3D World and how good it really is. They know nothing of the other games that make solid appearances on the system.

Instead, people know nothing about the Wii U. And what little they do know is from clickbait, trolling articles and web posts that do nothing but decimate the console with gloomy sales figures, lies, and half-truths.

Yes, eight or so games can make the call in ones decision to buy a console or not. But that is usually eight games out of many in one year.

The two newer consoles are in their infancy but in their second year the games will flourish. Selecting eight games from a multitude should not be a problem. Selecting eight from eight as seems to be the case here is a totally different situation. Contrary to popular belief not everyone cares for DK, SSB, Hyrule etc .,

I do agree with you on the general perception of the Wii u to the public but to say people really want the wii u is proven false by its pathetic sales. Everything points to very few wanting the Wii u.

The very blame for many thinking the Wii u is a kiddie console lies with Nintendo themselves. Visit any Nintendo site (official or otherwise) and you are bombarded with cartoony, childish characters.

Don't get me wrong, I happen to like some of these cartoony games but I cannot blame anyone for thinking Wii u kiddie when every ad on TV have the kiddie element and games like Bayonetta come along like Halley's Comet.
