It makes me glad to see Nintendo supporting a system that's not doing well. I mean, imagine how 2016 will be like.

I am looking forward to E3 because I want to know for sure that Nintendo is going to support the Wii U after this year. I think after Zelda, they won't feel the need to anymore because fans already had a lot to play by then. I hope they continue it though, Wii U is slowly growing on me

I just don't see them supporting it for only 3 years. We've yet to see installments in many franchises that typically have at least 1 home console release per generation, like Metroid, Paper Mario, Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing, any Mario sports game, Pokemon spinoffs, etc. 

It's also a possibility for us to see entries in series like Kid Icarus, Eternal Darkness, WaveRace/F-Zero (both unlikely, but who knows?), etc. or new IPs. The Wii U still has a lot of untapped potential, and I think Nintendo knows that.

But Splatoon is inkcredible! Plus we've actually seen plenty of gameplay for it versus barely none for XCX. :L

I think controlling the game with just the stylus is pretty neat, I am a fan of Phantom Hourglass afterall! As for Devil's Third I've never played a Devil May Cry or Ninja Gaiden-like game before so I figure why not start with this one on Wii U!

I've been playing Smash n Kart! How bout you? xD

Splatoon would be my #1 if 4 player local play was confirmed but fir now it's a tie

You can control it with just the stylus? If that was in the ND, I watched it with no volume because I couldn't have the volume up at the time...

I have just gotten a PS now so I've never played DMC or NG either. I'll have to wait and see how D3rd turns out.

I've been playing Mario Kart as well, just bought Smash Bros a little bit ago, should be here in a few days

I'll be getting 3 games. Mario Party 10, Zelda U, and Star Fox. The rest will be on PS4

You're probably right, Nintendo will continue support in 2016. The system is still $300 after all, between price cuts and sales, a lot of potential is left. More importantly, the Wii U still has some juice left from a quality gaming standpoint

For me personally, the Wii U has the superior lineup this year. I'm not sure how I'm going to be able to afford all the games I want from the lineup. :

100% -
Splatoon
XCX
Zelda
Star Fox
Mario Kart 8 DLC 2
HyWa DLC
Metroid Prime: Trilogy

Possibly -
Yoshi (Depends on reviews)
Devil's Third (Depends on reviews)
Kirby (Depends on reviews and price)
Mario vs DK (If there is any money left after all that)

I have to say Wii U is being an incredible console for me so far, despite some flaws. It is also managing to halt my PS4 purchase a lot more than i thought. Initially i planned to get it by the end of 2015, but now i think i will wait a little more.

Eh I'm interested in two games, Zelda and Xenoblade Chronicles X, and that's good enough for me.

I believe Wii U will sell its most ever this year. A lot of the negative stigma surrounding the console is long gone so the people on the fence as well as new customers will pick it up for the new games and already released games.

Xenoblade alone will hold me down for a few months of gaming.
Then Splatoon online will last several months too.
Ill replay Mario Kart and Hyrule when the DLC hits.
Im hoping Devils Third is awesome, its multiplayer will last a long while as well.

Woah there friend! Let's not forget the only real system seller this year is Zelda which wont release til the holidays and still isn't as big as Smash or Kart.
