Haha, cheers. Oddly some of the people I respect on here the most are ones I've argued with heaps, like you, Soundwave, and Zekkyou. 

Well you know what they say, its easy to agree, harder to disagree.

This year still isn't that bad even without Zelda.

This is the Wii's 2009 (it's equivalent year to the Wii U's 2015) in terms of new games:

New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Wii Sports Resort
Wii Fit Plus
Excitebots (NA Only)
Punch-Out!
Another Code (EU and JPN only)

Wii U (2015)

Kirby Rainbow Curse
Mario Party 10
Splatoon
Xenoblade X
Yoshi's Wooly World
Devil's Third
Mario Maker
Project: Giant Robot
Star Fox U

This is assuming nothing new is shown at E3 and pushed into the fall window (I suspect an Amiibo centric title is coming).



Like Miyamoto said, a delayed game will end up being good, while a rushed game will end up bad

Some games you missed...

Monster Hunter Tri

Metroid Prime Trilogy

Sonic and the Black Knight

Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olpymic Games

Silent Hill Shattered Memories



AT least those delays paid off (those games are (mostly) great).

Meh you Wii U kids got nothing on us N64 old fogies. We know the meaning of delays.

Truth. N64 was like a 5 year endurance test of patience. 

Seems like there have been a lot more delays overall this generation, though. I don't think Wii U's have even been that bad. 



It'll be awhile before I figure out how to do one of these. :P 

All I can say is Nintendo weren't ready for HD development.
