Impossible

They had not skipped it.. atleast not if you look at me.. :)  We just wait to the right time..

Only game so fare that is "system seller" for me is MK8..  (donkey. mario, and nintendoland looks fun.. but not enurf for me to "raise" the money..)

Splatoon are one of the games this year (mariomaker is an other) that offering some truly new.. and most important when you talk me and "casuals" not done/posible in last gen..

I would not be suprissed if theese two games.. are the ones, that gets casual/parents.. who has looked at wiiu and the games.. to finaly buy one.

Remember there are more than 200 mill missing from last gen still.. and alot of them are kids and parents,, who look at fun new experinces and games.. (and if there are any aditional price "pay for online" in this case)

So on topic..

Yes Spaltoon (and mariomaker) will get people more interestet in WiiU..  Tip them over.. and sell systems.. And they offcourse also knows they can buy the new... "insert nintendo AAA title of choice" .. how big of a "system seller" we offcourse has to see the comming month.. but that it will make WiiU even more unik and appealing.. is a fact..

For me... WiiU can still win this gen.. it all depends on the next month and year.. and offcourse the leg of PS4/One.. way to soon to predict sub GC sales.. IMO

it'll definitely sell some for sure but not by masive numbers, I think it'll do great numbers for what it is and I really hope NOA changes the marketing over time because jesus it's cringe worthy, NOJ looks like a godsend.

Well, they also believed that Wii U would be a system seller.

Well this thread is with regards to the UK. Whilst it's unfortunate that it's full price in the US (something I don't understand) I don't think that'd impact the success or failure of the title in the UK.

I know, I just can't let NOA go on this release ya know =P, the past few ads have driven the song to becoming a new meme now lol.

Chandra Nair? Im sure ive heard that name before. I think he used to write for the official Dreamcast magazine and ONM.

the game is so fun. but lack of vc will turn people off!!!

Great to be confident, but I doubt it will be a system seller especially to the extent they described
