Given the descisions made at Nintendo RED. They gave us quite a lot for the Wii U. You know the board of directors has quite a lot to say at Nintendo. Reggie, Miyamoto and Iwata aren't all powerful.

If you want things changed at Nintendo your way. Buy stock and get ignored because Japanese companies don't give a sh*t about their shareholders.

It's somewhat criminal that Nintendo left out three of it's most diverse and interesting 2015 exclusives (Fatal Frame, Fast Racing Neo, and Devil's Third) during a presentation of it's 2015 releases... greatly criminal, now that I think of it. 

EDIT: the inclusion of those titles wouldn't have saved the conference, but it would have softened the blow significantly. 

First, it wasn't a bit underwhelming. It was very, very, VERY, VERY EXTREMELY underwhelming.

Now onto the actual point. I always defended the idea that the NX was a far in the future thing that would only be released in 2017, but I am now concerned and believe Nintendo are indeed giving up on the Wii U. There are reasons to believe that.

"They limited the event to games coming out this year" that's why. Look back down the years... Last year we saw Zelda Wii U, Xenoblade X, Yoshi's Woolly World, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Splatoon, Mario Party 10 and got the announcement of Star Fox Zero. That's three 1st half 2015 games, three 2nd half 2015 games, and one 2016 game. Look at E3 2013... they were talking about Mario Kart 8 (2014 1st half), Super Smash Bros. (2014 2nd half), Xenoblade X (2015), etc... see the trend? Why would they suddenly stop talking about stuff coming out in the following year? It just screams giving up on the console.

And then they go saying they're not developing Metroid and if they were to make one it would probably be coming to the NX... and well, they simply decide to not show Zelda Wii U because it gets delayed to after their "early next year" deadline, despite it being an obviously much better ending to the show than several people playing the Mario theme. It really, REALLY looks like they're just about to give up on the Wii U and aren't telling us because they want to squeeze another 12 months of sales before they release the NX.

I hope I'm wrong, but you can't be so sure they're not doing this.

I used to say the same stuff a couple of days ago, but now it's really hard to believe that. I hope you're right though, I really do.

Yoshi, Star Fox, Xenoblade, and Super Mario Maker are good games that are coming out this year. and they have Zelda coming out next year. Those are all new big games. what would they have to announce for you to not think they are "giving up" on it?

i guess it is odd that their e3 direct didnt have any 2016 games. maybe i thought it was normal for them to focus on 2015 because that kind of stuff has happened in the past with directs. "this direct is only focusing on 3ds" or "this direct is only focusing on games coming out this year." 

ill tell you one thing though, they are DEFINITELY not pulling a twilight princess with this new Zelda game. no way in hell.
