Lets just think about what was shown at E3

Metroid BS

Star Fox

Mario Tennis

Zelda 3 Sword Adventures

Of those, only two were made by Nintendo, and none of the two was the only game that looks like time may have been spent on it (Star Fox U). So what the HELL has Nintendo and Monolith Soft been doing for the past year? Was every single freaking team working on Zelda U?.... What the fuck.

Kyoto EAD

Group #1-Mario Kart 8/DLC (May 2014/Nov 2014/April 2014)

Group #2-Splatoon/Happy Home Designer/Amiibo Festival (May 2015/July 2015/Fall 2015)

Group #3-Tri Force Heroes/Zelda U (Fall 2015/2016)

Group #4-Super Mario Maker (Sept 2015)

Group #5-Star Fox Zero (Fall 2015)

Tokyo EAD

Group #1-co developed Majora's Mask 3D (Feb 2015)

Group#2-Captain Toad (Nov 2014)

Monolith Soft-Xenoblade Chronicles X-April 2015

Retro Studios-Tropical Freeze (Feb 2014)

Most of these teams either just released or are about to release new games.

When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Exactly this. The current situation just seems like Wii in 2011, where not many first party games aside from Zelda were release due to most software teams focusing on the Wii U.

Wouldn't it be better to move Xenoblade to NX.

Fuck no. It's already out in Japan, and they're screwing Wii U owners badly enough as it is.

No, not really. but being caught off guard by metroid soccer was a huge surprise. That was awful. If you go into it with mediocre expectations, you'll really wonder what all this fuss is about

That seems beyond likely at this point. I don't understand how so many can't see that the launch of new hardware is imminent.
