One of Mr Iwatas statemants before he died was that satisfying Wii U owners was a big priority for Nintendo. Im sure he also said something along the lines of still making games for Wii U/3DS because thay have install base, whilst NX will start with zero. Of course this could all change now Mr Iwata is no longer with us :(


Nintendo says a lot of stuff. This could just be PR.

And the diehard Wii U fans are already satisified anyway.

You have the only post out of ten so far that gives me hope and that I accept. Thank you!

Read this article Spurge, hopefully Nintendo continue with Mr Iwatas vision.

Im more than satisfied with my Wii U, and I think there is still more to come. Im sure there are unnanounced Wii U games already in development.

There's a big difference between "support" and "meaningful releases" too. Nintendo I doubt is going to put a "big" game on the Wii U exclusively. Quite honestly Mario Maker and Star Fox Zero may be the final "big" Wii U only releases because I don't think Zelda U is staying put.

No, I very strongly doubt it.

I doubt Nintendo would release a big IP for Wii U. But I am one of those who think NX is for holiday 2017 not 2016.

I think we might see some cross gen games, especially with smaller games (Captain Toad, for example) and some e-Shop games.
Other than that, i don't big or exclusive titles, for that matter, coming out on Wii U. Nintendo will be more than interested in pushing NX as much as they can so it doesn't go Wii U's way.

I'm more worried about 2016

Yes I do. I think that it will end up with a couple actually. Mainly because NX will end up being Backwards Compatible with Wii U games.
