No, not really. The WiiU has failed and they have begun taking the necessary steps to move on from it. Having Zelda (this particular one at that) as a launch title for the NX is probably the best decision they could have made for it. I don't mind waiting a bit longer and I was planning on getting this for NX anyway even though I have a WiiU because I want the best version available.

Also a Zelda focused E3? I can't wait!

It's kinda like coming home and finding your dog has shit on the carpet again, and he shits on the carpet every couple of days.

At some point it becomes just disappointment because you almost expect it, but you can't really get too mad at your dog because he's too cute.

Unfortunately this was a rather smelly and wet poop of news, lol.

Not really.

At least not because of last night.

hard not to be a little disappointed in Nintendo, their support for the Wii U for 2015 and likely 2016 will have been quite disappointing software wise. If they last minute announced "the NX is about to come out!" then at least maybe you could argue for the Wii U getting the shaft.

On one hand I don't blame them, why spend resources on a system that nets them hardly any profits. on the other hand, Nintendo is known for supporting their consoles no matter what and publicly have said again and again that they would continue supporting the Wii U when that has been happening very limitedly. sure, more than Sony/Vita levels, but eh.

they've done much better with the 3DS obviously, with releases games and content, but I do feel like Nintendo at this point potentially did almost nothing in 2015 and now will be doing little in 2016. releasing a few good Fire Emblem and Pokemon sort of games is just not enough content for that amount of time, sorry.

I guess what bothers me is Nintendo's seemingly lackadaisical approach about all of this. they HAVE money. they have the ability to build more software teams, or at least expand some. dramatically really. They could easily build the infrastructure to allow for more software creation. Much smaller game companies like Ubisoft have MORE employees than they do. Its just bizarre. So I guess my frustration stems from the fact that Nintendo could easily produce more content if they wanted to. They just have given up on the Wii U practically. I am even fairly certain at this point that a number of games originally intended for the Wii U have been pushed back and are being translated to whatever the NX is. Only explanation for so many game droughts

but yeah, Nintendo is not a company in a position to use the "games take too long to develop" excuse for limited game releases. They have the money and ability to build more teams. They don't need to outsource things like Star Fox to Platinum or whatever. They don't need to only focus on a few games at a time. They could easily buy a few smaller strong development companies, but nopeeee, stubborn.

We'll see if this changes, but for the time being Nintendo doesn't seem particularly interested in changing some of their ways. Historically I LIKE Nintendo's ways, but they certainly have gone astray in the last 5 years. The trick isn't always to change up gimmicks for hardware, I think the trick is to adjust as a company according to the market. If you need to hire more employees or change the structure of your company a little bit in terms of development teams, then do it.

Funny how my friend and me entertained the possibility of Zelda delaying till 2017 just yesterday...

I would say that I feel empty rather than disappointed - I understood all their decisions EXCEPT the absence of NX at E3. There goes 40% of my E3 hype.

==========================================================

Even with what we have right now, it is still interesting to see what Nintendo will do for their E3 stream.

Nope & unlike others, I don't mind the 2015 / 2016 line-up. I have many previous Wii U games I'm still playing & have a PS4.

I'll be fine waiting for the NX. To be completely honest tho, I'd also be fine if Nintendo never released another game. It would suck but I'd just find something else to do with the time..

I'm not even angry any more. 

I'm just tired. Tired of droughts. Tired of delays. Tired of radio silence. Tired of lazy, safe, conservative games. Tired of Nintendo.

After 22 years I think it's time for a divorce.

Maybe you just need one long (final?) talk before going that route?

i'm a little annoyed. According to my own scale of what makes a successful console, this console was a failure and it has everything to do with software support. My indicator, if your curious, is as follows; your console must supply an average of 5 new-worth-while games a year for a minimum of 5 years. totals out to 20 "keepers". It's completely subjective, but, for me, it looks like they are going to end up with between 10-15. .... yeah, i'm gonna list'em.

1. pikmin 3
2. new super mario u
3. mario 3d
4. bayo 2
5. hyrule warriors
6. mario kart
7. smash
8. splatoon
9. mario maker
10.xenoblade chronicles
11. star fox 0
12. wonderful 101
13. tokyo mirage (presumably)

no, i didn't forget yoshi, dkctp, kirby, or fatal frame. Wasn't a fan/don't do digital. I'm on the fence about color splash and i'm getting zelda on the nx. So baring some awesome 7 game extravaganza, this system was not up to par. Hoping the nx can do much better.
Now getting back to the point, i say i'm only a little annoyed because some of these games were just that good. Possbly my fav mario kart, def my fav smash (cept for dlc characters), bayo 2 w101, and pikmin are fantastic and so full of character.
On an aside, my best friend heard the news and is furious. He just got a wii-u and just heard the news. He also thought the system was only out for a year. lol. But he too is really annoyed with the lack of great games on the console.

That's fair enough to be honest. Nintendo's done a lot of stupid shit the last five years (well to be honest really last 20 years I guess; since the SNES its a been a bit of a long haul of dumb decisions), it's not a company for everyone. They test your patience to the nth degree and continually makes bizarre decisions constantly.

It basically just boils down to whether or not you like their games enough to put up with the headache that comes with it.
