Summery Of Article — Nintendo president Satoru Iwata says that the Wii isn’t going anywhere yet despite only managing to shift 9.2 million units since launch in 2012. Iwata told Japanese news publication Sankei that there are many more unannounced titles in development for the platform. So yeah, the Wii U isn’t going anywhere. Hopefully we will see some of these unannounced games at E3 in Los Angeles this June.
Quote from Iwata — “Wii U is not over yet. I want to continue to build on playing on people’s high expectations [for the system].”
I hope every major gaming site posts this line ("Wii U is not over yet"). There's people thinking that the Wii U life is almost over and that can just lead to less sales
The existence of unannounced Wii U projects is obviously not a surprise to anyone, but it still makes me all giddy to see the words coming from Iwata himself.
Anyway, it's pretty obvious that there are some unannounced games left, there's still some IPs that haven't had a Wii U release. Animal Crossing, Paper Mario, Metroid, and a main series Kirby to be specific. I'd expect to see all of those appear in some form before Wii U goes the way of the dodo.

It's a sequel to a DS spinoff, you can practically feel that they're just throwing Kirby fans a bone while they work on the main event (which like usual, is probably going to be one of the last games we see). Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's pretty much an appetizer game, we should be getting more than that.
I'd kinda assumed this was their position after last year's E3. They clearly injected a lot of money and effort into getting the Wii U back on track (which they certainly have done in terms of the games, though obviously not quite in terms of the install base) They probably wouldn't have bothered if they were planning on ditching it after a 4-5 year life.
They would've just gone with the Vita approach instead.
This is why I have so much more respect for Nintendo as a company than Sony. When a system is doing relatively poor on the market they don't kick it to the curb and stop supporting it and instead they keep developing great games for it, and that is despite already having a much more successful handheld console already on the market. Many people like the Vita but I think few would argue that Sony should have supported it a heck of alot more than it did. You know it's bad when they flat out state that they won't be developing any more AAA games for it.

You know, I could agree with you, but... I could read/understand that wrong, to me it looks like you think that Sony has that attitude all the time, which from the perspective of time, except Vita, looks little wrong. I can't blame them for Vita - thankfully, they at least admitted it is a disaster. PSP wasn't stuff of legends, but at least it has a lot more games worth having it. They clearly miscalculated Vita and that's why it failed hard.
Me hopes for Fatal Frame 5 outside of Japan... which probably won't happen like the 4th one.

Kirby's Dream Course and Kirby Air Ride are spin-off titles. Rainbow Curse is just a little different from what you're used to. Just as how Epic Yarn was different, or 64 to an extent. Kirby is an extremely flexible franchise, but all their platformers are structured in a similar way.
