Its pretty much what I expected.

Nintendo had nothing to show last year so they pretty much showed us their entire 2015 lineup. And a lack of 3rd party support means there will be a serious drought during the 1st half of the year with the one game a month thing happening in the 2nd half(if we're lucky).

Those of you who thought we were going to see big games must want them to embarrass themselves again at E3 or are delusional.

you mean 2014 and i doubt this is all of it. it's febuary for crying out loud

And they have virtually nothing from Donkey Kong to Mario Kart, which lasts 3 months. And summers are always pretty bad with game releases.

If they're showing us games way ahead of time like Smash Bros, X, Bayonetta, and Yarn Yoshi, what are the chances we'll see much outside of those 4 (if we even see all of those this year. The lack of a release date on X and a no-show by Yarn Yoshi make it look pretty unlikely)?

Funny. I didn't realize GBA and Remix 2 was "virtually nothing". Maybe "virtually nothing for moomoo"

Sorry, it's just hard for me to get hyped for an overpriced ROM-Hack with no online leaderboards and a bunch of games I already own (on a system that isn't even portable, no less).

Don't get me wrong, I'm not selling my Wii U. I'll buy and enjoy Mario Kart, Smash Bros and X. But unless if you love every game genre on the planet, you're going to see the effects of a major drought.

Also, virtually doesn't mean completely. It means, almost, nearly, etc. Which is exactly what NES Remix 2 and GBA games constitute as.

I feel the same way.
And I'm looking forward to GBA games but the rate that they put out notable VC titles so far means there's really nothing to get hyped for. Iwata claimed they overcame some VC hurdles so we'll have to wait and see.

Four more months until Bayonetta 2.

Perhaps every disagreement on this site should stick to Sega vs Nintendo. At least they are fun and about 2 legendary consoles that at the end everyone can at least agree they were awesome. Lol plus @MAB and I could flood them with Sega love.

Many of us believe that is has something to do with the FX Chip that was used whether due to a proprietary or a compatibility thing because no FX Chip game has been re-released.

Smash Bros., Bayonetta 2, and possibly X are the only reasons you should own this console. Wanting anything more will disappoint you.
Maybe DKC: tropical Freeze.

Implying there aren't any other games on the Wii U and these are the only games it will ever get.

Seriously, the PS4 and One aren't showing any reasons to upgrade from PS3 or 360. It's going to be the 7th generation all over again with a different brown and gray coat of paint.

I own a PS1, GBA, GBA SP, Wii (GCN), 360, 3DS, PC (Laptop), Wii U, and PS4.

Don't forget the insane love you'll see for the Dreamcast.
Which, by the way, is seeing a new game released in 4 days. Yes, it's another shooter, but hey, more reasons to play Dreamcast.

Yeah I know why they are doing it but I still feel disappointed as I want to playthrough the game with my little cus and really want to play the snes version that I no longer own.

I was being sarcastic, because somehow my positive predictions are out of line in comparison to negative predictions. It's ironic.

It's not 'positive' vs 'negative'. It's 'outlandish' vs 'realistic'.

You make it sound like Mario Kart 8 won't sell copies or consoles like MKWii did. I think Mario Kart 8 will basically be on everyone's console, and will sell consoles. I admit that my 3 million prediction wasn't exactly what I think, but if MK8 did sell even 1 million Wii Us, it would be a big deal.

Then why not say a more believable/logical 1 million (even 2/3rds of that is a reasonable prediction), then go full on illogical fanboy and say it will sell 3 million Wii-U consoles in a month? Could have saved us from having this discussion.

It's still wonderful how much support the Dreamcast still gets. Be a sad day when it truly starts to dry up.

I was exaggerating so that all the "doom masters" would get the idea that things aren't final until we actually see. I admit that it could go either way, but a positive opinion is widely more accepted than a negative one.

"Oh, MK8 will only sell like 10 copies, Wii U is doomed"

People are ridiculous like that.

EDIT: In otherwords: positively unrealistic vs. negatively unrealistic. If you think I'm a fanboy, then you're a "doom master".

TOTALLY excited to play Superstar Saga again on the big screen. Also: Little Mac looks ridiculously fun to play as, Mario Kart 8 will be a ton of fun, and X looks pretty darn good too. I'm pleased with everything on the horizon, but that said, I'm definitely glad that the Wii U isn't the only thing I'm relying on for gaming right now. (Vita <3 <3 <3)

OBVIOUSLY there are going to be must have titles on all of the 8th generation consoles later down the line, but comments like this make my blood boil when people get either the PS4 or One and claim the Wii U has nothing going for it.

One of my hallmates got CoD Ghosts for his 360 on launch day. Just a couple days back, he bought a One and with it... CoD Ghosts. However, he doesn't play it because his friends only have it on the 360... BUT getting the One is considered a more viable option even if the games people want are available on the previous system.

I own a PS1, GBA, GBA SP, Wii (GCN), 360, 3DS, PC (Laptop), Wii U, and PS4.

The difference is future 3rd party support and developer/publisher enthusiasm.

If you don't like Nintendo games, and you don't like its current line-up, you have no reason to buy a Wii U. Nearly every indie game will also be on other platforms.

You make it sound like a bad thing. Err, well it is sales wise.
I'm perfectly happy if Bayonetta and Smash with an awesome roster is all this system gets. but Nintendo probably has SOMETHINGS saved for the E3.
Also it should be known by now I really hate the Wii U. I'm surprised how many people take my comments seriously. Go play Bayonetta guys.

@kyuubikid213 If that's what he likes to play then what's wrong with it? Let people enjoy the games they do. Got the new console and wants the game he likes to play with it. Nothing wrong there.

The VC update would have been enough for me if I cared about GBA on the Wii U VC at all. I would have even been happy if it was the GBA VC was out now and it was launching with Advance Wars. As it is I don't particularly care much about games I won't buy a few months from now.

That said the Smash and Kart announcements for new characters were both great. The trailer for DK looks as good as it has always and Yoshi's New Island is looking decent. Child of Light looked pretty damn good, I might get that, it also happened to be a Ubisoft game that's an RPG that also uses the GamePad. Ending all of the whine threads at once. Then there was that Pokemon puzzle game thing which also looked good.

Slightly disappointed that there's nothing much for Wii U before E3 outside of Kart, DK and some indie stuffs. Also slightly disappointed they didn't tease anything new for Wii U from the other side of E3 like they did early last year. Still, overall, 8/10. Wii U 7/10.

Not bad. Not bad at all.

Little Mac stole the show for the first minutes. And more Bayo 2 is goodness.
