Sorry, iPad went nuts!

I wouldn't say that the entire back catalogue is worth it, but yes, a couple of previously released titles have been wonderful. Alas after you've played those there doesn't seem to be much on the horizon, especially for core franchises.

The Wii U has yet to have a Metroid, Punch-Out, Animal Crossing, Waverace, F-Zero, Pilotwings etc. I'm tempted to add Zelda to that list but we live in hope! So while it's ok to say that there won't be yearly releases of core franchises, look how they've released so many Mario Karts or Pokemon in relation to others. Some franchises seem to be milked while others are woefully forgotten. Hence me saying it would be nice to get some releases. Fingers crossed, Nintendo may surprise us during the Wii U's final year (2016 I imagine) but I'm not holding my breath.

The Wii U didn't get a new F-Zero, Metroid, Animal Crossing, Waverace, Punch Out etc. Heck I'm half tempted to add Zelda to the list but we live in hope. So yeah, it's nice that Nintendo aren't focussed on annual releases of their core franchises but some have been woefully forgotten. Look at the amount of Mario Kart games compared to F-Zero for example, yet both debuted on the SNES.

No, I really don't think that the Wii U has tons of games coming out, that's not nuts but being realistic.

In all fairness I like how Nintendo does DLC though it would be nice if they used it for more gamers other than just MK, Splatoon and SB. They know how it works but it just needs to be implemented into more titles.

Yearly sequels of core franchises? We should be so lucky, releases period would be nice.

Ha! That was fun! This is the sort of fandom that Nintendo should be promoting!

While I often dislike most indie titles (a lot of them look and feel so similar) there are quite a few good titles in this line up.
