@OneBagTravel I could list the reasons why the releases for the VC are slow and/or nonexistent but I don't feel like it now.A short answer:email/call third parties and tell them to put their games on the VC.
I'm sick of the negativity and outrage.People do need to calm down.I'm quitting video game websites for a few months .I pre ordered Super Pokemon Mystery Dungeon ,and am currently deciding between Starfox Zero and Woolly World. I'm only looking at the official Nintendo website and MyNintendoNews.(Not the comment section) Things will be better in a few months.See you in late July/August!
A lot of good games this year,more than last year. The reaction was mostly that there was not enough new things announced at E3. A big amount of this was announced in a direct. So many games,so little time!
I calmed down and saw that there were plenty of Nintendo games releasing this year and early next.They said the this E3 was about this year and early 2016.The reactions to this make me ashamed to be a Nintendo fan...sigh.At lease when everyone cools down in a few months we can all look at the reactions and laugh.
@Yorumi I'd say that less than 2% would buy an Xbone,including me if I could buy another console.This E3 did make me regret my Wii U purchase for the first time though.I have calmed down a little bit.I realized that there are good Wii U games coming now,but not enough for me to recommend anyone but hard core Nintendo fans to purchase it.The 3DS did well though.I do recommend people to buy a New Nintendo 3DS XL.My plan for next generation is to wait for a year and buy their next handheld ,then wait even longer to buy the next Nintendo console.
The 3DS is alive and the Wii U is dead.It should be the opposite because the 3DS is way older. I made the right choice at getting a 3DS at launch and the wrong choice at getting a Wii U.Nintendo made so many Wii U promises and utterly failed to keep them.the 3DS will be remembered as a great gaming system that stood up to the smart phone market and did very well. The Wii U will not be remembered much at all,except for 3D World,Zelda Wii U and Mario Maker.
At least the 3DS isn't dead!It seems very alive and was the right choice for anyone to buy.It will be remembered as a super system for the ages.The Wii U on the other hand...
@dok5555555 Tell me about it.I usually am not interested in multi platform games but occasionally I am.I don't have the money to by another console.I can not see my self buying a non-Nintendo console in the future though because I want my Nintendo games.It gets frustrating at times.
You know,when that lady announced platforms the streaming service was coming to she neglected to say Wii U.She only said PS4/Xbone despite the screen saying all three platforms.
@kobashi100 The bought the Wii U? I thought the Wii U user base was mostly hard core Nintendo fans and second console owners with a few young people mixed in.
@Tazcat2011 Repost: To fill out the empty virtual console release schedule?Would you rather have games over a period of time or all the games that they have at once and none afterwards.Nintendo only has so many first party games they can release and after that there are none.That is probably why they added the DS and Wii to the lineup.Nintendo does it all the time with the 3DS and Wii U.Delay finished games and release them later to fill the schedule.
@Tazcat2011 Nintendo only has so many first party games to release and after that there is basically nothing because most third parties are not interested.

@Yellowkoopa It looks like Nintendo is also almost out of first party releases for the Game Boy/Game Boy Color for the 3DS virtual console too. The third party situation is also hurting the virtual console. Wii U on GBA does not look too well ether.I guess that is why they added DS and Wii to the Wii U virtual console.
Link to a list of first party games: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_products_published_by_Nintendo
@Superryanworld Also compare the DSi shop/Wii shop to the eShop on 3DS and Wii U.It is night and day compared to what they had previously. The reason for the drip feed of virtual console games is because they are running out of games they can release.Nintendo has allready almost used up all of their first party titles on Nes and Snes.Why no cross buy? Old licensing deals preculde that option for the virtual console.

@Superryanworld Call up some third parties and ask them to add their consoles to the virtual console. The lack of support from third parties is not just hurting the retail market, but also the virtual console.
Nintendo games tend to have low print runs. Splatoon is popular and should not have a low print run.You could run into the problem of it being sold out though.
I loved Gates to Infinity! I hope they keep the cinematic approach that it introduced.The story was very heart wrenching and had many twists and turns.The suicide cult was especially surprising.The 3D graphics were also much better than the main series inexplicably. Unfortunately I lost my game card and never finished the main story though.
@Quorthon You seem bitter.I loved Mario Kart 8,3D World, Zombi U and a wide variety of indie games on Wii U. I also think that Zombi U is the best selling third party Wii U game.
The gyro controls were very good.After a few minutes they become second nature and playing without them feels weird.I went to the Gamestop demo for Splatoon and they were turned off.I immediately asked for them to be turned on.
I don't like Just Dance. I will still watch it though because there is a chance that they will announce something on a Nintendo platform.Unlike EA,which I am going to skip.
@rjejr Nintendo is a platform holder,of course they will give more coverage to Nintendo.Besides Nintendo might set up exclusives for certain websites.Last year IGN got to exclusively reveal Devils Third.
I loved last year,this year seems to be more of that! The tree house streams made sure I knew it was E3.Before, E3 was basically over after the Nintendo conference for me.
@TwilightAngel I do not own a capable pc, PS4, or Xbone. So why should I not be sort of annoyed that yet another game is passing my by? I bought a Wii U/3DS because I was more interested their first party games than the other competing system's ones..Why should I be penalized by companies for my decisions? Don't they want my Money? I have my right to complain,maybe if I complain enough they will put certain games on to my platforms of choice.
Man, I hope the next Nintendo handheld or console blows away the sales charts. That way those devs who abandoned Nintendo are not prepared to develop for Nintendo devices, lose a huge audience,and go bankrupt.I am sick of being burned.
