@Henmii Quite simply, NINTENDO WANTS TO MAKE QUALITY GAMES!!! They have admitted themselves that they have been rushing with their games and that they were going to take their time and make quality games. Would you rather have a system with a lot of super crappy games or a system with a lot of good, high quality IPs? Seriously! Nintendo can't pump out a high quality game every month! The delay of Rayman Legends was entirely the developer's fault, not Nintendo's.
Nintendo desperately wants to make the Wii U a success, but the only way to do that is to have high-quality games! They are NOT happy with the low sales! Seriously, give them some time to develop games! I would rather wait and get high-quality IPs rather than have Nintendo rush and make crappy games. Please be patient and we'll get our good games, but PLEASE do NOT assume Nintendo is happy with the low Wii U sales, because they aren't. This became obvious when they sliced their sales projections by 1.5 million units.
@EvisceratorX Well the naming for the 3DS makes sense, it's a 3D DS. But I will agree that I never was, and I still am not quite really fond of the name Wii U...
I am SO HYPED for this!!! If only I could go to E3 to play the demo...but anyway this is so amazing!!! I've been longing for a fresh new Mario game and Nintendo has FINALLY ANSWERED!!!
@TwilightV Like I've said earlier, 5 months after release is way too soon to call a system doomed. People jump to conclusions too soon. Look at the 3DS: 5 months after release people are calling it doomed and 2 years and the acquisition of a massive video game library later, it's smashing the competition. If a console still isn't selling well 2 years after release, then we can most likely call it a failure.
I think the GamePad will revolutionize the home console gaming market - it can be used in SO many ways and SOOO many original games can be created that take advantage of the second screen.
@moomoo Oh yes, I understand, I should've stated that I was referring to practically every other article concerning the Wii U nowadays. And I agree with that, if it's STILL not selling well at Christmas 2014, then we can probably say that the Wii U was definitely not a success (I can't bring myself to call it a "failure").
Everyone said the same thing about the 3DS when it launched...they all said that "oh, it's d00med, failing, blah, blah, blah" and now look at it: It has a massive game library and a very good price and it's completely smashing the competition.
I have faith that the Wii U will turn-around. The new Mario Kart and 3D Mario will be playable at E3, so I think we can at least expect a Christmas 2013 release for the Mario Kart. If they're going to be playable, then they're bound to be nearing completion. I think Mario Kart will boost the sales and so will the 3D Mario...those two games saved the 3DS and I have hope they will save the Wii U as well. Only time will tell.
Let's not call the Wii U a doomed console yet...it's only been out 5 months, that's a little too soon to call a console "doomed." Games are coming. If we want quality, we're going to have to wait.

Re: Mario Kart (Tentative Title)
Hopefully we'll get a holiday release for this game.

Re: Feature: The Biggest Wii U Games of 2013 - Spring Edition
You might want to add Mario Kart to the list. It will be playable at E3 so I think we can expect a 2013 holiday season release.
