Nintendo Reaches into Wii U Grab Bag, Pulls Out Some Vague, Some Fascinating Promises

Time: It’s been a ho-hum 2013 for Nintendo’s Wii U so far: some carry-over posturing about scads of “launch window” titles, but less than a handful of games with bankable release dates. When I checked the hopper for January, February and March, I counted four, maybe five Wii U titles with firm dates, all of them least a month or two off.

Great article. I like the Nintendo Directs too. They speak right to the fans. None of that PR press release bs.

i think you're wrong. nintendo direct, while i do enjoy the news of new games and features, it very much is PR i believe.

this point was driven home in not the most recent nintendo direct, but the one prior. where pokemon x and y were revealed. i remember there was a part where they said something like, "breathtaking stunning 3d worlds" and i thought to myself nothing about what i was seeing was breathtaking, in fact it was far from it. but that was for me personally.

Were you watching the x and y video in 3D?

Its a 3DS game, so when they say 3D worlds, they literally mean "3D".

I figured that would be common sense.

everything they said are right on videos haters...so they are real...unlike speculations about what the next sony and microsoft systems will offer...now thats speculation and special wishes..because it will nothing more then a new paint of coat for halo and gears of wars.
