Mario, lol
Well I think Nintendo needs to flip the script, but I think it's too late.

Who was hoping to sell millions?
Reading the OP makes the answer quite clear, although I do agree that the thread title could use some clarification.
Edit: And there it is.

Mario said that he can't comment on what the game is. But he did say that it's one of the highest rated Wii U titles.
Did they ever go into panic mode with the Gamecube?

Lol. I'm wondering what was the game which was supposed to sold millions.

$99 consoles say yes.

I'm wondering the same.
I'd expect BLOPS2 to have sold 1million by the time the next BLOPS game is releasing (about how all CoD games have sold on Nintendo platforms I think).
Is this the same panic mode people talk about where they pump out a bunch of games? Not sure how that will solve the problem this thread is talking about.

What's the problem? the wii sells : no third party. The wii U doesn't sell : no third party.
We already saw it somewhat. They released that "panic mode" Nintendo Direct to announce a bunch of stuff that's too far off in the future.

The game has to be call of duty. I mean, what else fits.
edit: Zombi U could be it too though, like said above.

Ah ok, never knew they went that low with it! Nintendo never officially launched it here so never got too involved with the system's lifespan. Was RE4 before or after panic mode?

Hoping to sell multi-millions on a console that just launched? When has that ever been a reasonable expectation to have?

Stop saying panoc mode. It didn't create already planned software.
The only game I can imagine this would be about is Call of Duty: Black Ops II. The rest of the high quality Wii U games were late ports with a few exceptions. I also doubt it's ZombiU as the OP said "tens of thousands" and we already know ZombiU has apparently sold > 100k.

$99 with a copy of Metroid Prime, too, if I remember right.

I think they meant over time, not right at launch. But if it only sold 10s of thousands now, it likely won't reach that.

I'm guessing it was either Assassins Creed 3 or BLOPs2. No other game fits the bill.

Obvious choices:
ZombiU (exclusive, high profile Western third party release)
Call of Duty Black Ops II (Activision's recent comments support this)
Assassin's Creed 3 (I think this is far less likely than the other two)
If I bet on anything - it'd have to be ZombiU.

But Panic Mode this holiday season when PS4/720 is released and the first real wave of Nintendo games is released?
Fuck yeah, if Wii U hasn't picked up by then (it won't), I'm guessing Nintendo is going to do some crazy shit to combatant the new consoles.

People usually talk here like if that is a good thing, but it meant that time that Nintendo released a buggy and unfinished Super Mario Sunshine and a Zelda with a horrible fetchquest to replace cut dungeons.

Wii U just needs it's Custom Sauce™ to shine, 3rd parties be dammned.
Top it all of with an exclusve Rayman Legends Demo, thanks to the good folks at Ubisoft (God Bless Them)

"Over time" according to Mario. I guess they were hoping for evergreen sales once the userbase built up a little.
Based on that, I'd guess Call of Duty.

No chance. It'd be mad to think they'd sell anything like that.
PhoenixDawn

Yeah re-reading it I guess that's what they mean, but it's still a pretty lofty expectation for a new console. Especially if it's Black Ops 2 (I'm assuming it is) which gets a yearly renewal game anyways and has sales drop a lot once that new version is released.

I can't think of any 3rd party game that's already out that should have sold millions.

Nintendo turned the 3DS around when it was all doom and gloom, they can do it for Wii U as well.
Though that certainly applies in Japan, but the 3DS still isn't exploding in NA is it?
We need support on that end too, did DS ever TRULY take off at least in it's first year or so in NA?
Pokemon will do the trick, but any 3rd-party success stories in NA on DS?
How did the DS COD games do?

Zombi U can't be the game because it's far from a heavy hitter. New I.P, horror FPS, average production values...
