What is important is a good press release, especially in great network. Since one year Nintendo only communicates to its fans. That's a problem because the wide public does not care about Nintendo Direct and stuff like that. The lack of big events with huge games is a problem. From launch date till now we only see games with poor HD environnemnts. Where are Metroid Prime, big Zelda as OOT, big Mario 3D Game, big F-Zero, big Star Fox? Nintendo only launches interesting and funny gameplays like Nintendoland, Pikmin 3, SM3DW & DKTF. But if they want to competitor this is not enough. It deals with you because you are fanatics (as me).
As the wii U has a creepy CPU it is very hard for third party games to be good looking. The wii U failure come from bad choices. The gamepad stuff is a feature for true gamers only, not for casual gamers.
What is necessary now is to show bigs games, AAA games, as a massive open world. X could make the difference but when will it be released? Nobody knows.
MK8 seems to be very attractive even for a large public. What games will be launched immediatly after? Smash U will certainly be released in the early 2015.
