Honestly, the October and December are OK.
But that November... they better pimp the shit out of Yo-kai Watch.

I really don't think that matters this point in the Wii U's life cycle.
No, not really. Well unless you're grading by the WiiU curve.
I think they're done with DLC for Mario Kart 8 at this point, they've likely started work on the NX version

As would 3 new Smash characters and a handful of stages.

You have to grade by the Wii U curb these days.
At least Fatal Frame and Xenoblade will be unique, even if they don't sell.
¯\_(ツ
_/¯I mean...okay, it probably needed it. There was NO hype for this game. Absolutely none. Possibly negative.
It sucks that after Zelda U was delayed they didn't put in an order for an HD Remake or two to fill the void. With Star Fox delayed, that lack of action is going to hurt.

Come on, The Wii U lost its relevance a long time ago, and I highly doubt that there were a substantial number of kids champing at the bit to play Star Fox.
Nintendo was going to have a shitty Xmas no matter what.

Good point. The Gamepad is the thing I'm not into, which is the new take.

A PlayStation 4 or an Xbox One.
He's right about 2010 being a great year for Wii games, though. Disagree with the hyperbole about the Wii U but my three favourite Wii games are in that list and only DKCR has been topped by its Wii U counterpart
Give me HD Waluigi Pinball and I'll be slightly more content with having nothing to play
Best November ever.

You missed Guitar Hero in October and Shovel Knight in November (and some shovelware from Little Orbit). Plus, there is Mario Tennis and Animal Crossing, assuming those two don't get delayed until next year.
Edit: and I think Giana Twisted Sisters: Director's Cut is coming as well.
This is the first time I think I'm glad to hear a game delay statement. I've had a number of issues with Star Fox Zero since it was revealed and a delay will likely address all of them. The graphics, the barren feel and look of the levels, the lack of multiplayer of any kind, making sure the controls work as intended. Far to many people had issues with the above and continued to have issues with these elements for Nintendo to not have noticed.
I just hope that since this is now delayed that maybe Xenoblade Chronicles X might be pushed up in it's release. Or maybe Fatal Frame will not get a physical release instead of just being eShop only.

Ahh, though I missed something.
But Shovel Knight has been out on the Wii U for a year and a half now hasn't it?

Probably needed more time for polish if the previews are to be believed.

The gamepad is what is wrong with the game. To accommodate the second screen, the game has become a slow boring experience. The gamepad has had more negative impact on the game play then positives ones.
Hopefully Nintendo figures out how to fix this.

Mario Maker, Splatoon, Amiibo, Yoshi, Mario Tennis.
Kids don't generally own the big games of the year day 1. Nintendo games are generally released for the long haul.
If Nintendo released an "Ultimate" Mario Kart Wii U bundle that came with all DLC, that might help a bit as well.
it's getting a retail release

Probably for the best.
And I know it makes me sound old, but when there are so many games coming out in such a short time that I want to play, I almost feel a sense of relief when one of 'em gets delayed. Although it's a good problem to have, I suppose...
Granted, Q1 is even more stacked now than it was previously.

Didn't they actually just do this?

The Gamepad really is the single worst part of the system. I really wish they would just make every game work perfectly with the people controller and make the Gamepad entirely optional.

They did for NSMBU, but I'm not sure they have for Mario Kart. I don't think Mario Kart + DLC has been bundled and sold as one package before.

It doesn't bother me as I wasn't interested in the first place. If they add an online component and improve the graphics, then the delay would be worth it and I'll buy it.
I don't think the delay affects sales that much. Sales are bad regardless, even when heavy hitters like Smash Bros. come out. And Star Fox was a poor replacement for Zelda. Honestly, the Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival would likely have had better sales without the Star Fox delay.

I know some of you are saying DLC, but they can't just pull out that out of their asses for November for any game. It's like less than 2 months away
The game pad is the main idea behind the console and IMO it's wonderful if they'd only implemented a bit better in games.

A delayed game
is eventually good

Just find it for 50 bucks then pay the 12 to get all the DLC, roughly the same price a $60 ultimate version would cost

The game pad, while a good idea when used correctly, was a huge and costly mistake.
- Bumped the cost of the console way up and made price cuts difficult
- Caused confusion, as the focus was on the controller, leading people to believe it was just a Wii attachment, as Nintendo had sold tons of those in the past.
- Has a really terrible battery life that forces a player to either take a break or remain tethered to a wall with an outlet.
- Is comfortable once you get used to it, but it's a little awkward to hold at first, since it's so bulky.
- Difficult and expensive to replace if it gets lost, broken, or stolen.
Well it's not far off.
