Since this is a fairly general WiiU thread, I suppose I'll post this here. But I'm just baffled about this launch. I mean, the actual launch and lineup was pretty good and I enjoyed it. In fact, since this is the Satisfaction Thread, I personally was very satisfied with the launch and found most problems people were complaining about to be overblown. But nintendo massively messed up the marketing and final polish. To be honest, that wasn't too surprising, but post-launch? *sigh*
I mean, look at the first party releases. Since launch, what first party games have we had? Lego City is the first Nintendo published game since launch iirc. That's 4 months. And it isn't even Nintendo developed! When's the next Nintendo developed title? We don't even have dates for Pikmin/Wario/even freaking Wii Fit U.
I know they said they've had problems with HD development, but that's no excuse. They've had plenty of time to get ready for this. I just don't understand why/how nintendo let's the launch periods of their systems (3DS, too) be so half-assed.
To be fair, I have enjoyed what the system has had to offer so far. And I'm sure it will eventually have a great bunch of games like the Wii and 3DS ended up having. But they really messed up in their planning here. I mean, it's not like they were so busy making games for the Wii while preparing the WiiU (see: 2011 and 2012). Rayman probably would've helped, but lets not talk about that... They really need to give us dates for some stuff though.
Also, it's late here and I'm half asleep, so I'm probably not making much sense and will look at this tomorrow wondering what I was thinking.
