Still, they do need more good games on the thing, to lower it's price AND get the proper word out, then the units will start to move.

n00b question. How secretive is Nintendo about upcoming releases? I'm a little worried that beyond MK8, Smash, Bayonetta, X and a couple others there is just nothing on the horizon. Even Gamestop only list 7 titles for coming soon.

Extremely. Unconventionally, Nintendo revealed a metric ton of stuff in January 2013, including several games we haven't seen so much as mentioned offhand since.
Here's everything we know for sure is coming from Nintendo at retail, 1st/2nd party-wise. There could be more beyond this, but these are what we've been told about:

- Some sort of NFC game (Pokemon? Animal Crossing) - to be revealed at E3
- Zelda U - to be revealed at E3
- Bayonetta 2

- Super Smash Bros. U

- Yarn Yoshi
- Mario Kart 8
- Sonic Boom (not sure if Sega or Nintendo is distributing, though)

With all these game delays, why not just release a powerhouse of a system while also integrating the GamePad functionality? It just seems like a lost opportunity. It's like Nintendo got lazy and thought people would just buy a Wii U on brand recognition alone. Yeah, that was a mistake, since so many Wiis just sit around collecting dust, so let's make a sequel. Brilliant.

I think it's just a sign that nintendo doesn't really know what they're doing when it comes to the internet. They could have free advertising just by posting an advance list of what they're releasing each week!

Take it for what it's worth, but something interesting has popped up on Walmart's website.
The Legend of Zelda Wii U (Working Title), a Nintendo console exclusive, is a pre-release general action game to be released in Q4 of 2014.
More information is on the way! Check back soon!

Hopefully that's just a placeholder price! Also hopefully everything else is legit.

Hell if we're going to the Zelda well yet again, blow everyone away and make Zelda the protagonist. That would get my attention.

Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
I'm into all of those ideas and would like to subscribe to your newsletter. Although I have nothing but nice things to say about the quality of (most of) the games Nintendo is releasing, they've gotten to be very conservative with their choices of franchises and the general style of gameplay...trying to reproduce hits rather than create new ones. Some of that's necessary, but I wish they'd be a little more adventurous with some of their first party titles.
