I only say this because it seems that these particular platformers (I know it's not from the 'New Super Mario Bros.' series) are becoming increasingly unpopular in terms of players simply being "burnt out". I would gladly swap the release dates for these two titles as it makes more sense for Nintendo this holiday season (in my eyes at least). The Mario Kart 8 title, now that would have moved systems this holiday with it bundled. It looks as though they're leaning on Super Mario 3D World to do the trick and I'm not all that convinced. Same goes for Wonderful 101 and Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze. Pikmin 3 looks great, but it's not a system seller. Not for it to sit there until titles arrive in 2014. But this coming holiday was extremely important to have consumers believe in a reason to get the system around then. I kind of expected a little more on the end from Nintendo from this e3 on what to expect by the end of this year. It's all about where the money is - and Nintendo isn't it right now for these third party developers. It just sorta sucks that it's created this division between developers and Nintendo.

The Wii U is much better in comparison against Xbox One and PS4 than Wii U ever was against the Xbox 360 and PS3. We know better but not everyone reads all this news online with a clear and analytical mind.
This is not helping the Wii U's case as the general public will think that the Wii U is weak or some other reason. The developers are avoiding the Wii U like the plague and citing reasons that their "engine does not work" or the "Wii U is too weak" even when so many cross-gen games are coming out! It is looking like most of the 3rd party developers either have a grudge against Nintendo, they are working all together to doom Nintendo (melodramatic ), they are just following the crowd of most publishers or they just want to stay away from the kiddie image of the Wii.
#WOLFENSTEIN THE NEW ORDER WON'T LAUNCH PS3#
However, if you had said that last gen about the same game out for PS3 vs. Wii U? If you say 'greatly', you're kidding yourself.
Seriously, how much different is watch dogs going to play/look on PS4 vs. I know, of course it should, but it appears that developers and the video game community are simply failing at giving it a chance. The Wii U is an amazing system which far surpasses the Wii in tremendous amount of ways. Sure it was amazingly innovative, but for who it catered to and how sour a taste it left in mouths of the many has been too hard to overcome for some third party developers. Nintendo hurt themselves bad with the Wii. Of course, that never panned out too well for the various reasons like: shotty ports, graphical capabilities, online, etc. But they bought into the casual hype thinking people who bought the Wii would go for their games. isn't nearly as great for the Wii U compared to these 'yet to be released' systems. On paper, it makes a lot more sense if third party supported this console than the last one (Wii) since the disparity in horsepower/visuals/etc. Third party support for Nintendo for the most part I guess has been like this forever, but for the Wii U it seems like an all time low. I think what annoys me about these developer drop-outs the most is the 'elitist' attitude they come off as towards Nintendo.
