Latest Nintendo Direct Filled With...Not Much

The Nintendo Direct promotions have proven a reliable source a interesting news from the Japanese company, 'n their frequency means they don’t have t' include bombshells every time. The first one after the launch a yer new console, which has largely received a mixed reaction? Bring yer A game, man! Nintendo didn’t.

Instead, we have confirmation a games that be probably coming here 'n be now definitely be, vague new release dates for desired upcoming games that be actually delays, 'n looks at new features that do little than prompt ye t' scratch yer head 'n wonder what Nintendo’s thinking (pillage excited for Google Maps?).

Here be yer updated release dates for the next few months:

Wii U

  • Lego City Undercover -- Early 2013
  • Pikmin 3 -- Q2 2013 (delay)
  • Game & Wario -- Early 2013
  • Wii Fit U -- Early 2013
  • Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge DLC (character, co-op, multiplayer) -- “Soon”
  • Dragon Quest X -- Spring 2013 (Japan)
  • Panoramic Videos -- Free preview “soon,” paid eShop release in 2013
  • Google Maps -- Q1 2013

3DS

  • Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon -- Spring 2013
  • Brain Age Concentration Training -- February 10
  • Fire Emblem: Awakening -- February 4
  • Tokyo Crash Mobs (eShop) -- “Soon”
  • Harmo Knight (eShop) -- “Soon”
  • (2) New Super Mario Bros 2. DLC Packs -- Available today

Nothing about The Wonderful 101. Nothing about Bayonetta 2. Nothing about Virtual Console. No updates on the abysmally slow Wii U interface. No news on Nintendo Network coming t' 3DS. No clarification on transferring accounts or data between machines in the future. There be a whole lotta opportunities t' shore up support amongst people who have bought or will buy a machine, but instead, it felt like business as usual. Pretty strange.

I don’t mean t' be so down, since I do really like me Wii U, but this be pretty disappointing.
