Yeah, that's pretty weak. The Mario Maker contest thing was cool, I was on the edge of my seat when Mario had to jump off all those turtles and avoid the big saws everywhere, jesus!
Nintendo has... well, I haven't heard anyone say anything good about the WiiU, and I think they know that there's not much more enthusiasm they can muster for it. I do notice that their schedule does seem to be full of their classic titles "Mario, Sonic, StarFox, Zelda" and some new ones, but I notice it only goes to 2016.
So I'd like to hope that they're either working on a new console, or I've heard that they were considering porting to the iPhone (the most powerful gaming device). It'd be neat, I think, to see classic games and IP designed without the need for buttons, it'd be a heck of a design challenge and one that I think Nintendo could pull off.
