WiiU Owners have to heavily hope for loads of announcements at the E3. Everything else could crush the WiiU.

Apparently the Japanese Nintendo Direct feed announced Sonic Lost World and Yakuza 1 and 2 HD exclusives for the Wii U.

I find it a bit funny after years of fighting, Nintendo and Sega are friends now and Nintendo is getting Sega to help with their current situation.

By friend you mean nintendo pressing the last cash out of a dead money cow. Yep, that is nice from them.

There is also a new Mario and Sonic game I think? I hope this means we will get more Sega characters in SSB.

Yeah, but I was trying to be a bit nice towards Nintendo since at this point I almost have some pity for how badly the Wii U has blown up in their faces.... almost.

Here is the official announcement from Sega regarding the deal.

Sega Europe has handed the publishing and distribution rights to the next three Sonic the Hedgehog titles exclusively to Nintendo.

The move follows Sega's continued focus on the PC market with hits like Football Manager, Total War and Company of Heroes - and compliments Nintendo's portfolio of family-friendly titles. The deal includes Sonic Lost World, Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games and one other game to be revealed at a later date.

As event participants or as illegal immigrant unlicensed work force? Could be two totally different games.

I like it how Nintendo at the start of the presentation about this game had to show where Sochi is, since most people who live in the west are brainwashed and think that Russia = Cold Siberia

Now we know the reason. Gotta love those offline passes.

Nah, they will survive. They won't perform as well as the Wii/DS era, but currently the 3DS is profitable. And Pokemon hasn't been released on it yet. As for the Wii U, well, time will tell if it ends up becoming another Gamecube.

Nintendo got an assist from MS?

More bad news for Nintendo

Ubisoft scales back Wii U support.

For me this was a really bad E3 for Nintendo. Nothing that interests me.

Well aside from Genogears 2 and Bayonetta 2 coming in 2014... there's nothing to hype for the WII U.

Kinda saw it coming when they announced they wouldn't be at E3... the U should have come out 2-3 years earlier tbh and we should have had the U2 announcement due this or next year...
