Nintendo bucked the trend last year by not holding a press conference at E3. Instead, the company decided to save some money by releasing a pre-recorded Nintendo Direct, which was an utter disaster. The stream suffered under the weight of thousands tuning in simultaneously, resulting in a frustrating experience that was only exacerbated by the fact that the reveals were disappointing as well. Shouting across a Los Angeles hotel room in an effort to figure out what Nintendo was announcing only to find out that Retro Studios was making yet another 2D side-scrolling Donkey Kong Country was heart-breaking to say the least, and certainly not how I had hoped to spend the first morning the expo opened its doors.

"We wanted to cover this game at the beginning of March, but the Xbox One arrived into Bronsons house and ended getting it put off until now. Is this game better than the big-name titles that came out in March? We put the game to the test." - TheGamerAccess.com

The Wii U is having a bit of a rough time. While its a bit of a cliche to mention that in a Nintendo article, its hard to ignore their relatively weak software release schedule of 2014, which is not really the improvement that everyone was expecting. Sure, the spectacular Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze was released in February and Mario Kart 8 drops at the end of May but, other than that, what else is there? Its evident that Nintendo cant seem to keep up with a consistent release calendar, despite promising gamers that they learned from their mistakes for the second time regarding software droughts, the first being with the 3DS. Besides playing some great Game Boy Advance titles and watching Robocop on Netflix, the last time I invested in something was Ubisofts Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag just to clarify, I bought this after Donkey Kong. It was my first title into the series and it completely floored me. Its been a long time since a video game gave me this sense...

Hardcore Gamer: Despite a strong string of releases in 2013, Wii U is still struggling. The last major release on the console was Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze in February, and nothing but NES Remix 2 has a solid release date before or after Mario Kart 8 on May 31. The recent Nintendo Direct dedicated to Super Smash Bros. didn't do much to reassure anyone about the console's future either; Super Smash Bros Wii U was given a winter 2014 launch window, and with only the aforementioned releases confirmed until then, it appears Wii U owners could be in for some barren months.
