This is most likely for Nintendo to make any official announcements ahead of their 3DS press event.
For Wii U, I feel Nintendo is holding off a ND until they can confirm the system update that is supposedly coming this month. I certainly don’t think they should announce any new projects ahead of E3, though. Regardless of whether Nintendo wants to address the Wii U situation, Iwata will have to in next weeks financial briefing and shareholders Q&A. If Nintendo still can’t even set release dates for Pikmin 3, W101, Game & Wario, or Wii fit U in the next two months for a “blow out” at E3, it’s going to do nothing more than cause skepticism among current and future Wii U owners.
Here’s what will happen at the Q&A:
Shareholder: Wii U sales are poor, what is your plan to fix this; what games do you have for the system?
Iwata: We have a very robust lineup of games planned for the second half of the year geared to pick up momentum on Wii U and secure a profit this term. However, we cannot give any specific details about any future projects.
Shareholder/Public: But isn’t this exactly what you have said, and failed to procure, for the first half of the year?
Iwata: Please understand.
