Yeah, it looks great... what is it, Xenoblade 2 with online, or something? The gameplay sure looks similar, at least.
Also, they announced Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem, for the Wii U. No details yet, but that sure is an interesting cross...
Oh, and there won't be any first party releases at all on the Wii U in January or February. Yeah, those slow Wii U sales aren't going to pick up anytime soon... Nintendo is not doing a great job so far with their one year headstart, and considering that Wii U is a lot less powerful than PS4 and 720 (or whatever they are going to be called) will be... well, we'll see; there's still quite a ways to go. But the Wii U is not an immediate hit like the Wii was, clearly. It's doing okay, but not amazingly like Wii did.
On the other hand, they did promise SSB Wii U, 3d Mario Wii U, and a newly announced Yoshi platformer for Wii U, all of which we'll see more of at E3, so there is good stuff upcoming... but the launch is very slow.
Oh yeah, and of course they also said that they're working on a new Zelda game, but it'll take a while. Of course it will; Zelda games take a while, and the last one released just a year ago. It might have open-world and/or online play, that could be interesting. Coming sooner, Wind Waker HD Remake, coming this year. There are screenshots; it looks like Wind Waker, upscaled to HD.
