Least they were right I guess.



Only Zelda and X for me. (neither of which are confirmed)

With no major third parties, this line up is mediocre at best. It shows the importance of major third party titles as Nintendo cant push out more than 2-3 big exclusives a year. And that is not enough to compete.

Unless it has Wii Sports like wild card. Amiibo?

to be realistic, the Zelda wii u would be the main game to push sales of the Wii U hardware then Xenoblade X would be more than HW + Bayo 2 + DK TF sales combined on their first week.

so these two games would help sell the system. the other games they can help a few hardware sales but not your system sellers.

can nintendo get any games for 2015 that is really big for NA market? (which we all know the biggest market for gamers). they need the sports franchise of madden, fifa, nba, nhl. + FPS main games, and FF XV, add those main 3rd party games - DOA 5 LR/6, Tekken 7.

don't push for innovation on the gamepad as normal gamers wanted the pro controller better and just play with it. those should be bundled and with price drops. maybe 720p 60fps on this type of games would sell the hardware.

day dreaming maybe. but that is the only thing to help boost Wii U hardware sales. Else it would be a normal increment of sales. nothing sharp incline.

Because NIntendo have a habit of delaying their big games, especially Zelda games, and an open world HD Zelda will take a long time to make.

It's nearly the end of the year and we still haven't seen gameplay, just a cutscene.

And I hope we don't see any more of the game until next year. Nintendo ought to be a little more mysterious with Zelda, they showed too much of Skyward Sword before release.

Speaking of Skyward Sword, it had its big blow-out at E3 2010 and (I think) wasn't seen again until GDC 2011.

This Zelda game has already been delayed (internally) and has already taken a long time to make. Nintendo waited until they were truly ready to show the game, rather than showing it two years before release like they did Twilight Princess.

I still think if it was coming next year we would have seen actual gameplay by now. Skyward Sword was playable at E3 2010 but didn't come out until November 2011.

SS was pushed to holiday because there was nothing else for the Wii. At E3 2011 they showed playable demos already well polished. And Nintendo updated the official webpage with basically the complete game before the game was released.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile


Second half looks fine, provided Zelda makes the holiday season, but the first half is brutal.

In my opinion, Nintendo has a much more interesting line-up than X1 and PS4 combined. Getting tired of all the "lets up the graphics so they look more real" games.


But you aren't tired of the let's make another Mario game and coat it with different paint from Nin? And it's not like ALL the XB1/PS4 has are games that "look more real anyway. But none the less I respect your opinion.

On Topic:

The biggest game coming to the Wii U in 2015 for me is Xenoblade X! I am SUPER hype for that game! Is it bad that I do not care at all about Zelda  U? I feel like I am the only person who doesn't see anything special in that game sadly . But Xenoblade X I can not wait for and I am also looking forward to SNES remix. Still looks like it will be some nice software on the Wii U next year. Heck the Wii U, PS4 and XB1 will ALL be getting a LOT of AMAZING games next year! It will be an all around good year for all gamers!



The absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence...

Unless Amiibo has Wii Sports effect on Wii U. I don't see 2015 will be better than 2014.
