Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Nintendo games release dates disaster

Yeah, the direct made me less fearful that they're abandoning the Wii U, but cemented my opinion that they've resigned to having one console release (absolutely anywhere in the world) per month this year - which leaves big gaps for each particular region.

My reasoning: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=199567&page=1

You forgot the "does this even exist?" on StarFox. Altough it might pop anytime given SMTxFE grand revival yesterday.



Games can wait a bit, I'll be busy buying amiibos lol



Fishing for reactions, eh?



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.

Nintendo has a tend for delaying games normally so this isn't really new news...

We get it, delays happen. Nothing new here.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

This is a major reason why Nintendo needs to unify their platforms. Design games for one platform that's available in 2-3 form factors (portable, tablet, console). Here is the lineup of Nintendo-published titles this year (North American dates).

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D-February 13
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse-February 20
Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars-March 5
Codename S.T.E.A.M.-March 13
Fossil Fighters: Frontier-March 20
Mario Party 10-March 20
Boxboy!-April 2
Pokemon Rumble World-April 8
Xenoblade Chronicles 3D-April 10
Puzzles & Dragons Z+Super Mario Edition-May 22
Splatoon-May 29
Yoshi's Woolly World
Mario Maker
Fatal Frame: Oracle of the Sodden Raven
Project Giant Robot
Project Guard
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Devil's Third
Star Fox
Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer

That's 20 games with chances of a few extra announced at E3, so averaging about 2 games per month.


Ninty's reputation would skyrocket, NX can't arrive quick enough.

I also forgot Pokemon Shuffle which released February 18.

From February 13 to May 29, Nintendo will have published 12 games or 3 per month. Like always a bit of a slowdown in the Summer but once Fall hits they always ramp up the releases again so we can easily expect another dozen or so titles from September to December.

I honestly can't see how people are so against a unified console/handheld, Nintendo-published titles+Japanese 3rd party support+kid friendly titles+indie support would easily give such devices 100+ games per year, any AAA western titles would just be icing on the cake in such a scenario.

Yoshi comes out in the first half of 2015 in Europe. Woohoo

End of June in EU and September in US - it's a fail.

Wait, Europe gets a game almost 3 months before the US?

Wooohooo, Europe FTW!


Immediately my mind presumes X is going to be the opposite, maybe even dramatically so, but let me not jinx it....
