Okay guys. So a lot of people keep speculating the release date of this. Especially because the NA direct had no English dubs and they didn't use the English version of the game. Well I'm here to show why I BELIEVE it will be released before September.

We already have a ton of games coming from Nintendo in the September through December months. Mario Maker is Sept, Rodea is Sept, Devil's Third is fall, Yoshi's Wooly World is fall (in NA) Star Fox is most likely November, Fatal Frame V is probably october, Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem is winter (in Japan, so probably Dec) Project CARS will most likely be in the summer, but I can see it being pushed back pretty far. Guitar Hero Live is not confirmed (I don't think) but this will also probably be around the fall time.

Also, the localization of Xenoblade Chronicles X has been in progress since last year SOURCE http://www.siliconera.com/2015/01/19/xenoblade-chronicles-x-localization-is-in-progress/ - Do not rule this out. This was posted on Januaray 19th. They stated localization is going well. Which means they have been working on it for awhile and are now at least 5 months at the minnimum into localization.

Games like this tend to also come out 2-3 months after the Japan release. UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES!!! So you guys... I think I've made a good statement and I think people are not putting all this together. Nintendo also needs a summer game. Xeno is perfect for it I mean everyone is going to have a lot more free time. Either way, I believe this game will come out in either July or August for the west. What say you?

August is also what i think. I'm pretty sure, it won't release any later than the end of that month.



Playing: F1 2016 (PC), Uncharted: The Lost Legacy (PS4)
Watching: Hajime no Ippo, Attack on Titan (4th time)
Upcoming purchases in October:
-TBD

Going off by all of this, I'd say August is most likely.



"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."

I doubt it. With your rationale, it would either be released before September, or in 2016.

So my guess is 2016, or Holiday 2015, since I doubt it would be released before September.. and because I think that SMTxFE is a 2016 release as well..

I hope it releases in the Summer because then it guarantees I'll get it day one or else I'll wait until later.

After already 5+ months of localization with another 1 or 2 left (if it were to be released in August) you  don't believe it will be released before september? Why.... Lol

Also, SMT x FE will b e 2016 for the west. However, it was stated it was Winter 2015 for Japan.

Best month of the year :D, I hope it comes out on my birthday... I think black and white or one of them came out on my Bday... I'll have to go check.

Edit: nope, I remember being hyped for something releasing on my birthday a couple years back but I can't seem to find anything.

I made an edit, because I realized it could still make it for 2015, so that would be a holiday release.

Localization takes a long time and with such a big game, I don't think they are able to release it so soon.

With SMTxFE being in 2016, it could allow for another Wii U game to be squeezed into holiday 2015, assuming that Star Fox is being released this year.

September seems pretty likely; around the same time that GTA V launched a couple years ago perhaps. If not, then it'll likely be 2016...and it had damn well better not be.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I hope so! the most i'll wait is Christmas, 2016 and beyond would kill me D: ( Especially since the actual game is finished :P )
