It was good move to delay Starfox. It looked like it needed a big graphical improvement.

That being said, the wii u is gonna get absolutely wrecked this holiday. I thought fallout 4 vs xenoblade X was a tough call, but now it's literally everything vs Xenoblade X. Yeah.......


Why are you and others saying that Xenoblade is all Wii U has this holiday?

America-Yoshi's Woolly World, Fatal Frame, Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival, Mario Tennis, Xenoblade X, Devil's Third

Europe-Fatal Frame, Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival, Mario Tennis, Xenoblade X

Japan-Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival, Mario Tennis, Yokai Watch Dance, Shin Megami Tense x Fire Emblem

Ya the loss of Star Fox is a bummer but each region still have multiple exclusives releasing in the holiday quarter with each representing a different genre.

Well, I am in america. So I will only answer for america.

Yoshi's Woolly world looks nice, but with donkey kong tropical freeze, rayman legends, and NSMBU/NSLU, how many 2d platformers do you need?

Fatal Frame has never been a big name and will most likely not make a big splash upon release. Add that to the fact that it is eshop only here, and I view it no more than a solid indie game (it's not indie, but it may as well be).

Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival- As if amiibo's weren't a pain to begin with, this mario party like spiin off now relies on outside purchases to give you a full experience. Not exactly wowing anyone with this.

Mario Tennis - Another spin off using Mario's name to make a quick buck.

Devil's third - Metacritic: 41. This alone says alot about it's quality and generated hype.

Xenoblade X - A niche game for sure, however it is a huge open world rpg (something the wii u could really use) with beautiful locations, a solid fighting mechanic, and some notable improvements over its predecessor (such as skells and online multiplayer). This is a game that has been in development for a long time with a huge, but impressive team. There is certainly a case to be made when someone goes "Fallout 4 or Xenoblade X"/"Witcher 3 or Xenoblade X". However, saying "Black ops 3 or Devil's Third" or "BloodBorne or Fatal Frame V" will  have people think you are crazy

Be careful what you wish for, Nintendo of America!

"Xenoblade is niche"
Well, well, some title has to fill the boots of 3D World or Smash for U or Zelda - and Xenoblade is good enough to be that title!

I swear, NoA is kicking itself right now because StarFox Zero got delayed.



 
I WON A BET AGAINST AZUREN! WOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

:3

Maybe they'll take the time to actually make it a REAL all new Star Fox game, as it should be, with branching paths through one or moral solar system maps, and MUCH better graphics (because the Wii U hardware is capable of it), and anything ELSE making it more like SF64, as it should be, that you can think of.

I wasn't going to buy it anyway. So perhaps IF they actually upgrade it from basically being SF64: Remix, to being a totally original new SF game (that DOESN'T suck), then they may have succeeded in getting my money then.



Inb4 they don't improve it at all and was just so they could have a game in January - March.

Nah, Miyamoto just need more time to add grass into the game. They can't make anything significant from gameplay wise till Q1 2016.

So basically ur saying those games don't count because they don't interest u?



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

both Animal Crossing Amiibo Party and Mario Ultra Smash are listed by Gamefly to be release on December 4th

https://www.gamefly.com/#!/game/Animal-Crossing-amiibo-Festival/5009593

https://www.gamefly.com/#!/game/Mario-Tennis-Ultra-Smash/5009582

that's the same day Xenoblade is suppose to be released so this could be more proof that for the West and Europe is Xenoblade. (i imagine they could push #FE as the holiday Wii U game in december in Japan especially since Atlus also delayed their game of the year yesterday)



Well I don't have that much money this holiday season and my backlog is still too high. I don't mind the delay and hope the game gets more polished. Like many have said there isn't much for Q1 so might as well hold the game back till then and polish it a little more.

I'm giving reasons as to why I do not view the general public liking this line up (aside from xenoblade X). Do you want to prove me wrong and talk about how animal crossing amiibo festival or fatal frame will out perform something like halo 5?

We actualy dont know if this build have branching paths through one or moral solar system maps, we only saw 3-4 maps from demo, nothing more-nothing less.

Game runs on two screens on 60 FPS (basicly 2x 60FPS), so graphic certainly can't be much better or with big graphical improvement, but we can little better and more detailed graphic and of course more polished game. Saying that, even E3 build wasn't looking bad to me, not best looking Wii U game but certainly not worst.
