I'm having a hard time thinking of examples of Nintendo made game that get released when their next gen console/portable is released.  A little help, here?  I know they tend to release their consoles after everyone else but when they do, it seems like it's game over for the prior console.

One quick example of the top of my head for each system:

 

  • NES: Kirby's Adventure
  • SNES: Donkey Kong Country 3
  • GB/C: The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages/Seasons
  • GBA: Yoshi's Universal Gravitation
  • DS: Well, since this one is still going it's obvious that there's some stuff left in the pipeline.

 


Now DK3 and the Zelda games released about 15 minutes after the N64 and GBA (maybe a wee bit longer) but you're right.....technically.  I should've remembered Kirby because I never got around to playing it until recently because, by the time it released, I was only playing Snes games.  I never heard of the Yoshi game.  Still, you produced the goods.  I was wrong. 

*edit* I had to google that Yoshi game to make sure you didn't make it up--but it reminded me of how the GBA and DS Wario Ware titles released pretty close together.  Again, disproving my earlier statement.
