After the Direct is this list still likely?

January: Wii Fit U (retail)
February: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
March: Wii Sports Baseball (digital)
April: Wii Sports Club (retail)
May: Mario Kart 8
June: Yarn Yoshi
July: Bayonetta 2
August: New IP from Miyamoto
September: Sonic Boom
October: Hyrule Warriors
November: Super Smash Bros. 4
December: X


If you think the list is too optimistic could these titles fill in the empty months and if so, which months?

Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem
Watch Dogs
Project CARS

Not commenting on what i think of your predictions, but have insight on another factore.

It's scary that bascially every game that the Wii U has going for it is 100% Nintendo game.  Bascially 0 3rd parties.

But in the same sense, how in the hell does someone who calls themselves a GAMER not have a Wii U?  Seriously if they don't get a Wii U, then they miss out on all of those games you listed plus the many games already out and for 2015 that are 100% EXCLUSIVE.

How a gamer can have a PS4 or One, or BOTH and not have a Wii U just baffles me.

I agree but because of no future 3rd party I think a lot of people (at least here in the UK) are waiting for those 5-6 must haves before buying.

Nintendo could really improve on assuring that those titles are on their way by giving more solid release dates. Understandably some of my friends fear that those must haves end up releasing in 2015/2016 or getting cancelled or moved to the next Nintendo console.

 

Regarding every game being 100% Nintendo and no 3rd party is indeed scary. Nintendo has to go all in providing their next console with great specs, x86 architecture and an ordinary controller. Nintendo + every 3rd party game is hard to beat.
