As Nintendo switch to many resources to the WiiU and that would explain why they don't have any killer apps coming to the 3DS? This time last year Fire Eblem was just release we were looking forward to Castlevania, Luigi Mansion, Monster Hunter 3 on 3ds. Donkey Kong 3D in May 2013, Animal Crossing was releasing June 2013 & Mario and Luigi: Dream team in August 2013. Fall 2013 had big promising major titles Pokemon X & Y; Zelda a link between world and Mario Party. 2014 is looking very bleak; Bravely default is the only title worth mentioning so far this year. That game should have been released last year. On the horizon, we have Yoshi's New Island in March, Yet another Professor Layton game in Q1-Q2 2014. Mario Golf: World Tour has been delayed again and will be lucky if it's release in Summer 2014. Leaving only Kirby: Triple Deluxe to cover summer 2014. The only major fall release that’s not even official yet is Super Smash Bros which I have no interest of buying on the 3ds.
WiiU is failing; you'd think Nintendo would make a greater effort to support the 3DS! Nintendo really need to improve relationship with Third party developer if they intend on improving both the 3ds and WiiU library. It's time for Nintendo to bring back second party developers.
If Nintendo could secure the shares to Capcom, Level-5, Platinum & Sega and between the 5 companies build a few new studios they wouldn't need to rely on 3rd parties. Edit: Sega could bring back their SEGA SPORTS studios and produce all the major sport title on the Nintendo concoles. |
Well at this point last year, all we had was Fire Emblem as nothing notable released in January, as always. We have Professor Layton, Yoshi's New Island, Mario Golf, KIrby, two F2P games and a bunch of (currently) exclusive indies to look forward to. I'm not sure why you're assuming that there's going to be nothing in the second half of the year apart from Smash as NIntendo never reveals games far ahead of time unless they're in a dire situation or it's a HUGE franchise.
