That's what you get from the list? That Xbox and PS4 have nothing but junk but the Wii U is so well off because it has one major game in the immediate future, Mario Kart 8?

i mean, I know we all have different opinions and tastes but I bought a Wii U and quite honestly I'm disappointed in its future prospects. If I hadn't already bought a bunch of virtual console games then I probably would have traded it in.

Pretty sure I said they have the same first year drought WiiU had and that they all have about the same impending titles with the two exceptions being FF on PS4 and MK8 on WiiU. I did infer that MK8 was the biggest title and I think thats definitely arguable.

I have not seen a list for these two past May, but beyond the normal yearly titles (yawn), what else is there that is interesting?


Well, Elder Scrolls Online, Arkham Knight, Destiny and Dragon Age all come to mind. But those are just games that I'm excited about.

i hope Mario Kart 8 does amazing things for the system. My only problem with is that I won't have anyone to play local multiplayer with. Online is just not the same. I'm not even touching Smash Brothers for the same reason.

it just seems different to me between Wii U's first year and the Ps4/X1. Wii u got shafted in part because third parties are indifferent to Nintendo for the most part and Nintendo could care less apparently. If games didn't come to Wii U it was because of apprehension or low sales of other third party titles. Games not coming to PS4/X1 is because those games either don't exist or we don't really know about them yet. Trust me, most major titles will come to both systems and it is doubtful you could ever say that about Wii U.

Plus, there is half a year left before we can judge fully how the new consoles did the first year. You have to also remember December, January and February are ALWAYS dead for ANY console. That's half the PS4's life right now. Even though I'm not blown away by the X1's library, I know it will have plenty of games eventually. It's not even unthinkable that the Wii U gets taken off the market by the time the X1/PS4 start hitting their strides.

so yeah, I'm not too hopefull that my Wind Waker HD Deluxe bundle will have been a worthy purchase. I would love to be proven wrong in that expectation.
