2015 could be quite good, but Nintendo need to do a better job with Virtual Console and some major digital releases to fill out blank spots. Franchises like F Zero, Punch Out and Wave Race could be revisited digitally if there are too many risks to take with a full retail release. And that doesn't mean they need to skimp; they cut down on the costs of launching those games by eliminating manufacturing and distribution costs.
As it is, I think Zelda, Xenoblade Chronicles X and Star Fox are all candidates for delays. I don't think all three will get delayed, but I wouldn't be surprised if one or two slip into 2016. I sincerely hope that's not the case. And if games like Pokken, Fire Emblem v Shin Megami Tensei and Fatal Frame 5 in there, it could be a very, very good year given Wii U's situation.
Wait and see, though. Hopefully there'll be a December Direct to cue is in on the first few months of the year, and maybe to announce another spin-off project like Hyrule Warriors.
