Summer 2016-Luigi's Mansion 3 Holiday 2016-Nintendo Fusion console launch, 3D Mario big launch title Spring 2017-Mario Kart 9 Summer 2017-Twilight Princess HD Holiday 2017-Pokemon Gen 7 These will be the real big titles released every few months with a bunch of smaller support titles mixed between. |
I could see something like that, though I think they could have Mario Kart 9 for holiday 2016 too, the gap between MK7 and MK8 was 2 1/2 years, 2 1/2 years from May 2014 is pretty much December 2016, so it could make it I guess.
But yeah I can agree with that too.
May 2016 - Nintendo Fusion Handheld Launch (Japan w/US and Europe following in June/July):
Animal Crossing (big title), F-Zero (smaller title), third party stuff.
June-October 2016 (post-launch period)
Luigi's Mansion 3, SMT x Fire Emblem (Wii U dual release)
November 2016 - Nintendo Fusion Home Version Launch
Super Mario Galaxy 3 (worldwide), Monster Hunter 5 (Japan)
The post launch period still kinda worries me though, Luigi's Mansion 3 is a pretty big title, but maybe not big enough to prevent a post launch lull and that's really hurt Nintendo in both of the last 2 cycle launches. Maybe add Hyrule Warriors 2 into that window? Mario Maker 2.0?
I think Dragon Quest, like the Final Fantasy series has will go multiplat for 2017. Playstation 3/4 + Nintendo Fusion (Home and Portable) for DQXI.
