From a European perspective, the first six months of the year will have had Captain Toad, Mario Party 10, Kirby, Splatoon and Yoshi. Project Giant Robot is also still down as 'first half', so that could still end up being a June release. Add to that N64 and Wii games on Virtual Console, and some strong eShop releases, plus DLC for Smash, Kart and Hyrule Warriors, and I think Nintendo have done a good job of keeping content ticking over.
At this point I'm actually more concerned about the second half of the year. Zelda, Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem, Project Treasure and Pokken Tournament (if it's Wii U bound) will be 2016, I think. Mario Maker is down for September and Xenoblade Chronicles X should make it out at some point this year, as should Devil's Third. I'm not sure what will become of Project Guard, and I'm worried Star Fox could be delayed, too.
Good job E3 is round the corner. |
Captain toad and Kirby are tiny releases though (ESP Kirby) Mario party 10 is a biggish release as is splatoon. Will yoshi arrive in June though? Like you say at e3 we need some definate release dates on a lot of games

Of course there are smaller releases. Nintendo can't churn out 8 to 12 blockbuster games a year, not while supporting 3DS and Wii U. Larger titles will be supplemented by smaller titles, DLC, eShop and Virtual Console. I think, given the circumstances, Nintendo have done a decent job so far this year. And as with my other dates, Yoshi is a European release, 26th of June. Doesn't leave much room for Project Giant Robot, if that's still coming as a retail title.
