It was good move to delay Starfox. It looked like it needed a big graphical improvement.

That being said, the wii u is gonna get absolutely wrecked this holiday. I thought fallout 4 vs xenoblade X was a tough call, but now it's literally everything vs Xenoblade X. Yeah.......


Why are you and others saying that Xenoblade is all Wii U has this holiday?

America-Yoshi's Woolly World, Fatal Frame, Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival, Mario Tennis, Xenoblade X, Devil's Third

Europe-Fatal Frame, Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival, Mario Tennis, Xenoblade X

Japan-Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival, Mario Tennis, Yokai Watch Dance, Shin Megami Tense x Fire Emblem

Ya the loss of Star Fox is a bummer but each region still have multiple exclusives releasing in the holiday quarter with each representing a different genre.

Well, I am in america. So I will only answer for america.

Yoshi's Woolly world looks nice, but with donkey kong tropical freeze, rayman legends, and NSMBU/NSLU, how many 2d platformers do you need?

Fatal Frame has never been a big name and will most likely not make a big splash upon release. Add that to the fact that it is eshop only here, and I view it no more than a solid indie game (it's not indie, but it may as well be).

Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival- As if amiibo's weren't a pain to begin with, this mario party like spiin off now relies on outside purchases to give you a full experience. Not exactly wowing anyone with this.

Mario Tennis - Another spin off using Mario's name to make a quick buck.

Devil's third - Metacritic: 41. This alone says alot about it's quality and generated hype.

Xenoblade X - A niche game for sure, however it is a huge open world rpg (something the wii u could really use) with beautiful locations, a solid fighting mechanic, and some notable improvements over its predecessor (such as skells and online multiplayer). This is a game that has been in development for a long time with a huge, but impressive team. There is certainly a case to be made when someone goes "Fallout 4 or Xenoblade X"/"Witcher 3 or Xenoblade X". However, saying "Black ops 3 or Devil's Third" or "BloodBorne or Fatal Frame V" will  have people think you are crazy
