Or, you know, until XCX launches. Then Twilight Princess HD, then Pokken, then Star Fox, then Genei Ibun Roku #FE, then Zelda, then...you get the idea. This whole "filler until NX" crap is just ridiculous. This is EXACTLY like late 2014 to early 2015. A few easy, small titles to pad a gap in the release schedule. It's not to "delay until NX." |
This is very clearly filler time until the NX. All of Nintendo's big development teams are working on games for the NX and this is obvious because out of the games you mentioned, only two games are being worked on by Nintendo's own teams, Xenoblade Chronicles, which has been in development for quite a long time, and Zelda, which is most likely coming to the NX as well. The rest are being developed by third parties because Nintendo doesn't want to waste their developers for games on a dying system and want the NX to launch strong. Twilight Princess HD is being developed by Tantalus, Pokken is being developed by Bandai Namco, Star Fox is being developed by Platinum Games, and Genei Ibun Roku #FE is being developed by Atlus. Until the NX is released, Wii U games will just be shovelware and games they paid third parties to develop to fill the time until the NX releases. I'm not discrediting the games you listed, because the games you listed will most likely be good games, but Nintendo is clearly in filler mode until NX.
