It really concerns me that Nintendo's console releases appear to be out of sync with their major franchises. It seems exceptionally unlikely that there's a mario kart, smash bros, zelda, star fox, or even Splatoon that'll be released for the next console within the next couple years. We haven't heard anything aboyt a 3d mario or Pikmin or something, and for their sake I hope they have the former, coming for the nX.

I really think they ought to port a lot of wii u games to the NX to bolster that library, especially as many of those games were played by exceedingly few people. Smash Bros, for instance, could really afford to skip a gen, port this one with minor improvements, and give Sakurai a break. The problem I foresee is that many of these games, such as the upcoming zelda and star fox ones, use the gamepad quite extensively.

Either way, this is why I'm against an early release for the NX... I just can't see how they'd have a quality launch lineup ready in time, and they'll likely botch it as they did with the wii u.
