Great thread! Used to have one for Wii and PS3 releases only, this one is one hell of a job.
I agree as well with including only announced games with at least a name. We know that several Wii games coming from Nintendo have been cancelled before, even games with their names set. So it's OK not to include generic vague titles as New Mario Game, Fire Emblem X SMT RPG, etc.

Also, not wise to include western games we assume that will be localized for Japan, because, if Wii is any indicator, several multiplatform games released everywhere except on it.

Right now, as barren as it looks, this is the official Wii U release schedule, where only 4 games have a solid release date, 3 of them being western localizations and one of them being an HD multiplat, old 3DS port. With almost 2 months of nothing until it releases.

If Xbox360, a Western console on its last breath that's selling less than 1k weekly with one of the lowest install bases ever for Japan has a better line up than the successor the Wii on its firrst months, then the future panorama is clear. If I say worse support than what the Wii got, then I might fall short.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

When is the next big event or time to announce more games? Outside of magazine reveals, I don't know what to expect soon.

Honestly the most steady stream of announcements are from the weekly gaming magazines and game websites. Expect more June game release announcements this month as companies look to pad their next quarterly financials.

E3 and TGS should also have huge amounts of news.

Nintendo needs a real Direct, and soon.

Then again, maybe the fiscal meeting will fill stuff in.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Now I'm curious where you got that information from, haven't seen it anywhere.

Although it wouldn't surprise me.

Really nice thread, thanks for putting all the info together. The PSP is seriously living in a parallel universe over there.

Since I don't know about which Japanese games sell:

- Is there enough there to keep the 30k Vita momentum?
- Does the PS3 lineup have a chance at overshadowing PS4?
