I believe WiiU Party was Fall 2013 and Wiifit U was Winter 2013 so yes, they will be available by the time of the holidays.

As long as they are both in 2013, before Christmas, the Wii U will do fine to well this Holiday Season.

2 big platformers with 5 million+ potential could certainly shake them into competitiveness, along with a price cut (as PS4 is a bit close for comfort)


DK is also for this year?

I thought it was...

They did say it was this year.

So 2 platformers instead of the combo 3DMario-Mario Kart. OK.
Zelda is now confirmed to be 2015 at best, Smash for winter 2014 looks like. Well, everything is 2014 for them.

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

It'll suck. Nintendo just lost this gen. 3rd place confirmed.

Lol calm down dude. Nintendo Direct wasn't THAT bad. Nintendo doesn't have DRM xD

They don't have DRM and they ain't got any games for this holiday.... Mario 3D World? That's a damn 3DS game!!



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Yes, you better believe it. The sales will skyrocket.

That would mean a weak 2013 holiday, not a 3rd place this gen. You are still on the "nerd rage" phase. I agree that 3D Mario is by far one of the biggest disappointments that has ever come from Nintendo, but that alone doesn't make the company sucks.

I really don't see anything giving wii u a remarkable holidays. Competition is going to be fierce competing with not three ( wii, PS3 and X360) but FIVE home consoles. Not to mention Ghost and all the latest and greatest software on the new systems. It cannot even beat the competition it is up against now.

Wii fit sold because the consoles where already out there and the hype surrounding the wii. I believe wii u fit will follow the wii u poor sales as wii fit follow wii's gigantic sales.

As for DK.. an unknown. Could flop, could be great. I don't see it being a great system seller.

I am not dooming, just being realistic based on the way I see it.

Three if you count Sonic. Not first party, I know, but it's an exclusive.

From what I saw on GAF before it crashed again, all of the first party is not coming out this holiday. I suspect the Wii U to sell mostly to those who are ignorant of the few games coming out on it. Future does not look promising to me.
