2014 will be another year of awful droughts.

Between DK, Smash, Kart, Bayonetta 2, X, and Yarn Yoshi, and whatever other games they haven't announced yet, there's virtually zero chance of a 2013-level drought recurring.

Yarn Yoshi isn't listed as 2014 but even if we say it is they'd still have to release five (six if you include MH in EU) unannounced games just to match the number of Nintendo published games from this year.

Yarn Yoshi was shown back in January 2013, and it's not the kind of game that takes years to make.

And there will very likely be 2014 Nintendo games we don't know about yet.

 Not to mention we were told a trailer was ready for last years E3 (2012). Nintendo doesn't have a trailer ready for a game that is still 3 years away from being complete.


Are you sure? Skipping this years E3 seems totally bizarre then.

This may be the same answer, but I need to ask. Some people are wondering will we see a new Zelda - a new 3D Zelda for Wii U. Is there any new Zelda news?

We're also working on a new Wii U Zelda game. That's coming along; work on that is progressing fairly concretely. In fact, we were thinking of showing it here at E3 but decided to wait just a little bit longer before showing it to everyone.

That's just this year though. Apparently it has been ready since 2012, which would change a lot. Means they're a year ahead in development than what I thought.

Think of this. Mario 3D world wasn't announced until 6 months before release. Nintendo can show the game at E3 and have it out for Christmas. They seem to be pretty good at not announcing things early.


*looks at X*

 

and i agree, Zelda wont release in 2014.


Nintendo makes x?

skyward sword was announced in 2010, 1.5 years before release. just like zelda U could be shown this year and will probably release in 2014. it's also interesting to see people thinking this is a holiday title only. as in: if it doesn't release in 2014 holiday, it will only release in 2015 holidays. no sense.

Teased at E3 2009.

Monolith Soft is a first party Nintendo studio now.

I feel Kinda stupid. I thought they were just publishing it like W101 and Bayo.



I think so too, it will be released in the fall of 2015. But I hope that I might be wrong, because the earlier the better from my point of view. :)
