Honestly, this game and Mario Kart before March 31 is the only way Wii U has a chance of meeting its 9m fiscal year goals.


i think we can throw that 9m by end of fiscal year right in the trash. I seriously doubt Smash will be out before april or they would have said something, hell they would have shown that at VGX instead of DKC, so the fact they havent means its not ready...or it is and they are stupid.  Even if they did I imagine the 3ds version will eat into some sales granted they release the same date.

It doesnt sound like you have any concrete evidence to say it was rushed. For all we know they could have been working on the game since they started working on the GC as a concept. It didnt look or feel rushed because it probably wasnt rushed.  We've been gaming long enough to tell if a game was rushed or not. But we might have to agree to disagree on this point.

Not disagreeing with that, i just dont think thats really a good thing, especially since many consider the GC to have the weakest library of Ninty 1st party titles on a home console (not me)

smash brothers was a new franchise released in 1999. certainly, they waited a few months to measure it's sucess and flash the blue light for a sequel. that means melee took less than two years to develop.

a year and a half? cause i wouldnt consider that rushed either. 1 year? borderline anything less sure. but i doubt it.

OR DKC is the next big game out (feb) and they're waiting for a January ND to blow the lid off a mid/late March SSB release.

However, yes I agree that the 9m will be greatly reduced.

more than 2 years isn't a short time, especially with namco helping. and the 3ds version isn't much more than a graphical downgrade with different stages.

it isnt more that two years though, as production didnt start till the beginnng of last year. But its almost two years so that is a good amount of time. especially since they are not doing a crappy story mode, ill still believe it when i see it ive already been let down by this series and dont want to get my hopes to up

it started development after kid ikarus uprising. so, yeah, more than 2 years.

Dont buy it. Why wouldnt they show SSB at VGX where that would have been a PERFECT game for that audience. DKC comes in Feb? so what we've seen enough of that game that it didnt even need to be at VGX we know what it is, we know how it plays. Hell we barely seen Smash for either system in comparison, unless you considered 2 gameplay trailers and slow reveals to be adequate coverage. ANd smash is bigger than DK by a long shot.

Alongside Mario Kart 8.

This is 100% rumor right now, so please take it as just that. According to Nintendo’s German general manager, the firm is looking to release two of their biggest games in the Spring: Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros for Wii U.  

“For next spring two more big license games are also announced for our TV console with Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros.” 

Die Wii U konnte bisher nicht an den Erfolg ihres Vorgängers anknüpfen. Woran liegt das?

FAKESCH: Die Wii U ist beim Start in der Tat hinter unseren Erwartungen zurückgeblieben. Allerdings war unsere Erwartungshaltung, nach dem phänomenalen Erfolg von Wii, auch sehr hoch. Im Vergleich zu allen bisherigen Konsolen schneidet Wii U aber ganz gut ab. Zum Vergleich: Für gewöhnlich setzen neue Konsolen in ihrem ersten Jahr 200 000 bis 300 000 Exemplare ab. In ähnlicher Größenordnung bewegt sich Wii U, so dass wir faktisch von einem soliden Start sprechen können. Hinzu kommt, dass wir mit unserem Spieleangebot bisher eher Nintendo-Fans und damit eher die klassischen Spieler bedient haben. Zu Weihnachten wollen wir nun mit Titeln wie Wii Party U, Wii Sports Club, Wii Fit U und allen voran natürlich Super Mario 3D World die klassische Nintendo-Familie für die neue Konsole begeistern. Für nächstes Frühjahr sind außerdem mit Mario Kart8 und Super Smash Bros. zwei weitere große Lizenzspiele für unsere TV-Konsole angekündigt.

February: DKC Tropical Freeze

March/April: Mario Kart 8

April/May: Super Smash Bros U

August: Monster Hunter 4

October: X

November: Zelda U

fixed that for ya.

No way they have Bayonetta 2 ready for next month.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

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

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Do you honestly think Nintendo would waste such a great game on that crap of a show. The DKCTF stunt was deliberate. And it worked to Nintendo's advantage. Super Smash Bros 4 and MK8 will be shown at Nintendo Directs only!

Well now. If THAT doesn't save the Wii U, NOTHING will.
