The problems isn't that Mario Kart is coming out in May.

The problem is that Nintendo has nothing coming out for March and April.

How do you know that? and how do you know they havent dont it now? you dont really know. FYI i really hope they didnt enlist help for MK7 cause that game was...yeah. DOnt think Watchdogs will come out in April.

Even in HD, on new hardware, I simply don't believe a cartoon Kart racer has to take two and a half years to make, particularly when Nintendo could have put more devs on the job. I never played 7, so I can't comment there.

If Watchdogs doesn't, then something had better drop in March or April, or its just gross mismanagement by Nintendo.

I really doubt Watch Dogs will be released soon.I bet we´ll only see it sometime during Q3 or Q4.

As for Nintendo, they have already proven how badly they have been managing things in this generation.It still amazes me how shitty their preparation for the Wii - Wii U transition has been, how behind the curve they were with HD development when everyone else had already figured it out.


this, i dont know why people are shocked. It is what it is, we gotta accept it and i would hope people dont ONLY have a Wii U.

I thought you were saying they had no choice, now you're agreeing with someone who, like me, is blaming piss-poor management, and saying it could have been avoided?


Oh i never said they didnt have piss poor management or sucking at this whole HD thing. Here is where we are disagreeing...I DO think they are doing the best they can. Make of that what you will.

Ah. That's where we differ, I think they could do better if the re-allocated their teams, or just plained pushed harder.

is it really that black and white? I dont think it is. Otherwise they would have done something about it. And if it IS that black and white they are dummies. I hope they are NOT dummies.

Thankfully we don't know this for a fact yet. I fully except a new ND video soon, and I suspect that at least one of those other already confirmed 2014 games, such as perhaps Yarn Yoshi, or maybe even some surprise we don't yet know about, will be announced for at least ONE of those months. Nintendo knows they can't really afford "drought" anymore. DKCR2 comes out in late Feb, so technically some will likely count that as covering March. But really, they do need at least one more MINOR title in between the releases of DKCR and MK8.

Short of promoting the shit out of Shovel Knight (which I'd be perfectly fine with), I have no clue what Nintendo could pull out of their ass. :/

Sooo… About that unbeatable Wii-U 2014 lineup?..

There's still many games that are/should be coming out. Just because there is a two month drought doesn't mean the rest of the year isn't going to be good. *Cough* 3DS *Cough*

Still, this is bad planning. Mario Kart 8 should've been done for April.

 I'm just talking specifically for the Wii-U. In no way am I saying that what Nintendo has releasing this year for the console is bad; I just don't see it as the super duper amazing thing that will put the console ahead of the competition. Personally, I think the PS4 has a far stronger lineup for 2014 (Infamous, The Order, DriveClub, GT?, MLB, Diablo 3, Planetside 2, FFXIV, and all the third party/ indie titles). Not to mention that I can only see SSB, MK8, and maybe X (if that even sees release in 2014) being the only games of the lineup that really push console sales.
