Sadly I think Star Fox is exactly the type of project Nintendo probably isn't going to touch on the Wii U anymore with these sluggish sales. Not really a great outlook to make a profit. Maybe 3DS. 


Has to be Wii U and it has to make a more bassy cover of this awesome original:

Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.

He didn't mentioned what kind of games we'll be getting. You can forget the high quality third party games Nintendo doesn't care about, but fortunately you can buy new NES games for 5 bucks each week! And of course there are indie-games you finish within 3 hours.


Heheheheehhheh



Yep.

No, they didn't show new footage of Yarn Yoshi which means it isn't coming anytime soon. Might not even be in 2014. Bayonetta will release in summer but only in Japan. The West will probably be somewhere in November... 

I even doubt we'll ever see Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem.

Okay thanks. So worst case scenario is that the only Wii U exclusive before Q4 will be MK8.

Difficult HD development, a focus on 3DS and the lacking third party titles have been quite devastating... :(

Not commenting on what i think of your predictions, but have insight on another factore.

It's scary that bascially every game that the Wii U has going for it is 100% Nintendo game.  Bascially 0 3rd parties.

But in the same sense, how in the hell does someone who calls themselves a GAMER not have a Wii U?  Seriously if they don't get a Wii U, then they miss out on all of those games you listed plus the many games already out and for 2015 that are 100% EXCLUSIVE.

How a gamer can have a PS4 or One, or BOTH and not have a Wii U just baffles me.

I got a wiiu and i baffled my self why the hell i have it casue im not intrested in all the games ninty fans get all wet for.  Im debating selling it or will X be worth it and a new zelda come some time this gen.  Where is Metroid Zelda Pokemon RPG, out of all that only X is interesting. 

Actually owning all 3 consoles 2 are damn near useless right now and only PS4 is actually getting gamed on.  I see no reason why any real gamer as you say needs a wiiu or x1 right now, im just a tech fool and needed the shiniest new gadgets.... though useless they may be.

So its not baffling at all, most gamers are just not intrested in what ninty offers.

I agree but because of no future 3rd party I think a lot of people (at least here in the UK) are waiting for those 5-6 must haves before buying.

Nintendo could really improve on assuring that those titles are on their way by giving more solid release dates. Understandably some of my friends fear that those must haves end up releasing in 2015/2016 or getting cancelled or moved to the next Nintendo console.

 

Regarding every game being 100% Nintendo and no 3rd party is indeed scary. Nintendo has to go all in providing their next console with great specs, x86 architecture and an ordinary controller. Nintendo + every 3rd party game is hard to beat.
