It's better now as it's a realistic expectation!

In all honesty, I don't think I am being overly optimistic, just regular optimistic.

As of this moment in time we have seen the following unreleased Wii U titles: Smash, MK8, Bayonetta 2, X, Hyrule Warriors, Yarn Yoshi (please correct me if I'm wrong).

X is clearly 2015, Yarn Yoshi I suspect is cancelled.

That leaves 4 games for the rest of the year.

MK8 is obviously end of May, Bayonetta is summer in Japan (and probably around a similar sort of time EU and America), and Hyrule Warriors when we saw it in December was clearly barely running. That was pre-alpha footage.

We have all been assuming that Smash was the big winter game; but given that it is getting a dedicated Direct in April, that doesn't fit with an end of year release. Hence why I now think it'll be July or late August with a beta in the interim.

That essentially gives Hyrule Warriors and possibly Bayonetta in the west the sole responsibility for carrying what I think we can agree is the Wii U's most crucial sales period its likely to face.

My conclusion: Nintendo's big winter release is going to be unveiled at E3 (not unlike 3D Mario), and, given the unlikelihood of Retro having completed Metroid Prime 4 in 18 months, I think Zelda U is the strongest bet. After all, Miyamoto and Aonuma have both said that Zelda U could have been unveiled at last year's E3, but they decided against it.

Anyway, that's my thoughts. Which will inevitably be proven wrong BECAUSE NINTENDO WANTS ME TO SUFFER.

Just watch it when you're done!

The best thing is that maybe (hopefully) this points to a summer or fall Smash release. Well if that's the case, you need a big Christmas release, and a game like, I don't know, ZELDA would do the trick.
