Max King of the Wild on 29 April 2014

i didnt know there was speculation that it was going to 2015. it seems to be because they said winter at one point? if so thats weird wording. why not say "this holiday season"

"2014 will see the arrival of not one, but two new Super Smash Bros. games: Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. To commemorate this occasion, Nintendo is inviting 16 highly skilled Super Smash Bros. players to the NOKIA Theatre L.A. LIVE in Los Angeles to compete in a Super Smash Bros. for Wii U tournament. Thousands of fans in the audience and countless more watching a live stream online will see new Super Smash Bros. characters clash with existing favorites in action for the first time. More important than declaring a winner, however, this event is a celebration of all things Super Smash Bros., and a great way for new and veteran fans to take part in a tribute to this legendary franchise. More information about the 16 invited participants in the tournament, the identity of the announcers, and how fans of the franchise can view the tournament in person and via webcast, will be communicated shortly."

This should put an end to the speculation that "winter 2014" could mean some time in 2015.  Smash Bros. is coming to Wii U in 2014.


So they're not having a press conference, but they're renting out the NOKIA Theatre for a fucking Smash Tournament!?

Nintendo, you slick bastards.

Wait, so does this mean that there's going to be a live audience tournament? 

Yup.

Makes one wonder what the hell WiiU will have in 2015 and beyond, these (as well as the Mario games allready out) are Nintendos biggest guns.


I feel like you don't really know that much about Nintendo if you can't think of any games besides Mario and Smash Bros that they can release.  

Zelda isn't out yet, and there's still Metroid, and there are a few games they announced already that aren't out yet.  While these may not all be as big as Mario Kart or Smash Bros, it's weird to EXPECT there to be titles that keep 1-upping the next.  

System seller blockbusters. Zelda sure, I concede that. Metroid is niche however.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Just want to point out Metroid Prime.  I'm referring to a game like this.  While it may not be as popular outside the United States, it nonetheless has the potential to move more units.  

Also, you don't need system seller blockbusters to keep a system from flopping.  The way you worded it makes it seem like there would be a drought of nothing but games that don't matter.  Nintendo have plenty of IPs they can use to try and keep up the momentum (at least better than they have the first year of the Wii U).  There could end up being a Pokemon game on the Wii U (that Pokken Fighters that the Pokemon Company trademarked).

Obviously, I expect other big games.


Like what games?

Zelda, X, a game yet to be announced, maybe even third party exclusive...

yes. but regardless, nintendo always announces games at E3 that will be released in the same year. smash and X were announced a long time ago. there should be at least another 2 big announcements that will release in november/december.

I wouldn't call it niche.  But it's definitely not on the level of Smash, Zelda, Mario Kart, I'll give you that.

They won't release a big game near from another one.
