Going to be interesting to see the May and June NPD figures. Mario Kart 8 should have decent legs too.

It wouldn't surprise me if they have a couple of unannounced games to release in June and July to keep hardware sales momentum going until August when we'll probably see Bayonetta 2 and Hyrule Warriors being released.


Change that from "wouldn't surprise me" to "they had better have".

I'm one of the biggest N supporters you'll find, been a lifelong fan since the NES back in the 80s. BUT, they have also stumbled and bumbled more than once with this new system of theirs, a GREAT system that just needs 1. MORE GAMES, and 2. MUCH MORE ADVERTISING.

So yes, they had better have some "surprises" in store for the summer. Because nothing coming in June OR July (or even maybe August?), would be absolutely fucking unacceptable. MK8 is gonna have legs regardless, but Nintendo isn't stupid, and they have MANY games that have been "in the oven" for years, that SHOULD be ready to blow any time now (Bayonetta 2, Yarn Yoshi, etc.).

Before 2011 they weren't. Now they are colossal morons.

I bet you June and July are dry as Dry Bones' arse, except for maybe some measly virtual console placation.

There is no excuse not to have a game for between now and August, games like Bayo 2 and Yarn Yoshi should have been out already, yet Nintendo continue to drag their heels like an elderly turtle on anaesthetic.
