I only count 7 titles there. Frankly not much of an improvement, but still.

Also, with Mario Party 10 and Mario Maker, are you really hoping for another Mario game so soon?


Mario Party is by ND cube and Mario Maker seems like a very simple game to program coming out at the beginning of the year, Captain Toad can not be the only thing that Nintendo EAD (one that makes mario) is working on

NES Remix is also made by EAD Tokyo.

This is the kind of thread that everyone should tag.



"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."

Not really the point I was making. Afterall, what kind of Mario game are you looking for, when there is both a 2D and 3D Mario game on the system, the latter less than a year ago?

Don't question EAD Tokyo. This is like asking why anyone would want Mario Galaxy 2 when the Wii already had Mario Galaxy.

Some people would legitimately ask that question, which is unfortunate.

Watch as half of them gets delayed T_T

But seriously, I think Zelda will be delayed, I have a hunch

I don't get how people are saying that there will be a drought in 2015 for Wii U games that will be as bad or worse than the 2013/2014, I mean just from E3 alone it has an outstanding 2015, plus there is even announced games coming, hopefully a new Mario too, just from E3 we have in 2015...

Zelda 

Star Fox

Splatoon

Xenoblade Chronicles X

Devil's Third

Mario Maker

Yoshi's Woolly World

Mario Party 10

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse

Compare that to 2014: DK:TF, MK8, Smash, Bayonetta 2, Hyrule Warriors, and Captain Toad

Anyone saying there will be a drought in 2015 is simply bias, I think if they release all of these in orderly and planned dates, 2015 could be the Wii U equivalent of 3DS's 2013

Don't forget about the Major Remaster for a past game Nintendo is making. Could be for the Wii U. Fingers crossed it's Majora's Mask.

Aren't there 9 games?  Which one of us is having a counting problem?

Zelda will totally be delayed... 

Remember when Skyward Sword launched and they said they had plans to make a new one in 3 years?

Not a counting problem. See "titles".

I'm questioning him, actually. Galaxy 2 came out 30 months after Galaxy 1, but the proposed release window he suggests he's hoping for is a full 6 months shorter.

From a development perspective it would be pretty soon for another Mario game, but he is just hoping for a new EAD Tokyo game, as everyone should be at all times.
