Next year then. :)


Your seriously think Zelda, Star Fox, Paper Mario, Metroid, F-Zero, Luigi's Mansion 3, Mario Sports games, Animal Crossing, traditional Kirby, Mario Galaxy 3, Pokken Fighters, and Kid Icarus Uprising 2 will all launch next year? Because if they do then that will be when Wii U is out of potential


Im talking about power and the power used to maximize the ability of their games, from your viewpoint potential must be exclusive to games itself. Sure they will be beautiful, but the WIi U will be used up by next year. The tech isnt much higher than last gens tech and that was drained in 2013.

And you're assuming potential just means power itself. I think potential will be a mix of games, power, and gameplay potential. It could last well into 2017 which would be a regular gen for any console.  That'd be a year and a half until E3 2016 to reveal what it is.

If Nintendo would just decide to localize everything there'd also be a flux in quality games like Fatal Frame, Monster Hunter Frontier, and Dragon Quest X. If that released 2015 along with LoZ, Xenoblade, Splatoon, and Star Fox it could be an incredible year. That would leave 2016 to bring in the revamped Devil's Third, Metroid, Fire Emblem, and Pokken Tournament, along with some other unannounced games, maybe a megaton exclusive (thinking Megaman Wii U). That line up could hype people along with the first sneak peak of the big N's next console. That would lead us into 2017 where they give us the cross gen Mario Universe, and the big Nintendo Amiibo game that justifies the figures and cards more than just costume downloads and free dlc. Then maybe Splatoon 2.0 with the use of 2 gamepads (that and the amiibo are two things that have not even begun, let alone reached their full potential).

2017 won't be so bad. With the console life cycles of the other 2, it would give the next Nintendo console 2 or 3 years before the other 2 launch their next consoles. Nintendo will be able to attract a following by then.

Because that worked so well for the Wii U...


It would have worked if it was more than a 1 year wait. But this time should work. People will wait a year, but when you're talking about a 3 year wait? Most will just get the thing.

I hope in "Wii D" in 2019 but... too much.

2017/2018 is more realistic.


Why so late? That makes no sense at all, the PS5 will be out by then.

2016 seems to be the correct time, with 2017 being the absolute latest.

Nah... i think that PS5 will coming in 2020.

You think the PS4 will last 7 years? Regardless of what Sony want I expect Microsoft to try and get out first, maybe in 2018 or so, Sony will then have to try and match that.

I agree with the X2 in 2018, but i still think that PS4 will coming in 2015...

Wii D: 2017-2018

XBOX TWO: 2018-2019

PS5: 2019-2020

That's not good. they dragged Wii along for years after it was out of potential.

Wii U isn't out of potential yet. If they get their shit together they could bring actual JRPGs to the console instead of damning them to a subpar existence on the 3DS.


subpar existence? 3ds has an actual install base to support that genre and the games actually sell alright. They are where they need to be.
