The list is pathetic, but hey this has been the wii u's story since day 1.

Why does Nintendo like to be secretive when it comes to their release dates?

They get people to talk... Bad about them. Hopefully there will be a Direct as some of you have said.

Nintendo releases their games when they are really done, not in a obvious beta state like other companies do. Since playtesting and debugging can take quite some time just as much as being over very fast depending on the game and the state of the initial code, setting a release date more than 3 month in advance is actually a very unpractical thing to do and just contributes to games being rushed, unfinished and/or buggy at release date.

However, Nintendo does wait a little too long before announcing release dates. This might be due to all the delays Wii U games went through during the first year and can be their way to avoid them altogether. After all, something that never got a release date can't be too late to meet the schedule.

Which one is the big game :P

Honestly, while I think 2015 should be better for the Wii U in terms of games the first half is horribly lacking games. Of course the same can be said for the Xbox One and PS4 but at least they have some decent 3rd party stuff =/ Looks like my Wii U will be used for mainly Smash till fall of 2015.

Wait for the inevitable January Direct


What do you think?If there will be a direct in jan,we will get new3ds/xl release date from it?


Ya most likely, I'm betting on late February or March. I'm 99.99% sure that it's gonna come before the end of the fiscal year to help Nintendo reach their shipment goals. I could see January Direct looking something like this

3DS

New 3DS announcement+release date

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

Codename STEAM

Majora's Mask 3D

Fossil Fighters

Wii U

Kirby Rainbow Curse

Yoshi's Woolly World

Mario Maker

Splatoon

Maybe a couple more announcements for either 3DS or Wii U, but I think the first half of the year lineup will look something like this.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Wow, that's bad. I guess I won't be using the Wii U for a few months then.

As it stands right now the line up is pretty weak BUT there is a high chance they will announce release dates for other games and maybe even a surprise or two (I hope).
