Let's not lose the original question (we could nitpick about the budgets required for AAA, AA, etc)...
The OP is asking whether Zelda will be the final big Nintendo title to hit Wii U.

Itwata and Reggie have stated many times that they are committed to Wii U owners and if history shows anything they usually make good on these types of promises even when it comes to their own detriment. Many of the other posters even stated that it doesn't cost nearly as much for Nintendo to develop one of their big titles as it does your Ubisofts/EA's of the world. They will be able to keep costs down which ultimately is one of the advantages of developing for your own hardware. Expect to see at least 2 big name games in 2016 and perhaps 2017 as well.

Yup, that's exactly the point of this thread! And I hope we'll see 2 more big games from Nintendo as well. I'm just worried because Wii U is performing below mediocre in sales so Nintendo may just save any of the big games for 2016-2017 for the next console's launch window and fill the remaining years of the Wii U with smaller titles like Yoshi's Woolly World and Splatoon.

Now I wouldn't mind getting more of these smaller title games if they look as fun as Yoshi and Splatoon, but it wouldn't hurt to have more bigger games in the mix. People brought up Pokken Fighter/Tournmanet, which I completely forgot about so there's still hope. In retrospect, I should have asked if that's the last big Nintendo title for the Wii U

The real problems are the childish image, the lack of 3rd party support, the overpriced system and the tablet controller. And of course the extremely weak and outdated hardware compared to PS4 and X1.

I hope that Nintendo will anounce a new system at E3 and launch it in 2015, along with an enhanced version of Zelda U and Mario Galaxy 3.

Sheesh....the idea of splitting hairs regarding what is A, AA, and AAA makes me squeamish.

I'm pretty sure the OP just wants to know if there are any major titles after Zelda. I don't see how Nintendo could possibly not have a Metroid title in the works. I don't know if Retro is the one working on it, but it just seems like a no-brainer. I don't think it'll be an amazing seller or move a ton of consoles...but I think it would go a long way to solidifying the fanbase. I honestly think that if they release that title this generation it would excuse them if they abandon the system prematurely...and that's an important point that many people fail to mention when advising Nintendo to dump the WiiU and start over again.

So we've got Metroid...I wouldn't be surprised to see Animal Crossing and a few more remasters. I also wouldn't be too surprised to see more 3DS releases make appearances on the system, like Mario vs Donkey Kong will be doing.

AAA is quality/production value NOT budget.

Seriously what do you think grades mean? F/6 is worst A/1 is usually the best and everything else is just marketing nonsense.


And NO B-Movie does not mean  low budget movie. Low budget is a side effect of hiring not so famous  actors and not so good writers etc when you want to make a not so important movie. Its like letting your substitutes play your football match for you because you know  the prime team is not needed.
(btw in Germany goods incl. food are also divided into specific categories  1A derived from latin/spanish  PRIMERA means first choice. NOT it costs X money to grow that cucumber.)

In theory a B movie can be as expensive as a A-tier movie its just that the actors usually accept less money for doing the same thing.


So to me Nintendo is "AAA" and most of the others are not even close.  Well scratch that Nintendo is S-class the rest can keep their A's  xD

I'm sure there will be more. Just because we don't know about them yet doesn't mean they don't exist. We didn't know about Captain Toad Treasure Tracker until E3.

I don't see Nintendo wasting a Zelda game on a console that they're not 100% behind. I think the Wii U will keep churning out surprises for the next couple of years.

Metroid Wii U, Animal Crossing Wii U (Both will be system sellers)

I have a feeling there will be quite a few surprises at E3 due to Miyamoto saying they have lots of surprises for us in games regarding the Wii U.

Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem and Pokken Tournament (which is inevitably coming to Wii U) also might move some consoles.

I do not expect Nintendo's next console, which may or may not be the "unified home/portable" idea, basically expanding on the Wii U/GamePad concept (which is just fine with me), to come out until 2017.

Supposing that is true, I do fully expect 2016 to be full of Wii U releases, and we (hopefully) sure to get at least one or two "big" titles still from Nintendo themselves, as well as many smaller ones, and second/third party games.

There is still hope/possibilities for: A Wii U Animal Crossing, a new Wave Race, a new F-Zero, a new Chibi Robo, some kind of (hopefully not shitty) Metroid title, the obligatory Mario Sports title of some kind (though it would be neat if they'd have Camelot do something else for Wii U), whatever projects by Retro/Monster Games/Next Level, and of course, I think at least, another 3D Mario.

But who knows really.

Unlikely. I'm sure there'll be another 2 or 3 big titles next year (which I believe to be the last full support year for the Wii U).
