Not bad, hopefully they can release these games within a month of each other so these droughts don't feel so long.

I remember the N64 drought feeling really bad but that is nothing compared to the Wii U drought sadly because we had companies like Rare and Iguana filling the gaps with amazing games with excellent replay value inbetween the Nintendo heavy hitters. Even Konami helped here and there(although the 3d Castlevania games were not great by any means!).

I totally agree. Atleast n64 had shadowman, turok,quake, etc plus all those rare games. This list is shockingly bad. I think maybe nintendo need to stop flogging a dead horse after 2015.

Winback, Quake II, WCW vs NWO Revenge(multiplayer!!), Turok II(even the original was great for almost a launch title), Hyrbid Heaven(nothing special but certainly innovative), Extreme G series, Beatle Adventure Racing, Body Harvest(the original open world game??), Duke Nukem Zero Hour and so many more third party exclusives back then compared to Nintendo's future consoles.

I reckon Zelda has about a 75% of releasing this year. If it doesn't, Animal Crossing U will likely take its place as their holiday game.


If they plan to do Animal Crossing really well wouldn't that take awhile to make though? I mean you don't usually get a big game revealed with no teaser or rumours prior and have game released within a few months. We knew about 3D World, DKCTF was delayed, Captain Toad was a small game and didn't release in EU/AU until the New Year...

They've hinted at Animal Crossing:

Animal Crossing is not as a strong game as a Smash, MK8, or Legend of Zelda. If you ask me, it's a little bit of a let down compared to those franchises :-/. Although it debuted on the GC... It's console releases are rather weak compared to it's handheld reiterations:

1 Animal Crossing: Wild World DS 2005 Simulation Nintendo 2.48 3.41 5.33 0.87 12.08
2 Animal Crossing: New Leaf 3DS 2012 Action Nintendo 1.58 1.69 4.02 0.34 7.63
3 Animal Crossing: City Folk Wii 2008 Simulation Nintendo 1.81 1.11 1.32 0.36 4.60
4 Animal Crossing GC 2001 Simulation Nintendo 1.92 0.16 0.99 0.09 3.15

That's almost 20 million combined for Handhelds compared to 7-8 million on consoles. Even on the Wii it failed to make 5 million.  Releasing AC as a top gun for the holidays is just setting the Wii U for even more failure. BUT it as a SECONDARY selling game with Zelda U being the main attraction might be enough for a better Xmas than last years.

Here's hoping every Ninty fans gut feeling of Zelda being delayed is dead wrong... :P

I feel either zelda or star fox will be hit with the delay machine and fall into 2016

I really hope Zelda U won't get delayed! Waiting for that game to come out is already painful enough!

That's the thing though, Nintendo have done an atrocious job of selling the Wii U so far, so it's entirely likely, based on their recent past, that they may make even more stupid decisions going forwards.

Don't get me wrong, I'd be deeply disappointed if they wasted their time and resources on a Wii U Animal Crossing. But hey, they did it for Tropical Freeze; a great game, but one that nobody asked for.

I still think Zelda will most likely come out this year, but it's by no means a lock.
