Maybe nothing at all. Maybe Animal Crossing. Maybe Star Fox. I don't know.

People are blowing the NX out of proportion. It was simply a confirmation from Nintendo that they are indeed working on actual video game hardware (which was necessary after their mobile announcement).
We all know Sony and Microsoft are working on their next gen machines as well. It's really no different. I don't expect Nintendo to abandon the Wii U ship until 2017 at the very earliest.

Yes but Sony has a ten year plan and Microsoft copied theirs to keep in competition. It gives a larger amount of gamers room to enjoy the consoles and recoup funds while companies profit. Iwata has already admitted that many people see the Wii U as a secondary console. They need to get in good with third party or else. I am very confused with their movement thus far. What frustrates me is that I want to invest in them. I am trying.
| Soundwave said: Said it many times before -- it will be an Amiibo Universe type title ... a full hub Amiibo game. IMO it will be for both the Wii U and 3DS too and will expand over time to include other IP. Things like that Kirby game and Mario Party are selling like crap too ... they need some new central Amiibo title. |
Someone doesn't actually follow *current* sales. Kirby has been slow but steady, trending in Amazon's top 100 for a month after launch and still drifts in and out. So it's not tanking. And Mario Party has been high on those charts since over a week before launch, it's selling exactly like a Mario Party title usually does, which is a solid performance.

Until I hear a confirmation that NX is their next handheld and isn't supposed to substitute the Wii U, I won't feel good about the Wii U. So far its future seems very, very dim and despite some awesome games that are coming, has the most question marks above it. Its future is less clear than Vita's :-/
It's obvious other companies work on their next consoles, but there is a reason why Sony and MS aren't talking about it, aren't dropping names of their future consoles, etc. It's not like Nintendo did this in best years of Wii either.
Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!
My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/
My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

You're kidding, right? Hyrule Warriors was announced 8 months before release. Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker was announced at E3 2014 and released by the end of 2014. Zelda: LBW was announced in April 2013 for a November release. Mario & Luigi: Dream Team was announced in February 2013 and released in July. Nintendo announced Wind Waker HD in January 2013 and it was out by September. Mario Party: Island Tour was announced in April 2013 and released in November. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze was announced at E3 2013 and was planned at that time for release in December (it subsequently got pushed back to February). Similarly, Mario Golf: World Tour was announced in February 2013 for a second-half release (it got delayed to 2014, though). But let's look at a few of the extreme cases. Majora's Mask 3D was announced in November 2014 and released in February - that's just three months. NES Remix for Wii U was announced in December 2013... and released on the same day! Its sequel was announced in February 2014 and released in April, two months later. Kirby: Triple Deluxe was announced in October 2013 and released (in Japan) in January 2014. Pokemon Battle Trozei was announced in February 2014 for release in March. Nintendo's habit of keeping a heap of things close-to-the-chest hasn't changed this gen at all. They've always revealed some things early, and some things late. There's always a few big surprises, like LBW, DKC:TF, or Majora's Mask 3D. To think that won't be true this year, especially after Iwata explicitly said there were unannounced games for 2015 last month, is just bizarre. |
OH!!!! That's some good info! Thanks for sharing!
Pocky Lover Boy!

I can see Nintendo making a price-cut with a holiday game which hasn't been announced yet.

WTF... Do you have a source?
I would love it if it was Metroid. I do hope they dont delay Xenoblade X just to have a christmas title...
