Forums - Nintendo - what 08 games with nintendo announce/which will see release this year?

tastyshovelware on 11 March 2008

so, here we are in mid march and nintendo has continued to keep mum on it's fall 08 line up. in the US, we just got brawl and kart scheduled to see a release in april (still doubting that) and fit in may.


and then.... ?

there are two big events left for nintendo this year, e3 (july) and tgs (september). what games do you feel will be announced at or before these events, what games will actually see an 08 release, and what games do you see as real system sellers (as opposed to just good games.... ie: re:4 wii = great game, mario galaxy= system seller)? 

i think mario party 9, kid icarus, and pikmin have the best chance of seeing an 08 release.

i think star fox and f-zero will remain on the shelf for a while longer (possibly a great deal of time).

animal crossing won't make an 08 release, unless nintendo really half-asses it in terms of creating an online community.

zelda may be announced but will definitely not make an 08 release.

hopefully at least one brand new original IP will get announced.

i personally don't know if i would consider any of the above titles system sellers. then again, it may not really matter with wii sports still grabbing people's attention and the wii selling out everywhere.

Announce: Pikmin, Animal Crossing, Star Fox, Kid Icarus, possibly zelda

not sure which, if any, of those'd be released this year though, but something needs to come for the holiday season, so i dno

Is Kid Icarus really coming out or is this just speculation?

I want to see a cricket game announced. Don't think Nintendo will publish it but maybe EA or whoever released Ricky Ponting Cricket. On the Nintendo front I want to see a f-zero and a Mario Tennis game as well as a new Starfox game.

 speculation based on murmurs across the net.

i forgot, i wouldn't be surprised to see at least one new mario sports game (baseball, tennis, etc). also, stuff like brain age.

I don't know if Nintendo is going to have much of anything for this fall and winter other than what's already announced. Brawl was shown at E3 06 and came out in Spring 08. Mario Galaxy was shown at E3 06 and came out winter 07. Zelda was being shown for like two years before it appeared in Winter 06. Super Paper Mario was I think E3 2005(I could be wrong here) and came out Spring 07. Mario Kart was shown at E3 07 as was Wii Fit and both are arriving around Summer. I don't see anything major Nintendo would announce that would show up by the end of the year.

I think a smaller franchise or two could show an appearance. I would give a large bet on Pikmin hitting, possibly Animal Crossing and an original IP(maybe by n-Space).

The Wii actually has a heavy hitter coming this Fall called Wii Music. This title may or may not be quality, that's still on the table, but I will put good money on this title selling like hotcakes. There's also Disaster: Day of Crisis which will satisfy the more action/adventure hungry bunch. 

The thing is, the Wii has spread it's big titles out this year either on purpose(Mario Kart Wii and Wii Fit) or by happenstance(Super Smash Bros Brawl). I feel like this Fall will be a little thin on first-party offerings i'll like, but I'm hoping to be wrong.

I doubt Nintendo would be so careless as to leave the prime fall season without a couple blockbuster games.

Also don't forget, Nintendo changed their policy to no longer announce games years prior to launch. They want to only make announcements about 6 months prior to launch.

I expect Pikmin, Animal Crossing (launch '09), Kirby, Mario Baseball, MP9, Disaster: Day of Crisis, Wii Music, and one or two surprise announcements - Kid Icaris possibly and/or a WiiFit type surprise.
