Xenoblade is a niche game that will be lucky to break 1 million in sales.

Do we have anything that will be close to being considered a "Big" game?

Mario Maker

They are going to release in holidays:

- Star Fox Zero
- Xenoblade CX
- Mario Tennis Ultra Smash
- Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival
- SMT X FE (in Japan)

Even if they dont have one big hit, they still have a ton of games for a healthy holidays.

And before that, Mario Maker is going to be a BIG success.

Don't forget that they are releasing Yoshi and Fatal Frame 5 before the holidays.

Edited for Yoshi. FF5 nop, is too niche, but it could have decent sales for what it is.

Oh I thought you were listing games that were big in terms of interest more than sales (don't think SMT X FE is that big to be honest.) But yeah, the Wii U lineup this year looks great regardless.

Splatoon is their big game this year though, for lack of anything that could be considered greater.

Mario Maker?

SMT X FE could be relatively big on Japan.

Possibly, but as large as a Persona game is the best we can ask for, and Persona games are still not that huge in Japan, to be honest. Besides the original Persona (which sold about 420k) the next highest selling one was Persona 4 for the PS2 and it sold 360k. I'd expect Xenoblade X-like sales for SMT X FE.

The only games that im 'thinking' of buying in the next 6 months for the Wii U is Super mario maker, and the Mario tennis, since i love open on the 3ds. And im surprised how good the characters look in there.
