Forums - Nintendo - Predict 1st Party (or similar) NX's launch window games

That's rather normal though, they didn't make a big deal out of Splatoon at first either.

Honestly, this could outsell Zelda U, so it's understandable if Nintendo makes a big deal out of it.


Yeah they did.

I don't doubt that, but like they didn't talk up NSMBU, for example, as the second coming of Jesus when it was coming out. Sold well anyway. Same with NSLU.

Anyway if your list would come true then the NX would bomb hard as Nintendo would have learned nothing from this gen.


I'm honestly a bit curious, why do you think that? I mean I think the list is far from perfect but it seems most of the big hitters are there. 

It's pretty much the same games the Wii U got during it's first year. Also too many remasters on the list.

Basically. The remasters are what put me off. I mean I don't think that Nintendo even really considered remastering Smash. 

I'm honestly hoping that Splatoon broke new ground in getting Nintendo to create new and unique experiences for their platforms going into the future. 



It really depends on when it releases and what it is. If anything I'm fairly certain there's going to be a 3D Mario at release regardless.

I'm thinking, from the top of my head:

Launch Titles:
3D Mario
Zelda U NX port if 2016; Zelda TP HD if 2017
New IP by EAD

Launch Window:
Mario Kart 9
Retro Studios game (could be new IP as well, I'm not seeing them doing a Metroid or DK anymore)
Animal Crossing



2D Mario?? Why? I really don't see Nintendo work on another 2D Mario game for a long while due to Mario Maker.

Thought it would be fun to predict what would be available on NX for it first year so here's my prediction list!

November - December:

Zelda NX - EAD Group No.3

2D Mario - Nintendo EAD 

New Multiplayer Mini game -  EAD Group No. 2    

 

February:

Another Multiplayer Mini game - EAD Group No. 2   

 

April: Smash Bros for NX (remaster)- Sora Ltd 
August: Super Pokken Tournament - Bandai Namco 
October: Donkey Kong 2D or 3D - Retro Studios
November: Super Mario 2.5D or 3D - EAD Tokyo 
December:  Animal Crossing - EAD Group No. 2

I based the developers on who made the previous series installment. There also four EAD groups so one of those EAD no. 2 can be made by no. 1 or 4 since previous installments have been developed by different EAD groups before. Strangely New Super Mario Bros U was made by a non specific EAD group, at least according to Wikipedia. 

This would be pretty pathetic launch and on pair with Wii U, that said, after Wii U they need really strong launch, you cant have strong launch with 2D Mario and Multiplayer Mini Game, Wii U is proof of that.

 

I don't agree with your list almost at all expect Zelda U port and 3D Mario game.

I dont see 2D Mario game in first year, Smash Bros for NX remaster (or any Wii U remaster for NX), no Super Pokken Tournament, no Donkey Kong game in first year.

It seems like a pattern of every 3 years now.

2006-New Super Mario Bros.

2009-New Super Mario Bros. Wii

2012-New Super Mario Bros. 2/U

2015-Super Mario Maker

2018-Super Mario Maker 2????



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

For launch:
-Mario 3D game
-Diddy Kong Racing
-Zelda U port

First year:
-Pikmin 4
-Animal Crossing
-Luigis Mansion or something else from Next Level
-Maybe Metroid
- ....



I also wonder if we could see Retro's game launch with the NX or maybe come out after the launch window is over. I just wish we could know what they are working on!

I think that Retro game is almost certain for NX launch or NXs first year. Probably we will see it next year on E3.
