I guess I shouldn't assume Ninty will not keep their current release schedule. I find it hard to believe Ninty will stick to their old scheduling because there is no need to do that with a unified line up. Ninty had to do those things to build momentum for their plats. Ninty could easily space major Mario titles out with a unified plat.

I just hope they fill the inevitable Nintendo droughts with remakes of Wii U games, so NX won't be a repeat of Wii U. There are some wonderful games on that console that never got the attention they truely deserved because of the platform. A Xenoblade Chronicles X looking even better than what they showed during the first reveal would be a great magnet for core audience. They have over a year to push it to next level and possibly get even more sales than the Wii U original.

N should take a page from Sony porting The Last of Us and all the benefits that port gave them - not only decent sales, but also having a massive hit game to bundle with the console. They can start porting Wii U games day 1, since they are going for an audience that never owned a Wii U and couldn't experience these wonderful games.
They have to make sure that they release at least one first party game every single month - be it a new game or a Wii U remake. The usual suspects of Zelda NX, Metroid, SMG3, Animal Crossing, a party game, etc. should be supported by DK:TF, Bayo2, Zelda:WW, Smash, Mario Kart 8 (both with online shared with Wii U), etc. They should sprinkle new games with ports for the first 18 months, so that the release is jam packed no matter what 3rd parties do with their console.

PS. I bloody hope that NX will be more powerful than the PS4. Enough with these stupid shenaningans already. A game that runs 900p/30fps on Xbone and 1080p/30fps on PS4 should run 1080p/60fps on NX and we would have a winner. With the extra time and advanced technology there is no excuse for Nintendo at this point.

I personaly would love Diddy Kong Racing.

That would be terrible launch, and even worse 1st year.

Releasing currently one of the most wanted Nintendo games in January!?

Not gona happen.

Yea, keep dreaming.

Nintendo is making money even with Wii U.

NX will maybe have BC or Nintendo will simply port Wii U games to NX if there is no BC, there will not be Wii U remakes.

About software drouths, all that Nintendo talk about merging handheld and home consoles devisons and about that handled and home console will be like brothers and not completely separate like before, is to prevent software droughts. Basically they will make in some time game for handheld and home console, something similar like they done Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS.

I know but honestly I have no idea how many other Metroid fans are out there after so long, plus my release schedule is ment to make it so in the first 6 months Nintendo keeps delivering games so that most of the fans get a reason to buy the console :v

I think Zelda NX + Mario NX + Dragon Quest XI is the golden ticket 1-2-3 punch for Nintendo that will carry them through the launch window.

Normally only Mario would be there in this case, but if they are smart and move Zelda U to also be an NX game, that virtually assures them a good 1-2 combo for launch and gives them the luxury of moving Mario into 1-3 months after launch which will kill that dreaded post-launch drought and ensure good momentum.

DQXI is huge for Japan and will bring other Japanese support to the table like a snowball effect.

If it's true that Nintendo is really supposedly "doubling up their eSports" game, then they should release Melee HD with nothing changed if they were smart...
