I don't see how it's such a big year for either, it seems in line with what they got for 2014/2015.

Wii U 2016-Twilight Princess HD, Star Fox Zero, Pokken Tournament, SMTxFE, Zelda U

Obviously both could get more titles, Pokémon Z seems inevitable along with some more localizations like SMTIV Final for 3DS and Pikmin 4 has been hinted at and could release for Wii U next year but for the most part next year seems to be a standard year for 3DS/Wii U releases.

I only see Zelda on that list tbh. This year was a bigger and more varied year. Having no multiplats makes you forget that Ninendo pumped out a lot more than people think exclusively though.

That still hurts the reputation of a game for being high-quality; we've had tons of games in the past couple of years that needed to be patched in order to be somewhat playable.

I'd rather wait so the game I finally get to play feels complete. Playing something that's buggy or unpolished can sully the experience of a good game.

there is a big difference between a game being made by a 3rd party studio and a 3rd party game. In the end those are still Nintendo games, but that is not going to make up for missing titles like Fallouts, Far Crys, CoDs, ACs, TRs, FFs, and so on. Thats what most and i think what he was alluding to...maybe.

Edit: i understand your argument, but even then its only Japanese 3rd parties and a few of them. 

Maybe it's because I'm european and I get YW and Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon next year, but I have way more interest in 2016 than 2015, almost everything I had interest in has been moved to that year.

I think its obvious, Wii U have so much must have games that every new owner is buying those games even if they are old 2-3 years, thats Nintendo games are having good legs, not mentioned that this gen with updates and DLCs they pushing older games, and of course every year instal base is bigger for few millions.

There is a big difference between no third party and no published third party. 

The same Nintendo that updates their games constantly...

No, not anymore.

2020 and let's wait if they are ready, if not, wait another 5 years. I mean, why to release? Every game released before a 10 year cycle is shit.

Updated the thread. As of December 12th Wii u software sales are 21m for the year. It might even do better than 2014 by the end of the year so that crazy considering the games this year just weren't as big as last year.
