Thats kinda bad. Is the Wii U going to cross another 6 month desert? *shrugs*

Not really. It'll have TPHD, Genei Ibun Roku #FE and Pokkén during this semester. But yeah, hopefully the delay doesn't take that long.

 

Would love it if Genei came out in the first semester, but i'm not betting on it. I guess there is Zelda and Pokkén becomes the spring game i guess. Starfox is the summer game and Zelda the fall game.

 

True, it might come just on the 2nd semester. But let's hope for the best!



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

If if needs delayed, delay it. Platinum is the only shining light in the black abyss of third parties.

LOL

What do you mean with this? Are the rest of 3rd parties worthless?

More like the only one supporting Nintendo, although, their support is exclusive because Nintendo fundings and Nintendo properties.





Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

When it comes to what was released worldwide for Nintendo, yes. If Nintendo didn't pay for it, games either never came or were gimped.

It's about spacing. When you have as few releases per year as Nintendo does this gen, it makes more sense to pace them consistently than to fart them all out at once followed by months of nothingness.

4 games in 3 months followed by E3 get that covered. we'll see more games announced even if they're small.

Which 4 games?

At the moment, the official dates are:

Twilight Princess HD: 4th March

Pokken: 19th March

Starfox: 22nd April

That's 3 games in 2 months.

Nintendo have never indicated that this is the case.

Platinum isn't exclusively developing for Nintendo, though. In fact, I think they've got something currently being made exclusively for all three platforms.

The reason people question whether Platinum is spread too thin currently is because of this:

Star Fox Zero (Wii U)
Project Guard (Wii U)
Nier: Automata (PS4)
Scalebound (XB1)

Not to mention the new Ninja Turtles game that is all but confirmed that is basically guaranteed to be on at least PS4, Xbox One, and PC, if not PS3 and 360 as well like Transformers: Devastation.

Chances are, SMT x FE will be coming whenever the dryest part of the year is in order to draw attention to it. Sales in Japan haven't been bad, in fact, I'm sure they're basically on par with expectations. What that means though is that sales haven't been all that impressive the past three weeks since launch, what should be one of the strongest sales times for a game (source: Wikipedia). If Japan isn't falling all over it, you can guarantee reception here will probably be about on par with a Dragon Quest release, for a numbers reference, if the game releases during one of the only high activity periods of release the Wii U will experience all year.

Combine that with the fact that Nintendo is still slow as hell about localizing in an age where near simultaneous region releases is actually becoming more of an expected standard, and I wouldn't expect the game in the first half of 2015. I would expect a late summer release, with the release date announced around March or maybe as late as E3.

Even then, I wouldn't count on the game to pull off much. The SMT fan base is really spread out and is likely primarily focused on the ever delayed Persona 5, while the Fire Emblem audience is basically entirely on the 3DS at this point.

there could be a number of reasons for the delays. when miyamoto said that, it probably was possible to finish it within a year, but isnt he working on other projects too? you dont know what is going on behind the scenes. 

I'm sure that Platinum is working on too many games at once (Starfox, ScaleBound, Nier...) to be allowed to release on schedule. But Soundwave is right, Nintendo is still very slow when developing HD games, so putting all of their eggs in the same basket will be the only way to give that basket enough value.

They are also working on Ninja Turtles.
