Zelda and Smash are more or less confirmed. I wonder what else could get ported.

Agreed. Nintendo needs to pull out all the stops with NX if they're going to have a chance. No more half-measures and dragging their feet. If they don't nail this one and come out guns blazing, they'll be third party by 2019.

Yeah they're coming mid-generation into this whole thing too thanks to the trainwreck the Wii U was. 

So they can't afford to just take their time and ease into this generation. Sony and MS are already both in mid-cycle form with a massive library headstart, massive userbase head start, massive mindshare head start, etc. etc. etc. 

Nintendo needs to freaking come out swinging, not hanging back and waiting to get punched in the face 3 or 4 times before they realize the bell rang a minutes ago. 

And I think Nintendo knows this too, I suspect the NX will be heavily front loaded with a lot of their bigger franchises earlier in the cycle than what happened on the Wii U. 

You really can't compare Smash Bros Wii and Smash Bros Wii U with Uncharted 2 and Uncharted 3. What's point having 3 Smash games, it doesn't make any sense.

Like I wrote, they can easily include some new stages and characters in NX version, maybe some from previus Smash games.

Of Course, and that's why there is no any sense to bother with GC and Wii version when Wii U version is better in any way.

Ports/remasters don't require large teams, let alone 1st party developers. They have outsourced a lot of projects for the Wii U and they could easily have those same companies take care of the ports. The Nintendo devs are freed up like normal.

 I think one has little to do with the other.

We've never had a 3-D Zelda launching under these circumstances where it would actually be possible to.

Having all the stages and characters from all the Smash games doesn't make sense? I think it makes a lot of sense. I have Smash U with all the DLC, I wouldn't buy it again on NX, but add that in and it becomes a much broader compilation and they could even impliment different play styles from each of the installements as they all play a little differently. 

The U version is not considered the best by a lot of people, by the way. Actually what I'm saying though is not a port, I'm saying one game that has ALL those stages and characters available right from the get go in one massive new game, not "oh I'm going to switch now to Smash Melee from Smash U". 

Thing about Smash 4 is that Sakurai said he is tired from Smash Bros and he is not sure if he will work on any other Smash game ever again, so we will not see new Smash Bros game next couple of years, Smash Bros is game that is old only year and half, at end of this year it will be old only two years, also Smash Bros 4 is like definitive Smash Bros games, its biggest Smash game buy far. So it make sense to port Smash to NX, especially if they include all 3DS content, DLCs and some new content. We already had solid rumour saying that Bandai Namco is working on Smash Bros 4 port for NX.

Point is that Nintendo doesn't think 3D Zelda games needs 60fps and thats why they never done 3D Zelda in 60 fps, and we had similar circumstances with TP.

They can't really even do the "it's 1080P now!" thing for a NX remaster of Smash U ... because the Wii U version already runs at 1080p, lol.
