Of course. Having 2 major titles, Zelda and Mario, would help the NX quite a lot in 2017. There's also Mario Kart. Who knows when that's coming out!

Well MK8 was launched in 2014, best guess is that we will have MK9 in 2018.

Initially I thought Nintendo was going to continue releasing MK games every 3 years ( 2005-2008-2011-2014-2017?), so who knows. Maybe it's going to be at the NX reveal?

My quess is Mario NX (Mario maker 2 or Upgrade) for post launch and MK NX for holiday 2017 for the big hitters.



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

Now they need only one MK game per generation, and 3 years is definitely too short.

That's a good point! MK9 in May 2018, for example, does many sense.

Hopefully the merging of their divisions will help make things easier in terms of communication and getting games done on a more consistent basis.

Not only that handheld and home divisions are merged now, but its fair more important than Nintendo basically have only one platform to support.

Yea, developing for two different consoles probably took a toll out of them, especially when HD is more complex, time consuming, and expensive.

They need a heavy hitter besides Zelda for holiday 2017. People who want it for Zelda will buy right away, but great holiday sales will need something to entice those for whom Zelda wasn't enough.

I'm actually not really that concerned about NX's software library at all. It wouldn't surprise me much if it has one of the better 1st year lineups for a Nintendo system ever. Lets look at 3 reasons.

1.) Unifying the library will channel all their dev teams onto one platform, Nintendo releases like 20+ games per year, and usually at least 2/3 of those are of a fairly good quality.

2.) Because the NX doesn't appear to be a full generation upgrade from Wii U, but more like a portable Wii U++, Nintendo's developers are going to be able to get the hang of developing on the NX fairly easily if we're talking a Tegra X1 tier chip. They're just now getting into the swing of making HD Wii U games, the transition to the NX will be easy for them.

3.) Lets be honest, likely a lot of Wii U development was curbed/nixed in favor of the NX. Not just Zelda, we're probably talking a "real" Animal Crossing, another 3D Mario platformer, a second Retro Studios game, etc. that were supposed to be on the Wii U that got diverted to the NX a while ago. These games as a result will end up showing up early in the NX life cycle because Nintendo pulled resources from the Wii U a while ago.

It's not just a matter of quantity though, the software also needs to be compelling, not New Super Mario Bros HD or party game #3871, etc.
