Well E3 certainly changes a few things.. I'm just not sure what to change :S

Different sources are telling me different things..

Pikmin 3 is being developed by either EAD1 or EAD4. As EAD1 did the first 2 titles but I've been informed that EAD4 did the NPC! Titles. Therefore I've gone with EAD4 on the assumption that the majority of the original Pikmin team have probably gone here and doing the NPC! titles was a precursor to Pikmin 3 as a kind of experiment to see how the controls would work etc.

Also Wii Fit Plus is a cause of confusion. Some sources are saying EAD1 is doing Wii Fit Plus and some are saying EAD2 is doing it. Now the sources that say it's EAD2 also say that Wii Fit was done by this team which I'm quite sure isn't true. I'm pretty sure that EAD5 was made specifically for Wii Fit and was then disolved again. Anyone with more reliable information would be very much appreciatied :)

Updated with all the latest information..

EAD Tokyo worked on Flipnote Studio which leads to to think that Art Academy may be their post-Mario Galaxy title in the future.

I believe that EAD4 are working on Pikmin 3 and that New Super Mario Bros. Wii is the reason that development has slowed down for that title.

I believe that EAD1 is responsible for Wii Fit Plus but I think they may release a title in 2010 since their last release was Mario Kart Wii back in early 2008.


Any other information that people think should be added, please don't hesitate in letting me know. Keep in mind though that titles such as Cosmic Walker etc aren't being considered.

good update puffy :P

the annoying this is that the frnachises people want next, star fox and f-zero are really hard to track

F-Zero would be rather impossible for them to do at this point, unless they outsource it. Then the question becomes to whom, because Amusement Vision of GX fame was long since destroyed as part of the Sega-Sammy corporate restructuring (and either way, Miyamoto was reportedly displeased with what they had done)

Same goes for StarFox, really. If they want to do it, they have to outsource it. I mean, we're stretching the limits of speculation to figure out where Pikmin 3 fits in. Nowhere to go from here.

Or they could quasi-outsource both, as with Other M. Get staffers from some other team to do the gruntwork, and get supervisors in from the other SPD Groups.

indeed, thats why you never know when there going to do wii versions and whose going to do them. short of leaked info we really have no way of knowing the current status of star fox and f zero

F-Zero is a hardcore racing title unlike Mario Kart, Excite Truck, Excite Bots, and Need For Speed games it needs more precision to actually race, the wiimote its real good to feel like you are driving but it is not as precise as soft stick moves, i think we might see it now that Wm+ is out, but i dont think its an actual good game for the wii and i have serious doubts such a game is coming out on the Wii ever

On the other side, i can picture a F-zero on the DS, with nice N64 looking graphics, it would be a great game, maybe featuring something cool with the touch screen idk...

They could just open their mouths and actually tell us if they are making those games or not, that would be better wouldn't it? So much senseless secrecy. They are first party IP's. We don't even need a date, just a confirmation that they will be seeing the light this gen. I'm pretty disappointed with how they are handling their releases and announcements this gen. Along with the game localizing and PR statements.

They forgot how to keep the Nintendo fan pleased. Not that the games are bad, but now they aren't hyped anymore and we know nothing about their internal projects.

@woopah: Nintendo didn't announce any game on August 18th ;(

You should remove that from your sig.

nice list.

And yeah it's a shame there is no hype on nintendo games because of the secrecy... then again I prefer this to 5 year old announcements still waiting to release ^^.

also.... I think you forgot to erase a punch out in 2011. (then again, it could be nice for the DS :p since the buttons are fit for classic control).

No I actually just added Punch-Out!! to 2011 as I think Next Level Games may make another one for Wii.
