Forums - Gaming Discussion - Will Super Mario Galaxy be the only one of the big 3 coming out this year?

Alacrist on 09 March 2007

Yeah, the PS3 is having more trouble then even i expected, but on topic, these three games will be release in a 6 month period if you start at June but then again do you think Smash Bros would be released in Nov. or Dec. I would love for this to be true but looking at the dates that brings another question......Will Nintendo release their three biggest games in 5-6 months?

1gb? What are you talking about?

I suspect Nintendo has a strict no-patch policy, which I think is the approach to take. If a game isn't finish don't release it. If it has fatal bugs that ship replace it. I wonder what kind of built-up demand there is for Smash Bros. That game did extremely big numbers with the GameCube (I think it was the #1 game), and in North America anyway seemed to be something *every* GC owner had, and everyone who had a GameCube owning friend was well familiar with (even if it didn't push them over the edge to get a system themselves). With the Wii being a hit, and hence people have confidence about buying it (that wasn't there for the GC), I wonder how many SmashBros players Nintendo will convert into SmashBros/Wii owners.

...and destroy Sony? For sure, man, for sure They will do everything they can - there are still Metroid Prime 4 (or "Dread" or whatever ). Pikmin, Icarus (?), Disaster, Sadness (a biiiig publisher and Nintendo is talking to the studio? No, this could NEVER be Big N...), F-Zero, the next Zelda game, Mario Kart, etc. That should be enough to bring at least two big Nintendo titles to the Wii a year.

Indeed, it seems having pushed back so many GC releases to turn into Wii games (Paper Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, etc.) Nintendo is releasing a *LOT* of AAA franchise titles this year, which has to make you wonder how they're going to follow up in 2008? I know they've been working on a Zelda follow-up for a while, but I can't imagine it'd be that soon (although MM followed OoT pretty quickly) I guess they've still got Mario Kart in the bag (which a lot of new-found popularity from the DS). And the Health Pack game will be *HUGE* (launching this year?)

what I ment was: they have still a dozen of franchises to develope for the Wii. We should leave it to Nintendo, they will for sure not stop to bring out big titles in 2008

I agree, now if they really bring out two big Nintendo titles a year that would be fantastic!

Some of your posts make little sense or have a serious Sony slant to them but this.....this one seems to be coming from the left side of left field where the tard seats are sold. Will all 3 hit this year? Absolutely. Aside from the silence at GDC, due to the gag order for the stock situation in japan, there is no indication otherwise.



Alacrist on 09 March 2007

So, when is this gag order suppose to be over? (I'm thinking E3)

I would anticipate the gag order would have to end before march 31st (Nintendo's year end) ... Nintendo won't announce anything before E3 because Nintendo doesn't like you
