    So long as we get either Starfox U or Zelda U this year I'll be happy. I would'nt read to much into the fact that we've heard little about it recently. Nintendo are very unpredictable, especially since they started doing Nintendo directs.

    Starfox U is supposedly coming this year, and followed by Zelda U. Both expected to be shown, if not playable, at E3.

    Splatoon I think should be good, especially if they learn from Tank!Tank!Tank! and ensure that both local and online multiplayer is catered for.

    Delayed until 2016 and won't be shown at E3 this year. Considering their next console could be released as early as 2016 and we've heard little to nothing from Starfox U recently this is very worrying for the Wii U. With virtually no third party titles the Wii U can't afford to have first party titles delayed. It sucks to be a Nintendo fan the past couple of years.

    Sorry I know it's a late reply to this comment but I only saw it now.

    I've been following Splatoon closely. I'm really looking forward to it.

    If they can nail the multiplayer it could be special.

    How dare Nintendo make such an expensive decision to ensure a better game. How dare they not achieve an arbitrary '2015' release date, and refuse to compromise the game to do so. Thinking of returning my Wii U now.

    If they only release Xenoblade Chronicles I'll be happy. 2015 seemed a bit optimistic, they can take their time with it, I don't want to see another Zelda compromised due to time constraints the way Wind Waker was.

    In general I'd be fine with that also but with he circumstances of the delay however such as non existent third party support and a vague NHX/mobile leaves me a tad worried. As long as Zelda is released for the Wii U I'll be happy with my investment. Nintendo really needs a decent Direct to regain the trust of their core basic imo.

    I think there's plenty good out on the WiiU this year to keep me busy. Zelda can wait and if it takes them a little longer to perfect it I'm happier to play the better game rather than the release first, patch later **** most other publishers peddle.

    Ha I guess that's a vaid point. The quality has been top notch. I just wish there was a bit more quantity.

    Indeed. I think everyone is in agreement that they make quality games. I, like many, just wish they made a higher volume of them.

    They're only one developer and pumping out far more games at the moment than any other publisher/developer and probably more than they ever did in their lifetime. I don't think they could really do anymore to alleviate that.

    I suppose, when looking at first party releases Nintendo are quite prolific compared to Sony and MS.
    It's a busy place and the shallow release schedule is mostly down to the lack of EA, Ubisoft and Activision.
    But I would say that, over all, it hasn't been such a bad deal, much of the games that have been extruded by these developera have been unfinished and unremarkable.
    The real loss is in third party works of wonder like Bloodborne, Bayonetta 2 was a start but Nintendo need more of this quality.
    And I just don't see it happening.
    That said, Nintendo seem to be maintaining a good relationship with all of these developers with the 3DS, and this bodes well for seeing them coming back into publishing titles for future Nintendo home consoles.

    When was the last time you bought a 3DS game that wasn't made by Nintendo or published? Even stuff like Monster Hunter is Nintendo published.

    It's kind of worrying on the handheld front as well that outside of small japanese developers like Atlus there's only really Nintendo games. Most japanese developers have gone mobile and the West is all about the home consoles and PC.

    Think it could end up being like Twilight Princess and straddle Nintendo's old and new consoles - coming out on the Wii U and whatever they're working on at the moment

    I think there's a different between the demographic represented here and the majority who own a 3DS that, in their ignorance, do not post here.
    They are the people buying EA and Ubi games for the handheld.
    I've no idea of the sales of these kinds of games though.

    Edit: I stand corrected. There is feck all EA on 3DS

    I cant wait to see what it turns out like to be honest, going by the transcript of what iwata said in the video while they were exploring the game the discovered several new possibilities for the game and want to intergrate them into the game to make it the best possible zelda that it can be rather then keep to a schedule and only put in content restricted by time. Sounds like they have the games best interests at heart rather then give in release dates. Im excited!!!
