Don't you see any flaw in your reasoning?

When people are on average more satisfied with older 2D games (which are also available on the platform) and there are lots of 2D indie games available as well, yeah, I'd say the fact they're 2D matters. You probably already own better 2D content than we'll see next year. People need more variety out of their platforms for them to sustain interest and gain wider adoption.

Indie games?Sigh. We get left off again
No GAF love
The only reason is because I have no time to update the sheer mass of indie games. ^^
That's why this thread only focuses on retail games.
@date format: I'll consider to change it. January 2, 2015 looks good or Jan. 02, 2015
More variety in visuals? (Ie 3d instead of 2d) I thought variety in gameplay was more important but yeah, ok.
Spill the beans!

What? Yoshi is not cute?

Well, the other thing that helps SMTxFE's case isn't just that IS is involved, but that one of their IPs (Fire Emblem) is really picking up steam and is very valuable to them. Unlikely Nintendo would let anyone screw that up.

Look at his avatar.
Look at his post history and see specifically what he comments on...it's all NST related stuff. (And his profile says he lives in Washington) has to be NST and he has to be referring to MvDK/.
I like what they used to be. Sadly none of this looks good to me.

Most 2D side-scrolling games work off very similar gameplay and design principles (a consequence of the limitations of 2D side-scrolling space), even if they vary superficially and mechanically.
I think the quantity would be fine if the market were responding to them. But I think Nintendo dropped the ball on their 2D content on Wii (bar DKC) and I don't think most of the people who were excited about it back then are interested in paying for more (and buying into a new platform to play it) - they have access to all the side-scrolling content they want via Wii Virtual Console + Wii 2D games.

OP - can you please sort out the Yoshi's Woolly World typo in the image. Please don't disrespect Yoshi.

Ok, then I missed something probably. ^^

Is Mario vs. Donkey Kong a retail release?
TheMoon

Nope.
Lack of possible buyers with more and more people picking up the system and proving general racing has an audience? Not saying PCars is gonna sell gangbusters but I don't follow your logic there.

Pretty much. Though I wish they weren't afraid to do 2D art as well as gameplay. I'm actually extremely disappointed in the 3DS's focus on 3D as in 3D models. Yoshi's New Island looks awful except for the 2D backgrounds.

Considering the amount of genres when 25% of the games are sidescrolling 2D games, that is a lot.
Umm, they are all 2d platformers. One just has a level editor. Not exactly vastly different

Project CARS is coming to Wii U because it was a successful crowdfunded game and Wii U was a part of that. They'd be letting down their backers in a big way if they cancelled it.
Oh crap, that's a lot of games I never even realized existed. >.>
<.<
Good thing we have backwards compatibility.
Yes, that too. Fire Emblem rose like the phoenix rather then get its head chopped off like a chicken.

On SMT X FE, we only just saw Devil Survivor Overclocked 2 re-announced for 3DS. It's clear Atlus has had a rough 18 months. I still have faith the title will appear eventually.
TheMoon

It should at least be mentioned somewhere, along with Project Guard and MvsDK because we don't have many details on either.
Jump, grab coin, score points, reach goal. I follow. However I think Mario maker is unique enough in its concept on the console (predominantly as a level creating tool/ sharer etc) to differentiate ut from Kirby and yoshi, so then there are only really two platformers you can class as similar in my eyes using your reasoning.

Lovely thread for the new year coming, still think Splinter Cell and Tekken deserve to be on the recommendation list.

Will be getting them all apart from 2, amazing stuff coming next year. They did say they had a game release each month.
TheMoon

"They" didn't. That was some rumor, nothing more. But it still somewhat lines up.

Has Itagaki spoken already about a possible release date for Devil's Third? I'm a huge Ninja Gaiden fan and I can't wait to play his new project.
Man, get the game printed on some discs and it'll make the thread! Nobody's dumping on the game. I personally think it looks awesome.

Will definitely buy:
Capt. Toad
Kirby
Yoshi
Splatoon
Xenoblade
SMTxFE
Zelda
Will wait for the final version of Devil's Third
Edit: Forgot Star Fox
The list looks pretty good to me!
What's the reasoning behind the late Kirby release in the EU? I can easily wait a month (CP: TT) but didn't they state during the last direct that it would get a mid /2nd half of 2015 release?

Not yet, last he said they were finishing up something like that and it was rated by the Aussie board so its may be coming sooner rather then later

And afterward, they can start work on a 1080 and/or Wave Race sequel! Or resurrect Project HAMMER!
Right?!
Whelp, yeah maybe that ass is abused too muchNo particular reason, wanted to use a new picture, but maybe I get back to this one.
But I would still take a shot fro the WiiU game, maybe this one.

Thanks
. Though I'm still not really clear on what the game actually is. Is it like Uncharted in the sense that there is a strong focus on the single player part of the game + online death match to play once you're done with the SP? Or is it first and foremost a MP game?

Yup that was never heard about again once Sega acquired Index.
Can't wait for you and everybody else saying so to be proven wrong.

Sega acquired Index in September of last year.
Members of Intelligent Systems confirmed that SMT x Fire Emblem is in development and on schedule at E3 this past June.

I'm totally not.
NST was my favorite Nintendo dev throughout the GCN/DS era.
I bought Aura Aura Climber 4 separate time.
