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?

Itagaki said the solo campaign is one of his biggest yet or something to that effect, so that's quite expansive. And the multiplayer mode is also no afterthought DM only. Watch the multiplayer trailer and check the links in that thread I linked. The MP is based in a persistent economy with territorial battles that include base building, randomized terrain and a bunch of insane gameplay modes (like that fruit stuff you see in the gifs). This will be one meaty package of both MP and SP.

That's...it? Guess the Wii U will be one of those systems that I only ever have like 8 games for.

Trollpost? These are retail-only games. This thread does not include or cover download-only games as we have monthly threads for those. What do you expect if the major publishers pulled support. Which is something that we've all known forever and shouldn't be a surprise for you at all.

 

[Agalloch]

 

[chris3116]

Definitely

Splatoon
Xenoblade
Zelda
Mario Maker

Maybe

Star Fox

Only one game has stayed in our Wii U rotation this year, Smash. Every other game has been disappointing and sold off :/

 

[blurrygil]

All of it:

I see you do this in many threads (not exclusively Nintendo ones)

So...what in the hell do you like?

 

[Lunar15]

I still can't get over the fact that we're getting another Kirby Canvas Curse style game. I'm so happy about it.

Now we just need a good Paper Mario game on the system, and then we're really talkin'.

An interesting development in my life is that StarFox might be the least interesting thing on there for me.

 

[dragonzdogma]

Games I will get eventually when they get to be these prices ( if they do)

Capatin Toad for less than 30$
Super mario bros U for less than 20$
Mario maker for less than 30$
Wind waker for less than 30$
Super smash for less than 40$
Zelda U 59.99$
Devil's third 39.99$
DK Tropical freeze for less than 20$
Star Fox less than 40$
Bayonetta 2 for less than 40$
Wonderful 101 for less than 20$

 

[Whiskeymatt]

Wow. That's a more impressive 2015 lineup than I was expecting. And that's not even including the Mario Kart 8 DLC Pack 2 and potential Smash Bros. DLC. My poor wallet =/

 

[ghibli99]

Should be a good year! I usually don't notice these things, but that "PLATOFRMER" misspelling on Yoshi... unless it's intentional for reasons not known to me!

 

[TI82]

I see you do this in many threads (not exclusively Nintendo ones)

So...what in the hell do you like?

Well I mean, if you are following my post history you should be able to see my "Anticipated games of 2015" list. On which there are two 3DS games.

But right now I'm really liking:

1. Little Big Planet 3
2. GTA V PS4
3. Pokemon Alpha Sapphire
4. Fantasy Life
5. Suikoden I
6. Plants vs Zombies GW

If we want to talk about what Nintendo made games I like:

1. Paper Mario Thousand Year Door (This is GOAT material)
2. Wario Land (entire series is BRILLIANT)
3. Fire Emblem
4. Advance Wars
5. Custom Robo (It's a crime they havent made a new one in so long)
6. Pokemon, duh
7. Super Mario RPG
8. Mario and Luigi series
9. Megaman Battle Network (again GOAT, although not Nintendo made it is Nintendo exclusive. See: My avatar)

I'm sure theres more I'm forgetting.

 

[StreetsAhead]

Mewtwo is confirmed already There's also some Hyrule Warriors DLC launching next year, iirc.

 

[TheMoon]

Yup, Majora's Mask pack and the Boss pack.

 

[MissileTrick]

I seriously laughed at Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem.


I'm looking to get

Yoshi
Kirby
Captain Toad ( hopefully soon)
Starfox
Zelda
Splatoon

Maybe

Devil's Third

This list almost matches the amount of retail titles I picked up this year and this is before any surprises pop up. Looking to be a good year for me if everyone of these titles comes out.

 

[PetrCobra]

PLATOFRMR!

It's a nice list. I''m probably going to get all of those eventually. Xenoblade and Splatoon as soon as they get out.

 

[jholmes]

2. Wario Land (entire series is BRILLIANT)

This thread has convinced me that the Wii U needs a sequel to 1080 Avalanche and Wario Land: Shake It! in 2016. Good thread so far!

 

[TI82]

I played 1080 on the N64 and it wwasn't that special to me so I dunno.

But yeah Shake it! was pretty great. I'd prefer a game on the 3DS but Wii U would be fine too.

 

[Phil4000]

Damn those cropped screens make all the Wii U games look incredible =)

 

[astrogamer]

Is Mario vs. Donkey Kong a retail release?

According to this http://www.nintendo.com/games/game-guide#filter/-|-|-|-|-|descend|releaseDate|-|-|-|-|-|-/24/1
yes

 

[jabberwocker]

I am still trying to figure out why this system is doing so badly. It's putting out better quality stuff than the other systems currently.

I guess it's next gen vs Nintendo graphics.

Some of us like other games than you.

 

[openrob]

Whoop!
Loved the old thread, even though i never posted in it. Waiting for this to get filed in over the year.

Worth mentioning, or is it only retail games?

Nice! I didn't know this. I'm looking forward to the game even more now.

 

[TheMoon]

retail only.

eshop games get discussed in the monthly download threads.

Nice! I didn't know this. I'm looking forward to the game even more now.

There's nothing to "know." That temp box means nothing by itself.

 

[John Harker]

Why don't eShop games count as "lineup" again?

 

[TheMoon]

Why don't eShop games count as "lineup" again?

probably because it's easier to maintain that way. but while we're added, the thread title should reflect this at least.

Captain Smoker, could you PM a mod to rename this to Wii U Retail Games 2015 or something?

OR we start including a "noteworthy eShop preview" thing.

 

[Anth0ny]

+Kart DLC
+Inevitable Smash DLC

2015 is going to be insane for this console.

 

[eRonin]

This is it. 2015 will be the year I buy

Spoiler

Smash Machine

Wii U. Gotta get all the 2013-2014 releases like W101, Bayo1+2, 3D World, Pikmin 3 and Mario Kart as well.

 

[Vena]

OR we start including a "noteworthy eShop preview" thing.

I say we keep adding in eShop games. I think its better for everyone. More exposure for the eShop titles, more centralized list of games and dates, etc.

 

[Dr. Buni]

Splatoon shall be mine. Also, sorry to be that girl, but the upcoming Kirby game isn't a platformer. Actually, most Kirby games aren't.

 

[daydream]

Most people have awful taste.

ftfy

I'd also like to see an eShop section btw. I'd expect a separate thread for that to get swiftly closed so we gotta make this one cout.

 

[GWX]

2015 is going to be so delicious. Splatoon is my most wanted game, it looks so freaking fun.

 

[Mecha]

Nintendo has won me over this generation. The Wii U will be my first Nintendo console bought brand new and this will be the first gen I will have not bought a Sony console first.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

There's nothing to "know." That temp box means nothing by itself.

eShop only games normally don't have a Wii U box art graphic for the game on Nintendo's site. It's likely a retail product because of this.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

So far things are looking good for Wii U, if Nintendo did the things rights we may have a new game every month.
Still if you consider that, Pokkén Tournament and that Luigi's Mansion game for arcade has a great change of been release on WII U, things look even better.

Also, I hope for a New Metroid, Wario Land. Retro studios is too quiet, I hope they are doing something big. And I also believe that Nintendo will
forge some new partnership and bring great games to the Wii U library.

Spoiler

They could buy Sega, and Atlus stuff would be all our XD

 

[dragonzdogma]

sorry Off topic:

T.K.O!

lol

 

[Zero²]

You know what would compliment this list really well?

Localization announcements for Fatal Frame V and Dragon Quest X.

Spoiler

Damn I had set my mind to forget about FF5, but you had to remind me

 

[Malus]

I wonder if Tokyo EAD will have a new 3D Mario ready for next holiday season.

 

[xplicitone]

So many good games! Definitely buying:
Splatoon
Xenoblade
Zelda
Mario Party 10

I'll wait for a deal on the following:
Capt. Toad
Kirby
Yoshi
SMTxFE

Need to see more of:
Devil
Star Fox

 

[TheMoon]

Splatoon shall be mine. Also, sorry to be that girl, but the upcoming Kirby game isn't a platformer. Actually, most Kirby games aren't.

Ah right on, I'm in full support of you being "that" girl. If I had carefully read the descriptions I'd have also brought it up, smarty pants that I usually am.

You are probably forgetting that they put out a game this February. One of this year's best, btw^^

I wonder if Tokyo EAD will have a new 3D Mario ready for next holiday season.

I think two years is too soon. But next year is Mario's big 30th anniversary, so ....

They're already doing Mario Maker for that but 2010 (25th anniv.) also saw SMG2 + the poorly handled SM All-Stars Anniversary release. So 2 celebratory games are in the cards.

 

[Verger]

If Xenoblade X is anything like the original then that is already one 100+ hour game there :O

 

[James Scott]

So many good games. I'm excited, it has become best Nintendo system in a long time for me the last two years being easily better than the 3DS's as blasphemous as it seems. I love this *new* Nintendo, it's a shame they aren't selling as well as they deserve despite having so many good games

Spoiler

(I'm guessing this like 80% due to poor marketing which has been just awful-none existent since launch)

. Hope it works put for them in 2015
I'll probably be buying everything on that list except maybe project cars and smt x fe (since that will likely not come out next year if at all)

 

[TheMoon]

If Xenoblade X is anything like the original then that is already one 100+ hour game there :O

Probably even more from the sounds of it.

 

[jnWake]

There's a typo in Yoshi's Wooly World (Platofrmer)!

It could be interesting if we had some sort of user's reviews (not with scores) or something for the recommended games. As it is, we just have pictures of the games so it doesn't really mean much. It could be cool if, for every recommended game, we had like some user quotes as to why it's recommended.

It'd also be cool if someone did a similar list (upcoming + recommended) for eShop titles. I've always been a bit interested in the indie Wii U games, but there's not much info for theem!

 

[pinkurocket]

If Xenoblade X is anything like the original then that is already one 100+ hour game there :O

Even better! They have said it's even bigger.

 

[_Clash_]

Man,

I really want Devil's Third to deliver. Looks a blast, with the hybrid hack n slash/ cover shooter.

Not to mention those funky online gameplay modes.

Let's hope the polish is real.

HYPE

 

[Malus]

Even better! They have said it's even bigger.

Bigger world but not necessarily more content rich, unless I missed that. Factor in the faster mode of transportation and it might not feel much bigger.

 

[James Scott]

It's +5x bigger, built to scale with the mechs making it about the same size while riding a Doll

 

[Yatōkiri_Kilgharrah]
