GoNintendo: The following is all rumored information about a supposed canned Wii U project.
- was in the works for PS4/720/PC/Wii U
- coming from EA
- used the Frostbite engine
- was successfully ported to Wii U
- concerns over big-budget games and low stocks forced EA to remove the Wii U version
Again, all rumors, but the source is someone that has gotten insider info in the past. Make of it what you will. Thanks to all of you that sent this in!
This is Furukawa, President of Nintendo. We will make an announcement about the successor to Nintendo Switch within this fiscal year. It will have been over nine years since we announced the existence of Nintendo Switch back in March 2015. We will be holding a Nintendo Direct this June regarding the Nintendo Switch software lineup for the latter half of 2024, but please be aware that there will be no mention of the Nintendo Switch successor during that presentation.
I'm excited for a switch 2 however I don't feel it will be coming this year as per the tweet in they are commuting to a reveal in this Japanese financial year in 2025.
Realistically we will get one last holiday season to focus on the switch because it would be madness for Nintendo to go into the holidays where the switch always performs well when they have announced a switch 2.
I'm thinking we see a announcement late Jan 25 personally with a release between March and June depending on when the software is ready and how strong the holday sales were if they need to boost those figures for the next earnings call or not
So it begins!
Where one contender pulls out of the game, another comes back bigger and stronger.
Nintendo Switch 2 - let the games begin.
A new Splatoon launch title for sure.. hoping they change the recipe and make it open world.
I think it’ll come out Q1 25. Let’s wait and see
There's a event in June for games on the switch and they said there won't be a switch 2 announcement so no way they will announce the console after june and still release it in the same year
So, I think they will shoot for another FYQ4 release (like with the first Switch) but I am confused by the headline:
'[...] Switch 2 will be officially ANNOUNCED before the end of March 2025' This implies that the Switch 2 isn't coming out till maybe holiday 2025 or maybe even 2026. I think they will be better served by NOT releasing when GTA 6 launches (unless there is some shocking reveal that it will run on Switch 2). Release early 2025.
It should be an interesting year; Sony, Nintendo, and MS all have new Hardware to show.
Video Gamer writes: "There's a rogue underworld of devs operating clandestinely, still creating Game Boy games. We've spoken to one of them."
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."
Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.
Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.
The WiiU will limited next-gen gaming.
It will be shafted and only good for Nintendo Exclusives
Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Yada, yada, ya
@SkyKing
It's a cover up
And the WiiU is much less powerful than PS4/xbox 720
DaTreats, did you read the article, if it's real, they removed the Wii U version because of financial troubles.
Also how will WiiU limit next-gen?
"EA cancels Wii U version of next-gen Sony/Microsoft title"
No big deal its not like the game got canceled all together it's still coming out for the other two consoles.
So they cancelled an unannounced games for unannounced platforms. How can anyone believe this?
I'm an unannounced developer and I've just cancelled an unannounced game on two unannounced consoles from MS and Sony. It is still being developed for the WiiU, but is unannounced as of yet.
