You Won’t Believe How Dry Nintendo’s January Is

Last month and this month, Nintendo is busy launching the Wii U. And next month? It's busy not releasing games in Japan.

The company's January schedule, which was recently updated on December 3, is shockingly empty. Here, have a look for yourself.

Alien Feb 12th cant wait....Wii U is going to have the best version too! http://www.nintendolife.com... http://www.escapistmagazine...

doogiebear4189d ago

I dont even like Nintendo anymore, but c'mon people:

Its only ONE month. There are gone ther games u probably dont own yet, that u can still buy for your wii/wii u or 3ds

stage884188d ago

@donbear I have no idea what you are saying.

FriedGoat4188d ago

dunno, If you owned a 3ds at launch then you know DRY. This will probably last a good 6 months.

yeahokchief4188d ago

actually i'm not shocked because i warned you all about this a few months ago before the Wii U released. it's a waste of money until they get serious about games for core gamers. start collecting your dust. busy with my black friday ps3 backlog.

RuperttheBear4188d ago

It's been the ps3 that's been getting dust really, barely anything worth buying this year. It's been really poor.

Buff10444188d ago

It's easy to have a PS3 backlog when the system's been our since 2006. Ah, you N4G PS3 fanboys have no perspective.

1upgamer,

Aliens: Colonial Marines wii u may be the best console version maybe...., the pc version will make the ps3/360/wii u versions look like psp games

lets be realistic, no console game is ever the best version of anything when pc is involved

pc brings a nuke to nerf war!

360ICE4188d ago

Yeah, it's gonna be a real ball to play a slightly better looking version of Aliens: Colonial Marines on Wii U. That surely is when the next-gen kicks in.

_LarZen_4189d ago

Startig to get sick of all the negative articles about everything...

1upgamer994189d ago (Edited 4189d ago )

LMAO, I know! I got a ton of disagrees with PROOF of what I was saying was TRUE...I did not have to say anything,the articles from GEARBOX said it all!!! If you are a gamer you like games that are outstanding, not because its Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo. If a game looks great, but is not fun, oh well.. How much do you want to bet the disagrees did not even touch the links I posted...Sorry guys, but for at least a year or two Nintendo is on top. Oh, gosh I am going to disagree...LOL ...These people that are fanboys disagree with the DEVELOPERS...

DomceM4189d ago (Edited 4189d ago )

i disagreed because i think its cool and hip to give shadow disagrees on N4G.

Also I cry myself to sleep every night because I have no friends. You jealous?

ThePsychoGamer4189d ago

No, I think they disagree with defensive comments that really don't relate to the article

1: This is an article about January, not Febuary's line-up.

2: The game you mentioned, has yet to be even be announced for the single region the article was talking about.

Moncole4188d ago

People only click on the negative articles and comment on them.

Jadedz4189d ago (Edited 4189d ago )

The selection might be dry for those of you whom own a PS360, or game on a PC.

Cam9774188d ago

Go wild! There should be some more in Summer of 2013 to look forward to.

Great news it shows that Nintendo intends to continue developing ports of AAA games to its next gen platform

H94d ago

Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal

OtterX4d ago

That is some serious brain gymnastics you have going on there. 🤔

H94d ago

I didn't do any gymnastics I can assure you, honestly I don't know why you think that, not hating I seriously don't see why you think that

ZeekQuattro4d ago

Yeah I don't know where that came from. It's rare for Nintendo to flat out aquire studios. Guess they were trying to be edgy but why flex on this studio. 🤣

Kneetos3d ago

At least they are safer from layoffs with Nintendo then any other company

banger884d ago

I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.

Relientk774d ago

Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."

You can't make this crap up lol

Profchaos4d ago

Mortal Kombat 1 was never going to port well I'm sure they told wb it wasn't going to work but wb wants that sweet sweet 140 million install base

In the end wb approved the project cleared the milestones and allowed the product to release

SonOfOsiris4d ago

Yeah this guys ported MK11 which is great, Hogwarts Legacy which is great, and MK1 is now ok, play it every day

How Many More Victims, Like Garry's Mod, Will Nintendo's Hurtful Crusade Create?

Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."

RiseNShine21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.

gold_drake21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.

nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.

people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly

mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.

zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.

nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.

its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.

but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.

Inverno21d ago

Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
