With the next-generation of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One already upon us, Nintendo's console has been floundering to stay at all relevant. The Wii U is often left out from multi-platform releases and finds its only saving graces in old, well-established franchises of Zelda and Super Smash Bros. fare.
With the delay of the next Zelda game for Wii U confirmed, the console doesn't have much to get excited for in the next year. Even so there are a couple of exclusives still worth looking out for. This article picks out the few big releases coming this year.
Nintendo Has Acquired Shiver Entertainment From Embracer Group
Great news it shows that Nintendo intends to continue developing ports of AAA games to its next gen platform
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
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.
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
Game developers have already started to confirm that they will support the Nintendo Switch 2 with their future titles.
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."
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.
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.
They could have an Animal Crossing.
I am also excited for Yoshi's Wooly World, Devil's Third, and Mario Maker, in addition to what was listed in the article.
I'm also hoping for new info on SMT X FE. Hopefully we get a new trailer and a 2015 release date.
I would also like to find out any updates on a possible Dragon Quest 10 localization.
However, the fact that Zelda won't even be shown at E3 really bothers me.
b*tch please...SPLATOON!
only xenoblade and splatoon
yay collect more dust for wiiu owner
They have Star Fox, Splatoon and Xenoblade this year (not including unannounced 2015 titles). I still think the Wii U can do better with an expanded virtual console, a few high value bundles and better marketing.
