Topic: Looks we have another Nintendo drought until late September for the Wii U

So, we have the retail Wii Sports Club in July, and................?

at least the indies are finally here.

I will say while for the long term this isn't gonna be a big deal (especially since retail games are halfway dead this year, at least before October), but I would vastly prefer Nintendo to pay some money for a quick port or 2 at this point. Dark Souls and Strider make the most sense to me btw.

Is there anything on anything actually? Or is it another pointless and stupid topic about how there is a drought on Wii U and not anywhere else.

I love the Wii U, but yeah, Sony and Microsoft have much busier schedules this summer.

For the record, retail games on PS4 before September are sports games and The Last of Us Remastered according to the list I read.

I was really hoping for an HD remake of a Gamecube or Wii title to help fill in the summer months, but alas, I guess not. Still have a small chance of a surprise ND announcement though. Going into this year I thought Bayonetta was going to be the big summer release.

Also, no date on Devils Third yet, just 2014.

If Nintendo releases are all that counts, Pushmo World releases in less than a week. Have you played all the good existing Nintendo games?

Not counting indies, sports games, and download only, I can think of the Metro collection, Sniper Elite III, Plants VS Zombies: Garden Warfare, Diablo III, The Last of Us, Transformers, dunno what else. Still kinda slim I admit, but this will be the third major drought for the Wii U (spring 2013, spring 2014, summer 2014).

For the Wii U, yes, I was a launch customer.......fav being Tropical Freeze so far, I might replay Wind Waker for the hell of it this summer though.

This is not a good thing and Nintendo should be treated harshly for still allowing this to happen, indie support or not. But I'll say I'm way less mad about this than I thought I would be. I guess deciding to spend my effort towards eShop games this year was the right choice...

Hyrule Warriors comes out in September. So at least it's only a 2 month drought.

Considering the lack of third party support, Nintendo should aim for a major release once every two months, that can include HD remakes, etc. instead of stockpiling for the holiday season as the norm. I still think Nintendo has something brewing, late September is a long time away and I think most people are not excited about Wii Sports Club.

Late September so it's more like three months.

For the record, between now and Hyrule Warriors there's:

Pushmo World
Transformers Rise of the Dark Spark
One Piece Unlimited World Red
Wii Sports Club
Disney Infinity 2.0 (only by a few days though)
Numerous indies

I'm guessing Nintendo will release some more download titles in the near future but it is a bit barren.

At least for me personally, this isn't a bad thing.
Gives me some time to start saving some money for the big releases I'm interested in, as well as get through some of the games I haven't found time for.

Oh, look, another one of the Nintendoomsayers threads.

Indies, sports games and download games only do count. Excluding them wouldn't make any sense. Also, there are other games maybe you hadn't tried yet.

The E3 spell is over and doom style threads are creeping back in well that didn't last long.

Well I'm going to have a great game with Assassin's Creed 4 over the Summer.

I'm going to play Frisbee with it.

I already put the funds for Pushmo World and Shovel Knight, and very hopeful that Armillo hits not long after that. I haven't even gotten all secret characters on MK8 yet.

And technically Wii Sports is completed in June. It is the physical version the one that gets a July release

This doesn't look like a doomsayers thread. It looks like an comment on the Wii U's summer situation.
Nintendo isn't perfect. Get over it.
