Topic: Updated Nintendo 2015 release windows

Yes, that's interesting. Perhaps it just a trademark registration issue that needs to be fixed, before it can be finally confirmed? (Hopefully. Having different titles like they did with "Pullblox World" and "Pushmo World" was just confusing.)

Kirby's Return to Dream Land was just called Kirby's Adventure Wii over here

I think it could be because the first game of this style, Kirby Canvas Curse was called Kirby Power Paintbrush in Europe.

The Target store in my town has preorder cards for Splatoon and Yoshi's Wooly World for $1 but no release dates on them.

Those two games were also the earliest ones in 2015...

I don't know why they do it but many Kirby games have different titles on Europe. Kirby Superstar was released here as Kirby's Fun Pak for the SNES.
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse will probably become something like Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush, if I had to guess. On the other hand, America changes the boxarts to make Kirby look angry and that's just daft to me.

PS: Found another one; Kirby Squeak Squad for Nintendo DS is called Kirby Mouse Attack in Europe.

You know what? Shooters rarely achieve popularity in Japan, most successful shooters have come over from Western markets after achieving success in those markets and still struggled to find modest success in Japan. That said, it's probably better to put the game out in those markets where shooters are most popular first and hope that some of the success will create hype in Japan.

Ack! Please, Nintendo — give us some news on Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem! That's the title I've been actively waiting for since announcement. You're killing me here.

Don't worry, that game was just announced WAY too early. Development was probably underway for a month or so at the time of the Direct in january last year, so they knew that they wouldn't have a trailer ready within 1.5 years.

It could be, but I would guess that would've been resolved by now, as the report from three months ago had the same placeholder name. I wouldn't be too surprised if the game ended up with a different name over here in Europe.

The Wii U will be seen as the Collaboration Years for Nintendo and the companies that stuck by them

I think so too, but there is just very little announced. I might pick up Codename STEAM though. I like the idea.

Fifa 15 coming our way?

Not unless EA decides to put it on the Wii U platform. Currently, EA thinks the Wii version is enough.

A Wii u exclusive from Nintendo every month would be great. I'm just worried about 3ds and 2016..

I'm sure we'll get more 3ds releases apart from S.T.E.A.M, but I wonder how many of them will be for the New 3ds... and how many of them will be previous gen console ports?

It'll mostly be OG 3DS. The rest of the install base is too big to just abandon like that.

N3DS seems like it'll mostly have ports. Though, I doubt we will see 3D Mario port, as Sunshine and Galaxy have unique aspects that would be troublesome to move to 3DS. Namely analog squirting and the starbit pointer (pointer controls are already a pain with a regular analog stick. Imagine how rough they'd be with that rubber nub)

That seems like a realistic scenario though I do think we'll see a lot of games which are 'enhanced' by the New 3DS, with higher framerates or nicer textures or not blocking Miiverse and the Browser while the 'old' models do.

If Project Giant Robot is still scheduled to be released within eight months makes me wonder if it's just a small tile since the demo at E3 looked pretty basic.

And Starfox is supposed to be released within a year, and that E3 version had even less to show.
