Topic: Why I bought a Wii U today

Have been itching to play Mario 3D World for some time now ...

But mainly, because of all the awesomeness in 2015. My most hyped titles:

  • Xenoblade Chronicles
  • The Legend of Zelda Wii U
  • FIRE EMBLEM
  • Star Fox

Also, I am excited for Mario Party 10 and Mario Kart 8 (already out) as both are awesome with friends.

Cannot wait for Xenoblade and Zelda. Zelda just looks awesome.

But honestly, why hasn't there been a new Metroid game? You know, one with awesome music, no NPCs and exploration? WE NEED THIS NOW, NINTENDO!

Cool that you have a Wii U.

Although I'm fairly sure there's no Fire Emblem main series game on the Wii U. Unless you mean SMT X FE. The FE just announced is 3DS-exclusive.

I also, am excited for MP10, hopefully it's still playable even with the mechanics from MP9.

Mario Maker is also up there for me, but I'm into creative things, so I guess it's not for everyone.

  • FIRE EMBLEM

Sorry to dampen your hype but this title is likely cancelled (Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem). We have heard any info since the initial trailer over 2 years ago so I think it would be wise to assume vaporware and be pleased if it turns out not to be.

Well done for joining the cool kids. Don't forget to add Bayonetta 2 to your list as well.

I disagree Zelda looks awesome. It doesn't look anything because we've seen almost nothing! It could end up being a big pile of Goron crap.

It's dangerous to go alone! Stay at home.

It's not cancelled just because they don't talk about it. But there is currently no proof that it's a 2015 title.

Speaking of which, what is it like? I mean, they only eat rocks, so what do they expel?

By that logic, The Last Guardian is still happening.

That kind of logic doesn't translate to other publishers. Nintendo is a publisher where we rarely know anything about games that comes out 3 months ahead.

I'd still take a big pile of Goron crap over anything else.

Fire Emblem is indeed happening.

Please see this 2015 earnings document. (http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2015/150129e.pdf) It clearly talks about the game, specifically, forecasts for upcoming titles, including Shin TGIF Fire Emblem XYZ which is set for release in US, Europe and the Far East. Just because a publisher doesn't talk about it a game does not mean it is dead. Lots of publishers use that approach.

So, BAM! FIRE EMBLEM IS HAPPENING. =D

Side note,
Sony waived its right to renew The Last Guardian trademark. That comes off as an obvious sign that it is not happening.

Slightly off-topic, but Sony did renew the trademark, it was an administrative error which caused it to be abandoned for a few hours but was re-registered shortly after, and confirmed to still be in development.

I stand corrected! Thank you for informing me and the World Wide Web!

Well, if the Goron has plenty of clay in their diet, you get concrete. If not, you get liquid mud...

Back on topic, don't spend so much time hype the upcoming stuff that you miss the great games that are already on the system.

In particular, I would recommend Captain Toad, Mario Kart 8, Hyrule Warriors, and Child of Light. And if you don't mind more mature titles, ZombiU and Bayonetta 2 are both fantastic.

Mario Kart 8 is the main reason I bought the system for today. Me, my brother, his wife and my sister still play the 64 version regularly. This is and Mario Party 10 are going to be a lot of fun.

Captain Toad is on my radar. What is the thought on ZombiU? I love mature titles, but saw the game got meh reviews. I'm seeing it for real cheap.

Zombi U is a very underrated game. Don't go into it expecting an action based FPS like COD or LFD like many reviewers did as you'll be dissapointed, expect a tough survival horror game though and you'll find that it's probably the best since the original RE games.

Yep. If you can put yourself into that mindset, definitely buy it. One of the most atmospheric games I've ever played.

I wouldn't give up hope quite yet, although I do understand not wanting to be let down. At E3 Nintendo was officially asked about the project, or rather, Intelligent Systems wash which I'm sure you already know. Anyways point being, that was only 8 months ago. As of 8 months ago the game was on schedule. So I think they're just not gonna show the game til they're ready. Probably at this E3 or, could be afterward in an off month like they did with Xenoblade and Hyrule Warriors.

We all know Nintendo likes to wait to show their games til 3-6 months before release (although they are getting better with some of the more high profile titles). I figure we won't hear anything and then one day, when we least expect it, bam, Nintendo Direct announcing the game is dropping in just a few short months.

Didn't this happen with Yoshi's Wooly World/Yarn Yoshi?
