Good to know release dates.
Everything comes out on my payday I think. Wonderful how Nintendo manages that.

Mewtwo, Mega Yarn Yoshi, and Falco launch within a week of each other, all on different dates?

I am definitely going to wait for reviews to drop. Not nearly enough enemies on screen.
Honestly it wouldn't be the first time a game franchise I loved has a bad game *coughStickerStarcough*
Not sure if this has been asked already, but can anyone explain why the Falco amiibo is coming out after Mewtwo? That just seems so weird to me.
More on topic, is it just me or does the 3DS lineup seem really bare compared to the WiiU one? Not a single game for December there.

Yeah, at least you can play the game in the US^^ Could've been worse. I don't really like the idea of an limited release only because it forced me to preorder. But with Nintendo titles and limited copies ... at least you know that you can sell the game for 100 on eBay a year later^^ I will drop by the OT and post nice pics of the Limited Edition for you american Nintendo fans so you'll get to see it.
Ugh, that was the worst. Hoping that Mario and Paper Mario RPG thing is good... but I don't have any trust in Nintendo anymore. Sometimes they surprise me like with Splatoon so I'm open to them it's just... so many turds.
It's because Falco's Amiibo is launching alongside Star Fox Zero.

A little bit of my heart feels so sad, knowing no direct for this kind of announcement

"A new combo pack that includes two great games goes on sale Oct. 16. The pack includes both New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U, and will be available at a suggested retail price of $59.99."
That's just awful lol, what a shame.

Ah, that makes more sense. Has there been any confirmed amiibo functionality there?
They better do a big blow out for Star Fox Zero to justify that $60 price tag. Cause at the moment I'm not feeling that's going to be justified at all. We already know there is no multiplayer of any kind, just perhaps some limited co-op stuff. That's were we stand now until they say other wise. Graphically the game doesn't look that great compared to other Wii U games and combat seems slower (less) then past games from what they've shown. They're going have to justify that price point.

Reminds me of NES Remix which they tried to sell for $40.
How much effort could it be to port Super Mario Sunshine and make it HD? Give me a bone...
At least Mario Maker and Yoshi should be good. Xenoblade, Animal Crossing, Mario Tennis, and Star Fox I am "meh" on.

Guessing we're going to see a Fox amiibo reprint coming soon too with Starfox.
Wii are in the GameCube 2005 stage of the Wii U's life. Nintendo will release what's in the pipeline and that's it, the majority of their development resources are being focused on their next platform.
I guess we also know now Wolf's possible smash DLC date.
That New Super Mario Bros U pack is largely for those just picking up the system. It's smart really to combine them. It's just a shame it took them so long to do it.
Also there is no way Devil's Third is moving any units. At $30 they might be able to move some just with some people being curious as to how bad it might really be. A full $60 though? No way unless someone really isn't in the know or really wants to try it for themselves.
Didn't expect them to go this route with Fatal Frame. eShop only sure but not the "free to start" direction. Nice of them to do that. Planned on getting it anyway though.

The question is will it do worse than a Platinum Games Wii U game?
I mean at least they can get the dumb kid market
Yeah, I expect the NX reveal to be more hype than Wii U/3DS release for the next year.
Hope for a Pokken Tournament port.
A lot, probably. That game needs a decent amount of work done to it if they want to modernize it on the level of Wind Waker HD.
I believe in this age of almost only AAA games some won't regard certain "simplier" genres to be worthy of a retail release.
Captain Toad had a similar reception by some just because it was a "simple" action puzzle game (it was even budget priced), no matter how exquisite the overall package was.
I'm still surprised Nintendo is releasing Fatal Frame/Project Zero V in the west.
The Wii version of 2 didn't do that much and the series is pretty niche in Japan as well. Wasn't the fourth installment the second best selling in franchise with under 100k copies? Guess Nintendo of America thinks it's not worth a physical release. Guess NoE is a bit crazy. (Good for us Euro folks though)

Kind of weak.
Xenoblade and Yokai Watch are the only ones I'm interested in.

Fuck you NoA.
Will buy Fatal Frame from PAL land and wait until the console is hacked to play it now.

Neo, we are friends, so you should know my "controversial" opinions on those games. I'm going to stick to Wii U only since thats more of what my post is about.
Smash 4, Xenoblade (maybe? hopefully?), Splatoon, Hyrule Warriors, and Lego City are the only games I consider good enough to keep on the Wii U. I've tried all the others. Did not like at all.

Nice to finally get a release date for Devil's Third, but 3 months later is pretty stupid. I wonder if their line of thinking is "let's not release it until after our other games, so people will have other stuff to play and won't notice"
Even though it looks more interesting to me than any of the other exclusive titles listed here. Xenoblade checks a ton of boxes for me but I'm still really skeptical on the combat/grinding. Won't know if it hooks me until I get to play it.
Ofcourse, but 3 games for a whole year seems... not much.
I actually expect another port or spinoff to fill the gap, something they can scrap together in < 1 year development.
I don;t think you should take that as a sign of no more NDs. While there may not be any more I think you should wait until January/February before making that call.
Same man, didn't like Xenoblade at all but I got Xeno X on preorder for $30 so I'm giving it another shot. Please don't burn me again Monolith!

Yep!
Perhaps, but I feel they should still consider doing it to throw us 3D Mario fans (who prefer the more pre-Galaxy style exploration based games) a bone. Same with Wii Sports Resort Club/HD edition - a game many people loved and would like to see an updated version of. A few of those type of releases could help round out the Wii U's 2016 release schedule as well.
I can't believe there won't be Directs anymore in the future. Not only they were great, but they had success, and their success was growing in the past months (in terms of viewers/media attention). At this point, I suppose they'll wait for the new Nintendo's CEO to be officially elected for them to begin again. Or it's just too soon after Iwata's passing and they'll have one in the future wheter there's a new CEO or not. Anyway, Nintendo Direct's future should be one of the questions asked during the next major investor meeting, in October. I hope someone will ask it in the Q&A session, we need to have some information about what's going to happen with them.

Yeah, pretty much what I was getting at. It would not be that hard to re-port a game to fill in the library. Nintendo's plan now is to release more Amiibos than games now.
That is why I was confused as well. I remember them saying Home Maker was going to be free, but it is full price in Japan as well. Seems now you can play the game without Amiibos, but Amiibos allow you to take some randomness out of whom you are designing houses for. Pretty much they made a whole game out of the part of Animal Crossing where you design your house.
Very disappointed Fatal Frame 5 is a retail only release. However i am also glad the US is getting the game at all. I will try to get my hands on the European LE just to have it.
And didnt NOA say something about the US would get something special as well with regards to FF5? Or would that be quietly swept under the rug?

That NSMBU pack is way too expensive given how old the game is. I.like the idea but god damn yo.

Eh what?
Do they want Mario Tennis to fail in europe, or only cannabalize their own sold numbers when people that wanted both game only can afford one of them and make both games underperfome on release.
And here I thought NoE was not doing stupid things anymore.

Maybe we won't get any more NDs until 2016.
It might be an oldish game but the content justifies the price I believe and the original games themselves haven't gone down much in price. Combining them together is still likely cheaper then buying them separately.
