Anecdotal evidence: if we go with Amazon Donkey Kong should sell very well (relative to the install base) in Germany: the game has been constantly charting in the top 100 since its last big trailer (weeks ago) and it was even the best Wii U seller during a few days, ranking better than the just released Mario Wii U (which is still in the top 20 since its release).

Wii U Games 2014
- Thread starter Captain Smoker
- Start date
I hope after this investors meeting they layout the release schedule for up until E3, i'm tired of DKTF being the only game with a full date.

Hyperbole, I have BOs 2 for Wii U and it is smooth. The slowdowns in SP are in the first 2 missions and are not game breaking, MP is silky smooth and I have tested local MP with the setup you are asking, plays great too.
On another note it was well played to have Wii Fit U in Jan due to new year/new goals/lose weight/blah blah. This time of the year is really slow for videogames and Nintendo can benefit from Wii Fit U, now lets see if the card plays well were it matters. Don't watch much TV, is this being marketed?
I don't know if Nintendo has a choice. They have to lay out something or investors could riot.
Does laying management off count?
Thankfully, investors don't have that power with Nintendo.

Thank you. This really does sound like a product I should get. Online never grabs me anyway.
Amazon order of asscreed america and blops 2 coming up soon.
Yes I know assassins of the carribean is better than asscreed america. I intend to play both eventually.

I want AC 4 too but I want most games digital, a sale to at least $40 would be great Ubi.

The lack of love for the upcoming Shin'en Wii U title is sad =(
Nintendo France just tweeted this.

Sorry on phone so I can't get the image.

They need to show it first!
The one where we have only seen one in-engine shot of a car from top?
Thanks!
That's guaranteed : the Year 2014 will go play on Wii U! [Yup, it does sound dumb even in the the original language]
On Wii U, you get : best exclusives, off-TV play, free online gaming, backward compatibility with games and accessories.
Watch_Dogs being the only 3rd party game on that list... not really surprising!

Wat? We are all hyped for this, but the wait to see something concrete is getting tiresome.
This basically confirms Watch Dogs is not canned.
I can see Hyrule Warriors hitting in 2014 more than X. I think they are in crunch time at Monolith, but I think it will be moved to 2015. I am ok with that if it affects the quality of the title, take your time Monolith, make it a masterpiece (is that too much pressure
)edit Mmmm, that order, I could see them coming like that. That is a freaking great lineup!!
meh they all will be delayed til 2016 you know Nintendo
/sarcasm
What does that say? And why did they just tweet that is something about to go down soon lol
Thats 5 of 6 my most wanted WiiU games from launch titles to announced titles
No they haven't and I wouldn't expect them anytime soon either. You can always get them for Wii Shop Channel though. You do need a Wiimote + Classic Controller to play them.
Why dont you check out my post?
And what do you mean by "Why did they just tweet that is something about to go down soon"?

oh I missed your post lol, I mean just seems like random time too tweet about up coming games, I guess its starting the week off week some advertising.
I may be reading too much into it but could this list have the games in order of when they will come out.
DKCTF - Feb
Mario Kart 8 - March/April
Watch_Dogs - April/May/June
Bayo 2 - May/June
Smash Bros - Aug/Sept
Hyrule Warriors - Sept
X - Oct
edit
megabytecr is on it too
Yep, same : February / March-April / April / May / June / Summer (July - Sept) / Summer (July - Sept).

The only thing working against that likely-close-to-true theory is that they said Hyrule Warriors was a summer title.
Summer for Japan, but Summer ends in Sept, and if Nintendo is saving something else for Fall its still possible

Fair, though I can't imagine a non-global release for this given how little there'll likely be to the localization. But then again, September = summer, etc.
Edit: Actually, that's probably likely. I imagine X hits in the fall and then whatever they drop at E3 this year hits in the Winter ala Super Mario 3D World.

Hmm, I wonder what we could do with that hashtag #wiiu2014. Perhaps it'll be used to hype up something (Nintendo Direct/Strategic Renewal).

Donkey Kong - February
Mario Kart 8 - March
Watch Dogs - April
Bayonetta 2 - May
Smash Bros -June
Hyrule Warriors -July
X - August
That's my guess.
Mario Kart 8 - March
Watch Dogs - April
Bayonetta 2 - May
Smash Bros -June
Hyrule Warriors -July
X - August
That's my guess.
We just don't have a date for the releases yet?
If that was true, then my wallet will hate me.

Sure, I certainly hope so, they need 1 or 2 surprise games for E3. Which can come late in the year as SM3DW.
So the pic shared via twitter, Project Cars, 1 or 2 surprises, some 1st party e-shop titles in the vein of NES Remix, plus indie games, plus some gems I missed in 2013, more than enough for me.

Let's say this were the actual oder in which those games are released, then I'd say:
DKC:TF = True, it's gonna be Nintendo's first big 2014 title.
MK8 = Probably true, I bet my left arm this game is coming in April.
Now for the others, it could look like this:
Watch dogs = May
Bayonetta 2 = September
Smash = October
Hyrule Warriors = November
X = December
Yoshi's Yarn maybe June

Even though I agree he failed, at least Sakamoto had the BALLS to try and do something with his character, unlike Miyamoto or Aonuma.
Sorry, but Other M being "garbage" is hyperbole.

Everyday I see X as 2014, it puts a huge smile in my face.
Now I know I am sounding like a parrot but can we have confirmation for X as single player offline with online multi? Sorry for acting paranoid. No info on my awaited game kills me.
Oh, I wish X ends up being a singer player experience first and foremost, too. I can see this game have some dark souls-esque features, though, but really hope it's not some sort of MMO.

I would cry if it was. I mean, this is the JRPG I am looking for. I don't want to rely on my Internet to play that game.

Lack of single player campaign would severely deflate my hype, but I don't see much reason to speculate in that direction. I'm guessing it will be something like a cross between Xenoblade Chronicles' single player and Monster Hunter's online functions.

The reason why I have my fears is because they show multiplayer first before any type of story teaser on their trailers. Plus, no info and this game is coming out this year. This game is like a dream come true to me (real time combat with mechs with beautiful visuals). It's too good to be true.

Just re watched the E3 trailer.
It shows for the most part, what seems like a SP component, just before the end you can see for a second several players numbered to the left, so I think it will have an online component but will be SP also.
