3D Mario and Zelda Wii U launch schedules to be announced in the future

The Zelda Wii U tech demo was one of the first things Nintendo showed off when they unveiled the console back in 2011 but we have heard nothing about a 3D Mario Wii U game. Now Satoru Iwata has said launch schedules for a 3D Mario Wii U game and Zelda Wii U will be announced in the future.

Give me Metroid!!!!

[Freak of Nature]

I want it too very much! And an all new Mario 3D would go with it very nicely. Zelda's Wii U demo also is something high on my most wanted list.

Launch schedules announced in the future.... OBVIOUSLY! Dumb article

[TheLyonKing]

Now this is exciting news :)

[catch]

While I am excited to play these games.. How is "they will announce them some day" news? Was there any doubt that would be happening?

[ctorretta]

This. How in the world is this possibly news? "In the future we will tell you when future games are coming out."

3D metroid by retro studios and i'll buy a Wii U

[That-Guy]

Even though they never go with tech demos, I'd really like to see Zelda's Wii U demo a reality.

[demonddel]

WOW really I didn't know that

[fermcr]

(* groan *) Always the same games. Milk ... milk...milk. Hey Nintendo ... What about new games (IP's) ?

[Rainstorm81]

Really the only company that has been dedicated to new 1st party IPs is Sony.... Ninty and MS tend to stick to what works.

But an HD zelda is very high on my most wanred list, as long as it has the tech demo's art style

[Rainstorm81]

wanted*

[Temporary]

Eh I personally feel they should keep releasing metroid, mario and Zelda the way they have been. Theyre always good games and they're what made Nintendo what they are today.

PS3 constantly comes out with new IPs which is awesome, but Nintendo can sell consoles just on those 3 games alone. There's no significant need to focus on new IPs.

[PygmelionHunter]

Did you buy Xenoblade, The Last Story, Pandora's Tower, Pushmo, Crashmo, Steel Diver?.. That's what I thought.

[Neonridr]

lol, okay, so I guess we won't see any more Metal Gear Solid, God of War, Gran Turismo, Killzone, Resistance, Uncharted, Rachet and Clank, Infamous or Little Big Planet games from Sony then??

[Rainstorm81]

Littlebigplanet, Uncharted, Resistance & Infamous are all new IPs to this Gen so while we may see more of them, undoubtedly Sony will bring even more new IPs next gen looking at history.

This gen is in its last years, yet they are still churning out new IPs like PS Allstars, Last of Us and Beyond Two Souls

[Rockefellow]

As opposed to the past? You don't say!

[Y_5150]

I need Star Fox! F-Zero! And I can never have enough of Kirby!

[Rainstorm81]

Yes! As long as starfox is in the Arwing and not on foot id be a happy gamer. I also think the they should make a new 2D Metroid or HD revamp Super Metroid that would be amazing as well.

Super Mario U...niverse
