2012 was a year that Nintendo needed to be monumental. With the harsh reception of the 3DS due to lack of software and price, and the launch of a new console, Nintendo had a lot of ground to cover in only a year. The Wii U has officially launched, and the 3DS XL has been introduced to try and help the 3DS market. 2013 is a year that could very well make or break Nintendo.

WiiU:
Bayonetta 2.
Xenoblade 2(Monolith Soft other AAA jrpg).
Exklusive Final Fantasy WiiU.
Bayonetta 2 will be an awesome addition to the Wii U and I'm still waiting for a Wii U Final Fantasy as well. You know, one that goes back to its roots and isn't like The 4 Heroes of Light. I want something from them that's HD, battle system like 1-10, and with engaging characters.
I can see this happening at e3...
wii u. .. new zelda on stage , a teaser for a 3d mario, metoid prime U shown, super smash bros U playable.
3ds... zelda by retro studios, new 3ds redesign.
You'd think that after 3 decades of milking classics Nintendo would realize that the 20th game is bad enough; but the thought of them now re-releasing the majority of those games is almost unbearable.
OoT HD would be great, I think most people would agree. But the guaranteed success of that just means Wind Waker HD, Mario Kart 1-7 HD, etc. All good games but the thought of that is UNBEARABLE.
PLEASE keep doing what you're currently doing Nintendo, milk current successful franchises with sequels AND gain the desperately needed third party support. This could work.
I could get behind that. Maybe even merge 1 and 2 to make it a coherent story.
But I do agree, move forward, not backward. Not unless you're celebrating an anniversary of some kind.
It's not "either new sequels with no hd remakes, or hd remakes with no new sequels".
Most HD collections are handled by a different team other than the original developer, which means it doesn't take resources away from newer games.
All the good nintendo games take like a year or two after the system launces to come out anyway, so playing HD remasters of games like Twilight Princess, Wind Waker, Super Mario Sunshine (a game that looks f*cking beautiful on the dolphin emulator) to help pass the time would be awesome.
People have been asking for/talking about such a revision less and less lately for a reason: it is incredibly unlikely at this point, and will most likely never be.
@yangus
I think we will see monhun 4 in 2014, since we are getting 3U in March.
Also, I would love to see more amazing games for 3DS. I only got mine in June and it is already neglected.
anyone would think nintendo were down to their last dollar and putting all their hopes in the final mario game.
the exact opposite of what is actually happening!
nintendo is the strongest it has EVER been. Thanks to the sweeping rip-roaring success of the wii, and the dominance it has over the handheld market. nintendo basically owns the gaming market. lol gone for broke...?
nintendo started off as a playing cards company, if they were going for broke, they would be going back to selling cards. they are an electronic GIANT, in case whoever wrote this article, and those who subscribe to similar thinking didnt know!
nintendo never has to produce a new game ever again really, it could simply licence the games in its MASSIVE back catalog and rake in the profits. heck, nintendo probably make more off merchandising than a lot of small companies.
so to claim nintendo is in a make or break year is simply the ramblings of a mad man who has been living under a rock somewhere on the edge of the outer universe.
ITS LIES AND THE ARTICLE IS TROLL HAPPY FLAME BAIT.
OS speed improvements and optimization are needed ASAP!!!
It is readily apparent that Nintendo pulled an MS this cycle. They HAD to release their kit without having to go head to head with MUCH more powerful hardware (720, and PS4). Nintendo has about 12 months or so of a window that they MUST capitalize on. Once the new and more powerful hardware is released dev's will be unable to simply port to WiiU and Nintendo knows this. In all honesty WiiU is 2 years late. It should have been out awhile ago.
The exclusives need to shine, xenoblade was enough for me to justify getting a wii.
