Hmmm, if it doesn't come out this Fall, will there be any major exclusives for Wii U?

gamingpro3286d ago

U clearly don't know much then. Star Fox, splatoon, devils third to name a few.

themonado3286d ago

@gamingpro: Uh..I'm sure he was talking about Fall.

Metallox3287d ago

Wait until E3, and if not, well, yes, nothing will be given for Wii U this holiday season.

MrSwankSinatra3287d ago

There is literally nothing outside of Splatoon with a confirmed release date that i'm interested in (including 3DS).

These have been my only purchases for Nintendo platforms in 2015.

3DS - Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D, Xenoblade Chronicles 3D and Code Name: S.T.E.A.M.

Wii U - Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Mario Party 10 and Splatoon (Pre-ordered)

benji1013287d ago

ps4 release dates are lies. Drive club was finally finished. ps4 fans buy early acces. gaming is crazy at the moment.

superchiller3287d ago

Wow you actually bought Rainbow Curse? The game is terrible, makes you play the whole game on the gamepad, and you can't even enjoy it on the TV. Total failure.

MrSwankSinatra3287d ago

@Superchiller It really is shame because the claymation graphics are beautiful.

Big_Game_Hunters3287d ago

It will for sure be out by fall, localization can't possibly take THAT long, the issue isn't whether it will come this year or not. The issue is that it should be out next month.

deafdani3287d ago

Localization is much, much harder than you seem to believe, so yeah, it can actually take THAT long, especially for such a text and dialogue heavy game.

Neonridr3287d ago

depends on if Star Fox releases this year, or what other surprises Nintendo may have. The good ol' wait and see approach I guess.

gangsta_red3287d ago

Starfox is suppose to be coming. I think this E3 will showcase this game as a huge exclusive for Nintendo.

Metallox3287d ago

They just stated that the game will arrive "later this year", it's something.

wonderfulmonkeyman3287d ago

The question now is, how much later is "later"?
Two, three months? Year's end?
They were still way too vague on how far along they are...

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory3287d ago (Edited 3287d ago )

Star Fox
Devil's Third
Fatal Frame V
Yoshi's Woolly World
Mario Maker

Splatoon next month

Of course unannounced E3 reveals

DryBoneKoopa853287d ago

Every time I see Fatal Frame 5 is coming I get so excited! I hope Nintendo bundles 4 with 5. Now that would blow away my year for me!

Magicite3287d ago

I doubt it, unless U consider Mario Maker major.

YosefH643286d ago

AS of right now, they are still expecting to release Star Fox as the big game for the year but it doesn't look good that there's been no news on that AT ALL.

Finished? It's looking like it's barely even started. They just pulled a bunch of Japanese footage.

Neonridr3287d ago

I believe they said that all the locations were localized, but now they are working on getting all the voice acting done. Can't imagine this is a two day process.

They didn't "pull a bunch of japanese footage". They were playing the finished japanese game.

SageShinigami3285d ago

lol. So many disagrees--Nintendo's dickriders are incredible.

wonderfulmonkeyman3285d ago (Edited 3285d ago )

What's really incredible is what you're calling those that disagree, when you clearly weren't smart enough to consider that they wouldn't want to show off a version of the game with uneven translations, and thus wouldn't show it even if they were nearly done translating it.

Big_Game_Hunters3287d ago

Yeah?? wouldve never guessed after that japane.. oops i mean American direct we just had.

Maybay3287d ago

With 100+ hours of content, it'll take a monumental amount of time to translate this title.

DeusEx-Machina3287d ago (Edited 3287d ago )

That English narrator was just terrible. I sincerely hope this is not an indication for the quality of acting we're going to be served in the localization.

Considering the high quality acting of the all British cast from the original Xenoblade, that would be a huge let down.

Big_Game_Hunters3287d ago (Edited 3287d ago )

Nah thats just the treehouse girl because they haven't hired VA ilm guessing. Anyway, if you or anyone knows where i can find the treehouse footage i'll get you a bubble or something. I decided not to watch it to not spoil exploration for myself, but i'm regreting not watching it and can't find it.

Yea. I own it but don’t want to pull out the Wii U

Zeldafan64310d ago

I never unplugged my Wii U. Still play it almost daily but a definitive edition of X would be appreciated.

jznrpg310d ago (Edited 310d ago )

It’s one of the systems I have the least games for . Though there are some really good games on it. I have systems from Atari’s , Nintendo’s, Segas , TurboGrafx 16 , PS’s etc etc so I put a few in my game storage room. I do pull it out from time to time and I have a new one in a box but won’t open that .
But I’d really like to have a Chronicles X but not on Switch whatever the next console is preferably so they can add more quality to it .

Zeldafan64309d ago

Lucky, you didn't need to explain that.

Zeldafan64310d ago (Edited 310d ago )

Playing X at 1080/60 would be great so waiting for the Switch successor would be ideal but it wouldn't be smart to make it a launch game. It would suck waiting til 2025 to get X definitive edition but I think that's what will happen.

I know people say Wii U has no games but I've got over 100 games for it.

luckytrouble310d ago

I mean, when people say a system has "no games" they aren't saying the system literally had no games released on it. They're more commenting on the state of games that make the system worth owning. For many the Wii U never had a game that made the system worth owning, or if it did, it has a Switch port or successor at this point anyways so they were effectively proven correct to have never purchased a Wii U in the first place.

Yes, depending on the individual the Wii U remains worth owning for the handful of games still locked to it, but for many they'd rather just wait to see what else gets ported in the future at this point. There is exceptionally little you can only play on a Wii U these days though, especially with the eShop dead so anything that may have existed only on it is no longer of consequence to non-Wii U owners.

chaos999310d ago

They said it cost too much time to remap controls unfortunately

luckytrouble310d ago

In all fairness, that's probably a reason they're passing on a few of the still Wii U locked games. Starfox Zero, among the reasons you may not want to port it, would need its entire control scheme reworked from the ground up. Chronicles X may not be as extreme of a case (I don't know, I've never played or watched gameplay), but often unless a game is going to sell really well, it can be hard to convince a company to do more than the basic expected remaster work. Heck, a lot of people figure the only reason we got Galaxy 1 in the 3D All Stars collection for example is because they had already done the work for the Nvidia Shield port for China, which subsequently is likely the major reason they didn't include Galaxy 2. They simply did not want to remap the game controls. It may sound silly since it sounds so simple just by the words, but you have to figure more goes into it than you're probably thinking if it's that much of a sticking point.

DefaultComment310d ago

Yes, I agree. We definitely need to retake Xenoblade Chronicles X which btw it left us on a cliffhanger suggesting there wiull be a XCX2 .... and im up for it.

isarai310d ago (Edited 310d ago )

I put so many hours into X, just please ad a music volume setting was going crazy walking around base and hearing

"UH UH... YEAH!.. YEAH!...YEAHYEAHYEEEEAAAAH!..U H UH!"

FinalFantasyFanatic310d ago

I can't believe they haven't done it yet, it's the Xenoblade game I'm most excited for, I would buy it in a heart beat.

Operation Rainfall: 10 Years On

It has been 10 years since Xenoblade arrived in the US, we look back at how the game almost never showed up if not for a group of dedicated fans.

I wish The Last Story would make a comeback.I played it years before I got around to Xenoblade. Mainly because of the scalping going on because of Xeno's limited run. It took me a few tries to get into it but once I did I couldn't put it down. A Wii hidden gem for sure.

pietro1212747d ago

As much as I love Xenoblade, Last Story was the better game IMO. I wish Nintendo would remaster or simply port the game onto the Switch.

porkChop748d ago

Xenoblade went on to be a really successful franchise too.

pietro1212748d ago

I wish the Last Story get a Switch remaster or remake. That game deserves a second chance

If they're not important enough to be held on their own official storefront then they're not important enough to give your money to Nintendo.

Buy these, physically, used or simply emulate them.

This article comes off as nothing more than advertising games that Nintendo, themselves, don't care to offer you... buy now!

ocelot07789d ago

Wait hang on where all the outrage? I swear when Sony tried to do this with PS3 last year. There was outrage from all corners of the gaming universe.

Why does no one care Nintendo is doing it?

MadLad789d ago (Edited 789d ago )

There has been.
A lot of it.

Simply type in "3DS" in Google and tell me what you see.

ocelot07789d ago

Oh I have a fair few websites reporting on it. But where is the outcry on here? I remember their was 2-3 approved top voted articles when Sony announced they where closing the PS3 store. All slating them and not caring about customers.

I should of worded it better. Where is all the outrage on n4g?

MadLad789d ago (Edited 789d ago )

N4G is a fanboy site, mainly frequented by only Sony.
Microsoft is their direct competition, so you'll typically only see articles that are made to rile up those fanbases.

Nintendo does it's own thing, so they're rarely brought up, aside from their fans. The most you get is the same typical two or three posters claiming Nintendo is only for infants.

If you come to N4G for educated discourse and reasonable discussion, this isn't the place. Sad as it is.

pietro1212789d ago

It's lame that it is shutting down. Now I feel rushed buying all the rpgs I missed out on the system.

XxINFERNUSxX789d ago

You guys know that even archive.org has 3DS roms, and all other console roms. I'm downloading 846GB of 3DS roms and will add the best games to my soon to be soft modded New 3DS 😁. Might as well throw in DS and other emulators in there to. Guys this would be the best way to play and enjoy the 3DS. Just need to buy a bigger micro SD card and format it to FAT32, which you can if it's even 256GB or larger there are ways.

XxINFERNUSxX789d ago

This should help if you want to soft mod it excellent guide and up to the latest and probably last 3DS firmware update: https://www.youtube.com/wat...
