"Nintendo has outlined its release schedule for next year. While none of the big games have been tied down with a precise date, the Kyoto based company says that Wii U titles Splatoon, Mario Maker, Yoshi’s Woolly World and Project Guard will be coming to the United States and Europe during the first half of 2015. The company also revealed that Code Name STEAM and Fossil Fighters Frontier will be coming 2015 for the Nintendo 3DS."
Nintendo has recently restored Wii U Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon online after five months of being offline.
Game Rant Writes "Mar10 Day is a fun yearly celebration of the Super Mario series, and Splatoon may warrant a fan-designated day of celebration in its own right."
How, exactly, did Splatoon reach heights rivalled only by Pokémon in Japan? New IPs from the House of Mario appear as often as shiny Pocket Monsters, yet typically move comparatively mediocre numbers or fall into relative obscurity behind the premium marques of Mario, Animal Crossing, Zelda, and Pokémon. Take Pikmin and ARMS, for example, which we adore but struggle to compete with the tentpole franchises when it comes to sales numbers or mainstream mindshare.
So, again, how has Splatoon risen to become one of Nintendo's most important series in Japan?
Now add in a Retro Studios Metroid game and possibly F-Zero with 30 racers online ... u got yourself a good looking 2015.
Definitely grabbing Yoshi's Woolly World and Splatoon. Hoping to get a release date on Mario Party 10 soon, too.
I hope Splatoon comes in the first half, because I'm really excited for that game.
Gonna pick up Woolly World for sure. I guess I'll have to wait for Xenoblade X by the second half, with more time it should only get better than what's already been shown (which looked pretty damn impressive in its own right).
Splatoon all day everyday
for some inkling skills
