I really don't think they'll go digital only. Their digital sales are up, but I feel like they know it can't happen yet. I'm just curious if they'll utilize a new format or not. I thought I had remembered it being a rumor coming up at some point that they would be utilizing a new cartridge format, but that might just be in my dreams of having more cartridges again compared to discs lol Wait, we've all been wrong about this...I get what Nintendo is doing for this year. |

I'm surprised. It's gonna miss the 30th anniversary of Zelda which is kinda of a small disappointment in that regard. Man, this is gonna be a boring year for Nintendo with how little is coming out for either handheld or Wii U. http://nintendoinquirer.com/blog/2016/04/27/zelda-wii-u-delayed-2017/ Nintendo is also making this E3 focused on the new Zelda, I imagine giving us the full reveal on gameplay, it's name, and all the goodies we've been waiting for, but won't be detailing the NX at all. That's a weird choice, though I feel like they'd at least reveal something...at least the name of it at the very end of the event to say that'll it'll release both on Wii U and whatever the NX will be called. And just to add, here's abit of new art for Zelda that seems to confirm his blue look we saw from before and some sort of book that I'm guessing is the hook of the story perhaps? I like it, I just turned it into a really awesome background I found for the new Zelda lol Things continue to get weirder, Zelda is not only the focus for E3 in terms of their Direct, but it'll be the only game available on the floor. I mean, they are only going to promote a game that won't release this year? What about Tokyo Mirage Sessions? Pokemon? That Kirby game? Paper Mario? It's not like they have many games releasing this year. I know they'll have big reveals elsewhere on their own time, but E3 is still kind of a good way to lay out the rest of the year for everyone. --- End quote --- Everything I'm hearing about Nintendo (Except that the NX releases in March 2017 and that there will be new smartphone apps featuring Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem) is coming from WSJ, and those are the folks who claimed NX was coming out this year, Nintendo will no longer support the Wii U/3DS, and other erroneous bs. So I say take anything WSJ says with a metric ton of salt. I find it super hard to believe that they won't have any other games at E3. I guarantee you they will do the E3 fest at BB again, and they will have the same games at E3 at BB... TMS (just now noticing that is SMT backwards), Kirby Robobot, Zelda Wii U/NX (if really playable), and maybe Paper Mario or something else, honestly probably a second 3DS title. Last year, they made a big deal about Star Fox Zero, and having the cool simulator like demos, but they still had other games playable, like Super Mario Maker and Tri Force Heroes. --- End quote --- ::) |

Physical games yes the Wii U has dried up the only ones I can think of that I'm looking forward that have been announced are these Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Paper Mario Color Splash ...maybe Mighty Number 9 other than that I know it doesn't matter in the end because this is a personal list, but I got 4 more Physical games I still want to pick up so I know I'm good as far as Wii U games go digital side there are still a good Handful of games coming out on the eShop mainly indies and VC Axiom Verge Lost Reavers Armikrog Pokemon Snap Xenoblade Chronicles etc... as for Zelda getting delayed to have a simultaneous launch on Wii U and NX, I'm fine with that as long as the Wii U version isn't delayed to come out after the NX Version. Like Twilight Princess on the Gamecube. Also like ctracy87 said I find it hard to believe they're only going to have Zelda on the floor @E3. only the Wii U version of Zelda I can understand because it's gotta be much more nearing Completion. Release Launch window I actually think is very intriguing because that's during Tax Season. I can see AS LONG AS IT HAS A GOOD LAUNCH WINDOW people using there tax return to get one. Will I again depends on the launch window if I by one at Launch or later. My only fear really comes from Third parties. I don't want to see gimped version of Multi-platform releases, or games released half a year ago at a full $60 price tags, then have them complain about low sales for those games, and pull support because of that. |

The industry used to think games only sold during holiday season, then they realized that they could release games at any time of year and people would still buy up, with minor exceptions maybe. I know that I plan on using my tax return to pay for my NX. As for E3, Nintendo I think usually does some stuff off site as well, so I wouldn't be surprised if there is a pop up Nintendo thing at a nearby hotel with upcoming games like TMS, Kirby, etc. Same thing will probably show up at Best Buy. Plus, just because they aren't showing something on the show floor doesn't mean they won't be covering it in their Treehouse. As a side note, I've been waiting for Nintendo to announce a new Pokemon Snap for Wii U... it seems kind of obvious, no? |
