Good, I'll be busy with other games and systems anyway. The game looked very undercooked last time they showed it. Still, it's kinda sad that they still seem tonhave trouble with development and doesn't exactly bode well for NX.

Yeah, especially since ones like Splatoon and Smash are still getting regular support. I guess NX would still be a year away and a years a long time but still.

Yoshi is also many months old and barely a late localization in the US (and not that great anyway, not even nearly as creative as Epic Yarn).

If they're not buying a Wii U to play them, they probably won't buy an NX either. Their loss.

Yep. Nintendo needs to keep it moving. There's always virtual console for the folks who missed out.

I love the art for this game, but everything else looks pretty bad to me. I'd love to see a new take on Starfox.
I sort of doubt it'll be just a quarter now. I feel like Wii U's 2016 will now look something more like this.
Mar- Mario & Sonic
May- Pokkén
Aug- Pikmin 4
Sep- Star Fox
Oct- Performa
Nov- Zelda
Dec- Mario Golf
Well it's Nintendo's job to make sure NX sells more than Wii U.

I think it'll probably end up being an early summer release (May or June). Why delay of game for only a few months, not really much development would be done in that time, when you factor in required QA.
The board game should of been just Amiibo's in general instead of Animal Crossing themed.

Unfortunately I have a feeling the stupid board game will do well too

My first thought when I saw the delay:
Nintendo is pulling some TP type stuff again...
But the delay doesn't seem long enough for it to be because they're trying to bring it to NX as well as leave it on WiiU.

Wii U is probably just gonna ride Mario Maker into the sunset at this point.

Tfw im more upset the Falco amiibo is probably gonna be delayed.
I think Nintendo is doing fine as a publisher. I don't think Sony or Microsoft has many more games announced for this year or next than Nintendo does, but they have much more third party support which helps smooth out delays and gaps in release schedule that they all suffer from.
Also, Pokken is not niche. It is a fighting game, but it's also pokemon. That is by no means niche.
Nintendo has tried a new take on the series with Adventures, Assault and Command. Nintendo finally tries to bring it back to something closer to 64 and people start bitching they want something different, it's a lose lose situation no matter what they do.
I've been extremely critical of WiiU for multiple reasons, but in all fairness Nintendo did the best they could do in terms of software output, considering they had to support the thing basically by themselves.
Of course, as I said, they shouldn't have been caught by surprise by the hurdles of the HD development, but coming 2012-13 and realizing they were clearly unprepared, what else could they have done other than releasing their usual stack of polished, high quality games?

Who'd care about the holiday lineup only when Wii 2010 overall looked like this: Monster Hunter Tri, Mario Galaxy 2, No More Heroes 2, Red Steel 2, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, Goldeneye, Epic Mickey (sold a ton), Donkey Kong Country Returns, Sonic Colours, Sin & Punishment 2, NBA Jam, Silent Hill, Kirbys Epic Yarn.
That's better than the entire WiiU library lol, let alone this year with nothing except ,,but Splatoon'' for 9 months until Mario Maker came out and then a bunch of late localisations.

That's exactly how it would be spaced out, but I have a hard time believing Nintendo would release 3 huge internal products (Star Fox, Pikmin, Zelda) on the second-half of 2016. Like how active is the market going to be?
The Falco Amiibo is from the Smash line, so I doubt it'll see a delay. If anything, if Wolf gets announced as Smash 4 DLC, we'll likely see his Amiibo released alongside Star Fox Zero.

Plus NX will be coming out. Star Fox by March, Pikmin 4 by August, cross gen Zelda in November.

Right, but Wii U games aren't the answer.
Besides, I could care less if those who passed on Wii U get to play the games they missed. I hope they remain Wii U exclusive long after the console's dead so I can sell them for big bucks.

True. Nothing could have moved WiiUs at this point (not to mention some game in a B-series with bad reception until now) and the few remaining fans of the console will defend anything, so there really was no reason to put more efficiency into developing Starfox. They are certainly focusing on mobile and NX right now.

Good.
maybe they should do a big wii vc or gc vc release to fill the gaps.

The biggest game there is Yoshi's Wooly World and many people including myself already have it. My Wii U's gonna get pretty dusty in the coming months

A little Zero Mission would go a long way.

That may well be the worst Oct-December lineup I've ever seen a console have.

They really need to focus on pimping out any possible DLC expansions for Smash Bros. and Mario Maker these holidays, if only to tide over the hardcore audience. That's an incredibly depressing line-up, and since I'm hesitating on Xenoblade X due to the mixed Japanese reception there literally isn't any other Wii U title left this year.

Holy shit.
Wiiu third party support is so bad that it seems like a missed opportunity... Surely a medium sized third party release could sell decently with such little competition.. Wow

If only it were that simple....
Platforms need games to maintain relevance. Telling the dev to take more time is nice and all, but what will the parents buy this Christmas and what will the kids play?
