this is whats wrong with 'Games Journalism' its seems to be up to the public to ask these questions of the devs/pubs rather than these so called journalists.

I've not checked the list but do these ever contain any previously not disclosed information. Especially on the 3rd party side? My past self thinks the answer is no and since no publisher has announced a release date (or even declared they are working on it, a Nintendo direct of "oh yeah SMT4 is coming to Europe I think" is all our information)
Try contacting NISA Europe or Ghostlight (these two are potential suspects) and keep bugging them until they confirm or deny involvement.
It is the European version of Famicom Wars DS 2 (aka Advance War Days of Ruin) on the Japanese side. Expect it as a Club Nintendo eShop exclusive in 2016 (the Japanese finally got it like that)
Yes, seems that way. Everything on the list has been previously announced on a Nintendo Direct as Q1 2014 games or are pending titles (Bayonetta, X etc.)
PLvsAA hasn't been set in stone for NA, it'll be announced at a ND with a Q2 2014 date most likely. Hopefully it's the same reason SMT4 for EU isn't on the list...

it's been announced for the UK, and It seems to be Nintendo themselves, you can rule out GL and NISA already.

I doubt it's NISA either since they have announced European Releases of SMT
S: Soul Hackers and Etrian Odyssey Untold between April and now. Why should they keep silent about SMT IV if they publish it but announce other Atlus games instead? It's not like NISA at all!I am therefore pretty sure that NoE is publishing it.
Pretty sure they were referring to SMT IV, not Bravely Default (though I am looking forward to that).

That Wii U list is pretty great. Sure, there's less titles than last year, but last year I skipped Lego City, Game & Wario, New Super Luigi U, Wii Party U and Wii Fit U whereas every single game on this list is a definite buy.
Plus there'll most likely be 1 or 2 more games simultaneously announced and released this year.
Also, I'm sure SMT4 will release eventually. I'm thinking it's Nintendo themselves publishing it now, and we know how quiet they are about anything other than their next 1 or 2 releases. I mean, look at Kirby, that has to be scheduled for May or so, yet we've heard nothing.

I expect the launch windows to look like this
August/September: Hyrule Warrios
October: Smash Bros
November: Bayonetta 2
X slipping to 2015
The drought to MK8 and post MK8 are horribly long.

Watch_Dogs not in the list is not something new. Has this really not been noticed before?
It appeared on April 25th 2013 http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2013/130425e.pdf not in Japan, just US/Europe
It's still there on July 31st 2013 http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2013/130731_3e.pdf now in Japan/US/Europe; also Europe mentions the special edition Watch Dogs (Vigilante/Dedsec/Uplay)
It disappeared on October 31st 2013 http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2013/131031e.pdf

3rd-party list for Wii U (North America + Europe):
Watch_Dogs would be an example of a core, major third-party port from a major publisher.
My fear is that if Watch_Dogs really was coming out for the Wii U, Nintendo would want to flaunt it. They have both LEGO games on there, so why not Watch_Dogs if it was coming out?
Are these supposed to just be Q4 products (or something) or are these all of the 3rd party titles announced for 2014 so far? That is atrocious...

listen to the mad man
Every single one of these release lists, every single quarter, since 10+ years ago, has been a partial release list. Something showing up might be an interesting hint that it's going to come, but something being absent is not confirmation that it isn't.

Project CARS isn't listed either and this will come for sure.

I wonder if it was cancelled around that time...or if Nintendo just randomly decided to take it off the list and replace it with two LEGO game mentions for whatever reason.
lego of zelda incoming. buy the lego of zelda set for your lego of zelda video game and use nfc to bring your creations into the game.
oh dear. i just hyped myself up an unreasonable amount.

Nintendo did say they would license out IP, so Lego Zelda, Lego Mario and Lego Pokemon are imo quite likely
Must be when Ubisoft delayed the game Nintendo took it off and since it still doesnt have a release date they have not put it back on
I doubt that, if it was canceled back then Ubisoft would have announced it being canceled on WiiU during the time they delayed the game instead of containing to offer the game up for preorder, It think it just more with the game being delayed.

LEGO working with Nintendo? I thought there was bad blood over the N&B block.
*sigh* I'll add it to my list of things to contact NOE customer services about (the other things being a digital transfer save tool download code and 50Hz).Someone asked on the Ghostlight Twitterpage and got this response a few days ago

Yeah, Watch Dogs on Wii U is R.I.P. Terrible Wii U third party list. And 3DS doesn't have much to get excited about either on the third party front. We'll see when a Direct hits. They must have some more stuff in the works to fill out the rest of the year on 3DS at least.
But nice to see X scheduled for this year. Looking forward to pretty much everything on that first party Wii U list (except Warriors and am skeptical about SMTxFE).
