I saw the June 26th date for Yoshi's Wooly World on a Czech site the other day and Splatoon's date matches the one the South African one (which revealed Splatoon amiibo and a Splatoon Squid amiibo + Splatoon bundle, and Greninja & Jigglypuff amiibo on the same day)

Xenoblade Chronicles X is coming out in like the 29th of April in Japan if I remember correctly.
No way it will appear in the West in that time frame of those dates.
May 29 sounds about right for Splatoon. last Friday in May occupying that Mario Kart 8 slot.
dammit! I've avoided the amiibo plague so well up until now.....

"Yoshi's Woolley World" is either a strange typo, or a terrible name.

deetz?
a Mario Kart 8 Direct happened on April 30th last year so I'd expect one around the same time for Splatoon, probably earlier because it's a new IP and not a known franchise.

I can confirm this is on the press site.
Why do you think that? Because an Amazon listed it as such? That is far from a confirmation.
For what it's worth, that South African retailer listed the Kirby date as May 8th a couple of weeks before Nintendo did.

XBX, Zelda and all remaining 2015 games all come out on 26th of June, it was already leaked by amazon.it.

This schedule seems quite probable and Splatoon's date in line with MK8's one from last year. It would be nice to finally have two month in a row with Nintendo releases on Wii U.

If this is true, Europe is getting P&D before US, ha ha.
Honestly though, Yoshi's Wooly World in June makes so much sense. So it is probably fake.
Edit: Joe confirmed this is actually on the press site. So it may actually be legit.

We haven't seen so much as a screenshot of the XBX localisation, and you think it's coming out in the next three months? I'd dial those expectations down if I were you.

Please check this thread.
There were press events last week and previews up yesterday. May release was confirmed during that.

I honestly didn't even know that the "new" release date for Splatoon came from Amazon, guys. I just read it so many times I thought it was official Sorry then.

I'll confirm that this does indeed come from Nintendo UK's press site:
Still listed for TBA 2015.

Didn't someone tease we are getting a Direct this week?
I bet it is for Yoshi's Wooly World if it is confirmed for June.

If you really think XBX is due within that time frame, with all the localisation that'll take, you're in for a surprise!

Will take Kirby, Splatoon and Yoshi. Great summer for my Wii U. I still need to try the S.T.E.A.M demo before deciding on a purchase though.

I'm honestly not expecting XBX before Christmas. At best I'd expect a late summer release.
There is a lot of competition right now for action RPGs with Bloodborne and soon with Witcher 3 so it doesn't make sense to rush it to the market in May, not to mention, it's a really large game, much more so than the original Xenoblade so there's probably too much content to translate for that to be viable.

XBX I think will be Q3 at the earliest if you want to be optimistic. It takes at least 3 months to dub and translate text. My guess is they will start localization after the Japan release. So I guess Mario Maker got pushed to Q3 as well. Padding out that release schedule!

Fake, NoE has to rename everything on there first.
- Yoshi and the World of Knitted Jumpers
- Logic Noggin Ticklers & Flying Wing Beasts Z + Logic Noggin Ticklers & Flying Wing Beasts: New Super Mario Bros. Edition
- Secret File for Nintendo 3DS: Strike Team Eliminating the Alien Meanies
- Inkling Kerfuffle

Oh man that P&D release date. How to kill Kirby (combine lukewarm US reception with game to eclipse it). Its not like there isn't a completely empty April to release it in...
STEAM isn't out in Japan until May so the question should be why does America get it in March?

Yoshi in June, fuck yeah. I need that game badly and it bums me out we haven't seen anything new for it at all since E3. Barely making it for first half 2015.
Wish Splatoon was earlier than May 29th but I can't complain too much really.

as I said in the Wii U 2015 games topic, I was veru harsh on NoE because of the Kirby delay, but if we will end up withi this first half:
Jan: Toad
Feb: 3DS loadout (N3ds, Zelda MM, MH4)
March: Mario Party 10, Mario vs DK, IE Go 2
April: Xeno3D (and Affordable space adventure on the eshop)
May: Steam, Kirby, Splatoon, Puzzle&Dragon
June: Yoshi
I'd be very happy. this would also leave space for a good paced second half of releases. Speaking of Wii U only, we could see Devil Third, Xeno, Starfox, Mario maker and Zelda in the incoming 6 months.

Interesting, have not kept up with news. But yeah localization is not as simple as some people assume.
Yeah, I think all of those are definitely going to happen except maybe Zelda. That one may get Tropical Freezed, but I hope not.
Aside from the fact that English is a mandatory second language starting in 3rd grade in elementary school in Germany, Nintendo is probably the only publisher to only release a retail game if it supports the "Big 3" languages (EN, FR, DE). So yes, that may cause delay, but it's more often than that down to release timing, as you could see with Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney, which was not only released a good chunk of time earlier in Europe than in the US, but also was translated into (correct me if I'm wrong) 6 languages, all of them with voice acting in the respective language, too.
