- Style Savvy 3/New Style Boutique 2 (3DS) – Localisation not announced for NA.
Let me know if I've missed anything. A Nintendo game is one that is published by Nintendo. Pokémon GO is not listed as it is published by TPC. Pocket Card Jockey not listed as it is published by Game Freak. Pokémon Rumble World is not listed as has already been released in all territories digitally.
My thoughts:
Rumour has it that only one more retail Wii U game was to be announced. That seems to have been Paper Mario as most expected but I had hoped for a TTYD-esque Paper Mario as opposed to a SS-esque one. I hope this isn't true because that is a pretty terrible final first party line up for the Wii U. Only two games that I'm definitely buying. TMS #FE as I do like the look of it and it has had good reviews from Japan and Zelda U (unless as seems likely it also comes to NX). Star Fox limited edition and Pokkén are both possibilities, Star Fox depending on reviews and I might buy Pokkén on a whim. Haven't decided yet though I know I'm terrible at fighting games.
3DS lineup is much better than Wii U's 2016 although it has nothing on 3DS' 2012. Unlike Wii U, rumours state that there are still one or two more unannounced games for 2016 so it has the potential to get better. A new Pokemon is coming out and that always consumes my life for about a week and keeps me playing on and off all the way until the next one so that alone guarantees I'll be getting more out of my 3DS than Wii U this year. Additionally I'm interested in Fire Emblem, Kirby, Metroid (I think it looks great!), Rhythm Paradise and the Dragon Quests.
Pikmin 4 is an instabuy no matter what platform it is on for me. I'll probably download Miitomo but more out of curiosity about Nintendo's first mobile title than interest in it. I hope Detective Pikachu gets a localization but I have a feeling we'll be waiting a long time.
The lineup makes it pretty obvious that most of EPD's resources are on NX now. I'll buy NX (As I'm confident in Nintendo's ability to put out enough games that I'd like for it) as soon as it goes below £200. Launch buy if it has the following features:
- Region Free.
- Greater than or equal in power to PS4.
- Ability to use accounts on multiple systems simultaneously.
- Some type of Physical Medium still supported.
