My bad, I thought the Shin Emblem thing was a 3DS game.
Is that definitely out this year too?
Shin Emblem is ok, but personally I have decided on Fire Megaten

I guarantee you guys that Yoshi is coming later in NA to make sure there are plenty of Wooly World Amiibos available for the launch.
For us European folk,
Kirby - 8th May
Splatoon - 29th May
Yoshi- 26th June
Mario Maker - September
Fatal Frame - winter?
Starfox - winter?
Xenoblade - winter?
Unannounced new game at e3 - winter?
Maybe Devil's Third? - winter again?
I'd say eight or nine games is pretty good going compared to the usual standard for Nintendo to see us out for the rest of the year.
yes, that's why I suspect that:
1) no unannounced game will hit 2015
2) one of those games (Starfox?) will be delayed.

We will keep the "Aostia was right" t shirts ready
That means more than Zelda for 2016? Pretty good for a coffin.
Yoshi is June in Europe and Fall in NA, hmm I wonder if there will be a trade off that NA gets earlier then Europe
I guarantee you that the over-all late release dates of Yoshi (as in late June) is related to the manufacturing of those yarn amiibos, rather than the game itself.

Of course. Since Europe is getting it by June, it will be completely finished for everyone at that time already.
What I meant was, the Yoshi game is ready for distribution now. It's the yarn amiibo production that's stopping its release now. Just a few months ago, the NoA press releases said it would be an early 2015 title, and it was prepared for classification in Australia. It's the yarn amiibo production that delayed it to June.
For us European folk,
Kirby - 8th May
Splatoon - 29th May

Rodea - September
Fatal Frame - October (most likely)
Starfox - winter?

That Rodea Sky Soldier game is officially confirmed for September now if anyone is interested in it so I'll update the list.

2015 best wii u year.
Hey until Pier Solar ships, Wii U will have had more retail releases than Dreamcast this year. Fewer third party retail releases though.
Part of the problem imo right now is that there isn't really the typical party/family friendly or even mainstream Nintendo game for the holidays with what we know. Zelda was somewhat big enough to fill that gap, but Star Fox, Xeno, Devil's Third, and Fatal Frame all don't hit that audience. Star Fox might be the closest, but I don't think it's big enough. Maybe we'll see an Animal Crossing or something, or perhaps Splatoon will just be promoted alongside promoting Smash & MK8 again.
I know Devil's Third is likely to be M or its equivalent, what was Fatal Frame's rating in JP?
So nothing for December?
Although I've really not enjoyed the games in the past, I'm really looking forward to playing Yoshi Wooly World with my niece and nephew. I got them a Wii U for Christmas, and I just love playing 3D World together with them.
Past games really have no bearing on Woolly World since this one is developed by Good-Feel. The past games were made by Arzest/Artoon (aside from the original SNES and N64 entries, of course).
C'mon. We're not talking a drastic change in gameplay here; it's still Yoshi laying and throwing eggs in a 2D platformer. I wasn't big on it when Miyamoto did it originally, and wasn't big on the DS and 3DS editions. This one seems much more charming and has that relaxing feel that Epic Yarn did.
Sure, if your issues are with the fundamentals this isn't gonna change your tune.
Which brings me back to my original point that despite having problems with the games in the series in the past, I AM looking forward to playing this one with my family because of its charm.
OP needs a bit of an update. We have release dates for more stuff and it's missing Rodea, Fatal Frame and the Lego games due out this year. Captain Toad and Mario Party are out already.

Still holding out for that Kid Icarus Uprising "Remaster". More people need to play that game with less complaints about controls.
Me too. I'm still doubting whether I should buy it on 3DS or not. A New 3DS nub enabling patch / re-master would push me over the egde, but a Wii U version would be even better possibly.
Again, Kid Icarus: Uprising is impossible to play without a stylus (or similar input method). It will never be playable with sticks on any platform.

On Wii U they could appear somewhere on the TV since there would be so much more display space.Just wanted to second this. Besides, a big part of the charm of KI: U is being able to see the portraits of the characters commentate while you play. They show up on the bottom screen and it's much easier to glance down at the bottom 3DS screen from the top screen than it is to glance down at your GamePad from your TV.
1) a Wii U version could use a stylus on the gamepad
2) it could work with a Wiimote
But yes, dual analog would just be too slow

I'd love to play this game, but the control scheme on 3DS just looks painful. The Wiimote pointer or gamepad touch screen could work.

I know but the control scheme, even if there wasn't really a better option, leads to the ergonomical issues. It's sort of weird to release a game that is physically painful to play. Also, I wouldn't use the 3DS shoulder buttons to fire, I'd be way too afraid to break them.The controls or the control scheme isn't the problem. It's purely an ergonomical issue of the 3DS hardware.
The TV has much more available space so the dialogue could appear on areas not used for the gameplay, the playable 3DS space could not fill the entire TV even though it displays more stuff.That's a good idea, but ultimately people would complain that it was taking up space from the "real" game (and it could be a bit more distracting), so people would toggle it off and then there would be no point to it. I dunno. I want as many people to be able to enjoy this amazing game as possible, I just have a hard time seeing it coming to Wii U for the reasons detailed above by TheMoon and for those I've mentioned as well.

I doubt it'd appear on Wii U even though it seems possible, but I know I can't bring myself to buy it on 3DS. It hurts just looking at the way you have to use it.
No. Sometimes I'm thinking about taking it, but then I remember I own tons of stuff I haven't played fully yet even though I'm currently mostly a 3DS/Wii U gamer, so I think: "After I empty my backlog." Also, even if I can deal with the controls, I'm just scared to use the shoulder buttons too much. And there is the hope they eventually port it, it's not entirely impossible.Hold up, though. You haven't tried the 3DS version?

But yeah, if it becomes obvious they won't port it and I can find it for cheap, I'll take it, just to see. I know it's a very good game and I eventually won't pass on it.
