  StarFox and Zelda for me. Lots of these games are slated for 2015 though and have no direction at all yet (such as StarFox) meaning we may not even see them in that year at all.

    TRENT86 on 03/07/2014 - 17:42

    Must be coming, you can pre order it already lol Unless that's a big mistake by retailers

    • 

      [Deactivated] on 03/07/2014 - 17:53

      Yeah they are coming for sure. We just have no idea what kind of game StarFox will be yet according to the games head dev.

      When the Wii U came out 2 years ago you could pre-order The Legend of Zelda with an estimated release year of 2013.

      Retailers don't give a dam. Scumbag ebgames.

        I don't know what's worse: these retailers offering pre-orders for games that are only half-finished, or the people that actually give them the money for a pre-order.
        The earliest you should pre-order anything is when they can actually tell you a release date.

        @Prizm:
        Retailers are at fault. They offered a pre-order for a game that had not been announced let alone started and gave a false release year for that game in order to coax people into giving them money that they would hold onto and benefit from without the customer receiving any advantage to having given them money. In fact, the customer actually loses interest they would have earnt over the 3+ years the game was in development that a bank would of paid them for holding their money all because the retailer falsely advertised a product.

        @heywes: I don't understand why you'd pre-order at all - unless there was some amazing pre-order bonus, or some sort of Dick Smith-esque discount. The retailer just laughs all the way to the bank to make interest off your pre-order dosh. Just buy a game on release day - they aren't going to sell out.

  • 

    FrankMcFuzz on 16/07/2014 - 08:12

    Shiggy did mention at E3 that they wanted StarFox, desperately, for 2015, and were willing to outsource some of the development process to make this possible.

  Zelda with the updated graphics and Mario Party with the new control possibilities looking forward to.. Just really hope they can implement some DLC for Mario Kart 8… Battle Mode was the only let down in such an awesome game. Like the Cups they should have had the original battle tracks (specifically 64) returned..

  Still hope Wii U can get up there with sales, don't want them to go the same way as Sega

  Super Smash
  Watch Dogs
  Human Element

    It's nice to know I'm not the only one waiting for Watch Dogs on Wii U.

      TRENT86 on 17/07/2014 - 16:59

      That's one im really looking forward to. Also hopefully it will be made even better since other versions can show flaws.

      Yeah the story is pretttttty shiiit, the gameplay is ok, but it doesnt really make up for it. Its kinda like the first Assasins creed, hasnt found its bearings yet.

        TRENT86 on 22/08/2014 - 16:00

        I think using watch dogs on the gamepad will make it better and unique

    Also SteamWorld Dig. I am so hanging for that on my Wii U. Still upset it isn't out yet. Along with 3-4 other indie titles that just look awesome.

    • 

      [Deactivated] on 14/07/2014 - 12:57

      Picked it up cheap on PS Plus, not that good tbh.

      • 

        [Deactivated] on 14/07/2014 - 16:03

        SteamWorld Dig? It looks fun. Simple game. Break stuff. Gather resources. Kill simple mobs.
        Its something I can sink time into.
        I would like an open world game to do that in as well. Something I can play mindlessly. Sadly nothing like that on the Wii U yet.
        Come on Nintendo, go talk to Notch, you acknowledge Minecraft would be a good fit, Notch acknowledges and says he would like it on the Wii U. Just go and talk to each other! I need a third copy of it!

        Looking forward to my free copy on the Vita (crossbuy) but also the pimped out PS4 version. There's no reason for it not being on the WiiU, it's crazy.

        @Where's_That_Cake:

        Your not wrong. Minecraft would be awesome on it. Though Notch and Nintendo have admitted this.

        Enjoying the PS4 & Vita? I cannot justify it myself. Whats it like for you? My cousin and mate a little disappointed, another cousin is content enough.
        Crossbuy is interesting but, its just not tempting enough for fork out over $700 for both consoles -_-

        I'm loving it, had Vita since launch and it's the best console I've had in years tbh. PS4 has had a fair bit of use but my Vita backlog keeps me coming back.

        @Where's_That_Cake:

        Hmm, interesting. So the Vita passed its "I lack game phase" like the 3DS did then? I have seen a few released but most looked like dull fps or adventure games with no soul.
        Though it does have some good looking RPGs I wouldn't mind playing, but so does the 3DS and I really need to buy those as well.

        @heywes: The range of RPG and JRPG on Vita is excellent. Also it has actually benefited in a way from the lack of Monster Hunter by getting a pile of great hunter games. Its by far my most used console.

        Interesting. I like hunter games. But Monster Hunter is too addictive. I look forward to MH4, wish it was out now :(

  twig on 04/07/2014 - 08:57

  • yoshi
  • splatoon
  • bayonetta 2 (includes 1)
  • captain toad
  • gamecube controller (pending on compatibility)

  I bought the Wii U knowing it'll mostly be for first party titles. The rest are franchises I'm not terribly interested in or will wait for reviews.

• 

  Pancake Lover on 09/07/2014 - 22:04

  *Mario Party 10
  *Captain Toad
  *Smash Bros so pumped and would love to see crossplay between Wii U and the 3DS/2Ds
  *Yoshi's Woolly World looks interesting
  *Splatoon looks very interesting would love to play a demo to get a feel for the game.

  That's mainly it never branched out to the Starfox and Zelda series which is something I must do want to get my hands on some origin Zelda games

• 

  FrankMcFuzz on 16/07/2014 - 08:16

  Smash Bros all the way, but I'm quite excited for Splatoon. Hopefully it's not 90 dollars.

  And obviously Zelda and Starfox. Goes without saying.

  The recent characters for Smash make me feel bad that I didn't finish the newest Fire Emblem.

• 

  TRENT86 on 26/07/2014 - 16:48

  I think smash will come out bundled with a gamecube controller so it will prob be $99

  • 

    sarmen2 on 27/07/2014 - 16:02

    Isn't there going to be a bundle like that in NA?

  sarmen2 on 27/07/2014 - 16:04

  Also, does anyone know if we get Bayonetta 1 on a disc like in North America or if we get a download code?

    TRENT86 on 28/07/2014 - 01:56

    Think it will be a download version but not 100% sure

    FrankMcFuzz on 05/08/2014 - 08:34

    And people say I'm a Nintendo Fanboy! D:

    To be srs for a second, I worry for Nintendo with the AMiibo things; copying Activision may be a sound financial decision, but it usually leads to the sucking out of the soul. Skylanders are akin to satan. I may get one, just because Reggie said it will level up to counter your playing style, which sounds epic.

    < Actually thinks Devil's Third looks good because tongue-in-cheek action games are the best action games.

    • 

      [Deactivated] on 05/08/2014 - 12:45

      Amiibo is meant to unlock additional content over a variety of games. If this is the case it holds a higher value then a single skylander especially given that a single skylander can have multiple models.

      I want a couple just because they look cool, but pricing is a big factor and the current rumored pricing is high.

      And everyone calls you a Fanboi Frank cause you go a little crazy when you post and people can't tell when your sarcastic, serious or just being Frank.

      • 

        FrankMcFuzz on 07/08/2014 - 08:49

        Neither can I, quite honestly. But it's safe to say that sarcasm is a vast majority of the things I say.

        Judging from how expensive their online store is, I'm assuming that the Amiibo things will be hellishly expensive.

        Where did you hear that? I have heard nothing at all on SSBU any where. No one has any information in regards to its launch.

        However, Nintendo did just license a toy company to make figures and they look pretty awesome. Look forward to those.

        New PC gets here soon, then I will try it out in 4k.

        Better on PC

        Wow, what a surprise, that's unlike every single game ever for the PC version to be the best (Obvious sarcasm is obvious)

        I heard it was pretty abysmal if you had the wrong graphics card (in week 1. This has almost inevitably been patched by now). Similar thing with Dark Souls 2. Better hop on Steam Reviews and Metacritic and give it a downvote and a 0! Nice one, PC gamers lol.

        And next-gen* current gen is still PS3 and Xbox360, because they're the only ones with current games (See: Actual games)

        Heavily disagree. Its incorrect. They are the previous gen.

        Your not wrong about them being the only one with games, but, that doesn't make them current gen any longer. Just means Sony and MS are being lazy with game releases. But oh well, you can have that perspective, no worries.

        Game ran fine on my 570. As long as I didn't try to jack the setting to a ridiculous point that I knew my card and cpu couldn't handle. But even un-maxed the game looked gorgeous.

        Good old Metacritic negative spam. This is of benefit to society.

        FrankMcFuzz on 16/09/2014 - 10:19

        @heywes: Hey, I believe you guys now. I actually like Destiny (But it might be because 2014 is a year of videogame famine and I'll take what I can get) and metacrtic is between 3.5 and 6.0 between the consoles, and even the reviewer score is only 75. And I think that's a bit unfair.

        However, I am still pissed at Bungie for putting a limit on Crucible marks you can earn per week (Assuming it wasn't Activision who pitched the idea/forced it on them)

        Yes the famine has been painful. Starting what, the 27th of this month? The drought ends and when it rains it poors.

        God dammit Nintendo. You had one job, release games. Not flood us with everything at once. Staggered releases would of been nice Nintendo, Staggered Releases!

        Destiny for PC would be my preference. The limit sounds dumb, limits are for micro-transaction games you don't pay for, not for games that you pay to purchase. What rubbish.

        FrankMcFuzz on 17/09/2014 - 09:22

        @heywes: Yeah, and it's stupid that you can't even BUY PAST the 'paywall'. Nope. You're just stuck. Resets weekly for something you can max in 4 hours. GG Bungie. Destiny for PC is rumoured for March next year though, and I would recommend it for NOW, but not for March next year which is around when ZELDA COMES OUT HNNG.

        Staggered releases? Here have Smash Brothers, here have Zelda Hyrule Warriors, here have Fantasy life, AMIIBOS, SPLATOON, BAYONETTA, TAKE IT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLL!!!!!!

        Then it's gunna go dry around April again. :c But at least I'll have like 18 games on my wii-u lol.
