The Wii U, which was released about 2 years ago, and the 3DS which was released about 4 years ago, and these 2 systems are Nintendos best since the Nintendo 64. The Wii U, which had a rough launch for the first year or so, is an amazing system. It launched on November 18th 2012, and honestly was not a must have system. The Wii U has recently turned around since then, with games such as: Super Smash Bros for Wii U, Mario Kart 8, Hyrule Warriors, and Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze.
Then there is the Nintendo 3DS. This system, similar to the Wii Us launch was not that impressive. It had a lack luster game selection from the beginning until games such as Mario Kart 7, Star Fox 64 3D, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, ect. Obviously this system looks great. Now they are getting ready to release the "New" Nintendo 3DS in North America, some time in 2015.
So as you can see Nintendo had a heck of a year this past year in 2014, but Nintendo is getting prepared to have a better year in 2015 with the games that they are releasing, here are most of them.
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse
This game is set to be the first game released for the Wii U in 2015 in North America. It will release sometime in February, and is a sequel to a Nintendo DS game Kirby Canvas Curse. This game looks impressive and really pushes the Nintendo Hardware. I really hope this game does really well for Nintendo, however I don't think it will move Nintendo systems as much as other games will.
CodeName: S.T.E.A.M.
CodeName Steam, which is a Nintendo 3DS game, is a brand New franchise for Nintendo. CodeName Steam was originally revealed at an E3 press conference in which they announced the game. People were very angry, but I don't think the anger was out of anger of what they were seeing, I think it was just people wanted Nintendo to announce Majoras Mask 3D, so people began ranting. But I don't think this game will move 3DS systems of the shelves. It might when reviews come in for the game. But I just hope that this game will be able to be good, but I am scared that it will not.
The Legend of Zelda: Majoras Mask 3D
This game I am very excited about. Majoras Mask is the only 3D Zelda game I have not beaten. This is a remake of a game that came out for the Nintendo 64 in the year 2000. I really hope that I can fully enjoy this game. When I first played this game I didn't enjoy the 3 day mechanic. So the plot of the story is that this monster named Skull Kid is terrorizing the town of Termina. This Skull Kid got a mask named Majoras Mask which a man named The Happy Mask Salesman has asked Link to go find Majoras Mask within 3 days, But also the skull kid is going to send the moon crashing into the earth within 3 days. It is a very dark game that focuses more on sidequests. To say the least, I can not wait till Majoras Mask 3D!
Yoshi's Wooly World
Yoshi's Wooly World, which was announced in a Nintendo Direct in January of 2013, is an amazing looking game. When we first saw it, it was very early in development and they just called it "Yarn Yoshi." But when E3 2013 was coming up, we all expected them to talk about it, and that didn't happen. In fact heading into E3 2014, people thought the game must have gotten canceled. I had given up hope that the game was still in development when the start of March of 2014. But they showed off the game again at E3 2014, and what they showed at E3 and what they showed at the Nintendo Direct did not match up. They changed up the game a lot, but it was for the better. Anyways it was very early in development when they first showed it off, so that is to be expected.
Splatoon
This game looks interesting. I have a feeling this is going to be the next BIG Nintendo Series that will keep moving forward. I have a feeling this game will steal the year for Nintendo. This game is so colorful and it just seems so good. It is an online Multiplayer game where there is 2 teams that battle in a 3rd person shooting contest to cover the most area in Ink for there color. Its a cool concept that I hope will be a good game.
Xenoblade Chronicles X
I have not played the original Xenoblade Chronicles game for the Wii, but I've heard so many good things about that game. I'm going to get the remake that comes out for the "New" Nintendo 3DS. But Xenoblade Chronicles X is a Wii U with a huge open world. The original had a huge open world, so I expect nothing less from Xenoblade Chronicles X. I am going to try it out, however I don't know if I am really going to like it. This game was announced in a Nintendo Direct in 2013, and was not talked about for a while. The game was originally called just "X" until it got its official title Xenoblade Chronicles X at E3 this year
Star Fox Wii U
This game got announced at E3 this past year, and got some more talk about it at the Game Awards 2014. They announced that this game will be out before The Legend of Zelda for Wii U in 2015. What scares me about Mr. Miyamota saying that is that we haven't seen anything! All we saw was Mr. Miyamota playing the game with a blurry screen. Nothing! So I don't know if this game will make the deadline for 2015, because more realistically I think it could be delayed. But I'm not a game developer and I think we will see some more of it at E3 2015, but we'll see.
The Legend of Zelda for Wii U
This game got announced in a Nintendo Direct in 2013 when Nintendo announced that and Wind Waker HD. We didn't see anything from Zelda Wii U until E3 2014. It has been stated that Nintendo was going to show off the game at E3 2013 but didn't want it to take attention from other games that were further in development. At E3 2014 they showed off a quick trailer and Aonuma talking about the open world conventions of the game. This game has a huge open world. So open that it has been stated that the entire world of Twilight Princess is just one area. It is such a huge world in this game, it is incredible. Then at the Game Awards they showed off more of the game, but of them actually playing the game! It was amazing!
