2014 Games Anticipation Thread - Nintendo Systems

[irixith]

Anything Nintendo puts out that isn't Smash Bros. or Pokemon or Fire Emblem-ish, I'm excited for. There's a new Kirby, Donkey Kong, Mario Kart and Yoshi's Island on the way. YES PLEASE! Anything with Mario or Zelda or Metroid or Lego in the title, bring it. Nintendo is absolutely rocking the house with the 3DS and the Wii U, no matter what the numbers say. There are very few newer games outside the current Nintendo ecosystem that I've had as much fun with. If they continue to knock it out of the park the way they have been, I don't see any reason to invest in another console.

Hmm. Well, I love 2D platformers so I will be giving the new Donkey Kong a try. Obviously, Zelda Dynasty Warriors will be great catharsis (as DW games always are). Mario Kart 8 will be fantastic from what I played of the E3 demo so I'm looking forward to that as well. This year should also give us Bayonetta 2, which looks amazing. Should be a good year for Nintendo systems provided they can pump games out fast enough. They need to, seeing as nobody else is going to provide games on the Wii U anymore.

Not really sure what's coming on 3DS so if there's anything I should look forward too feel free to let me know.

I'm really anticipating what Nintendo is going to announce for this year and Q1 2015. Just because, they've spilled so many beans for 2014 already ... what can they possibly have up their sleeves? But, I like Nintendo junk.

For 3DS, Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright, Kirby, Yoshi's New Island all have my attention as well as Smash Bros.

For Wii U, Mario Kart, Smash Bros, and Donkey Kong I have pre-orders for. I'm interested in the Hyrule Warriors title ... though I'm pretty wary of it. Dynasty Warriors is usually fun ... for 30 minutes. I hope that this plays out differently.

Other than that, I'm just really interested in what they're going to talk about throughout the year. If they're dropping Mario Kart and Smash Bros. in spring or summer ... what do they have planned for fall and winter? Speculation like this, as well as some of the recent announcements of their employment scaling is pretty exciting. It really looks like they're expanding their top studios so they can work on more projects at once (or bigger projects even).

In terms of stuff like Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem and X ... I really am excited by those, but I have no idea if they're this year.

Probably too early for Nintendo to show its hand. With the exception of Smash Bros, they seem to have a "let's announce it 3-9 months before it comes out" mentality with hype, which is alright with me.
