Predicting the NX Launch Title Line Up

Sure, it's too early to tell anything about the console, but that's what makes speculation fun!

Kalebninja3865d ago (Edited 3865d ago )

I doubt they would put out an hd remaster/remake of an old mario game for a launch title. If they are smart they would make Mario Galaxy 3.

Heres what i think they should do.

Mario Galaxy 3
Mario kart 9 or even better, Nintendo Racing would blow shit up.
New Zelda ported over
Metroid
TP support like Dragon Quest 11 and such.
Pikmin 4
1 or 2 New IP's
Revive an old franchise

That is what the presentation should look like because that would give their console a skyrocketed launch. The only other thing i think could make it a sure success is an open world online pokemon which they just seem like they wont do.

LOL_WUT3865d ago

Cant wait for the the new Zelda game to be a NX launch title make it happen Nintendo! ;)

Maybay3865d ago

I think it's too early for another Mario Kart. Other than that, good list. They need to get the ball rolling with NX right away, and offer core experiences to get people interested.

Eternal Darkness is something I could see them doing. F-Zero, Wave Race, and Star Tropics might also be on the list. Pikmin 4 will probably be a launch title, and we might see 1080 Snow Boarding. I hope they go back to licensing sports games to delve their own (NBA Courtside, Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball), though that's more along the lines of wishful thinking.

Kalebninja3864d ago

I included Mario kart because those games tend to release 2-3 years apart. if NX launchs at the end of next year that'll be 2.5 years since MK8.

MikleDemi3865d ago

Never going to happen, but great wishlist. Honestly, if the NX launched with everything you listed, I will buy it day 1.

My predictions are actually based on reported news and common sense.

KilKarazy3865d ago

The new Zelda will be ported to the Wii U just watch. That's why they delayed it.

NX Launch =

* 3D Mario game

* Monolith Soft RPG

* Dragon Quest 11 ( or maybe after launch )

* Some old Nintendo IP brought back to greatness.

* Mario Kart NX

* Splatoon 2

* Pilot Wings NX

Kalebninja3864d ago

monolith just made one and it hasnt even launched in the west yet, another game isnt coming out so soon. Splatoon is too new as well, support for that game isnt slowing down. Why Pilot Wings? i dont see that as a system seller.

freshslicepizza3864d ago

it won't launch with all those games, sorry. nintendo will spread them out more. i can see a new mario open world game possibly mario galaxy 3, zelda getting a nx port and a collaboration effort with a third party publisher. three big titles is plenty for a launch.

Kalebninja3864d ago

I didnt say launch i said presentation. Playstation 4 showed off games at its presentation that still havent come out.

They definitely do not want to do what they did last time and release old ports as launch titles. I'd say do the ports later, but the launch has to comprised of just "new" games. Zelda Wii U needs to a definite launch title. That game will push systems.

jon_snow3865d ago

I agree completely; also this time the Console should be Region-free but possibility are slim.

PhoenixUp3865d ago

In all honesty, a nice launch lineup isn't going to make system successful. For example, Vita has a very strong launch lineup, but its hardware sales fell flat later on. It's the release schedule of the games after the launch all the way up to the next holiday season that matter the most.

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory3865d ago (Edited 3865d ago )

If predicting.

Then
Dragon Quest X
Dragon Quest XI
3D Super Mario
Spike Chunsoft game

and all the Zelda need to be a launch title BS is dumb.

MikleDemi3865d ago (Edited 3865d ago )

- Borderlands (gamefaqs.com/boards/631516-wi i-u/72123660)

- Dragon Quest (polygon.com/2015/7/28/9057139 /dragon-quest-10-11-nintendo-n x -ps4-3ds)

- Zelda U (all the delays and no comments on it)

- Some generic game to "take advantage and show off the NX hardware" (because always)

- 2D Mario game (cheap and fast to produce)

- Call of Duty game (because common sense)

- Some sports game, my money is on FIFA (common sense)

- Assassins Creed game (see above)

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle23d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
