The Nintendo NX Release Schedule

While the Nintendo NX may be launching with Zelda, that does not guarantee success. The Nintendo NX Release Schedule needs to be stellar and consistent for long-term success.

Really hoping this system does well. IT will launch well but it needs some stellar titles year one and a killer holiday.

nottfadeaway3559d ago

it only needs to sell as well as the xbox one, which isn't fantastic TBH.

guywazeldatatt3559d ago

it's a good point, but xbox is finally getting some great exclusives and has the third-party support. if they have a killer lineup for launch with zelda and mario it may well do it, short-term.

LOL_WUT3558d ago

Aiming low already? Come on this isn't some new company just entering the gaming industry. Let's call it like it is. Nintendo better price this thing accordingly otherwise it's game over. ;)

MVGeneral3558d ago

I have been a gamer for over 20 years started off with Nintendo.
But they lost me and countless others as fans because they stopped catering to the ones that made them, (the ones that bought their systems day one, the ones that spread the word, and etc)
Their need to get and cater to the new generation exclusively only burned their old fans. And we were left in the dark. Now the fans are grown up and we have kids, nephews/nieces and etc and they grow up seeing us play and love our new systems we adopted (ps/xbox) so they also want that system and we buy games for them so now the new generation are growing up with these consoles. And (ps/Xbox) cater and grow up with their fans and treat them good and listen to them and etc. So Nintendo, you have to win me back. Your move Nintendo.

-former Nintendo due hard fans

They need to do what they do so well with their handhelds on home console. their game library, third party and all, is amazing for their handhelds.

Me too. I had a wii i couldnt get over how crappy all the games looked, so i got rid of it. I have high hopes for NX, i havent really enjoyed a nin console since game cube

guywazeldatatt3558d ago

Remember how everyone thought red steel would be so good? lol. I got it for Zelda. I want more this time. And no Mario maker nx

81BX3558d ago

Lol, zelda is the exact reason im getting nx. I hope wii u's games are compatable.

FYI Nintendo is the darkest and murkiest companies out there.
They hold the most record in patent infringement lawsuits more than any other.

They pulled the biggest corporate backstabbing in history!

Ironically Phillips finally avenged Sony and kicked Nintendo's butt.

They sue and charge their most loyal of fans for giving them free marketing.

TheSuperiorGamer3558d ago

Yeah...and look at how well that worked out for the CD-i. Protecting intellectual property is a BAD thing.

Nintendo dark and murky? You drink the opposite of cool aid.

#1 The vast majority, if not all of, the patent infringement cases sent against them during the Wii era, were won by Nintendo, because those were patent trolls trying to take a slice of the Nintendo pie.

#2 Many of the fan projects negatively affect the sales of current on-the-market games from Nintendo. They're not in the wrong for protecting their IP no matter how much you hate them for it, and Nintendo's not the only one who does it; Sony and Microsoft have tried suing people for having tattoos of copywrited characters on their bodies, and Sony even recently sent a copywrite STRIKE [not just a claim] against Player Essence over on Youtube because they, like many others, leaked the Pro early in a video.

And finally, #3, that "corporate back-stabbing"?
Nintendo backed out of the deal, because SONY snuck a clause into the contract that would have given them COMPLETE OWNERSHIP OF ALL GAMES ON THE CD-I, instead of anything for Nintendo.

Luckily for Nintendo, they backed out before they had done something stupidly irreversible with Sony; it was just stupid of Nintendo to rely on Phillips as their second choice when there were definitely better options out there.

guywithazeldatattoo3559d ago

I think they'll be fine but they need some AAA third-party games, and not old rehashes.

guywazeldatatt3559d ago

this is very true. the "third party support" when the wii u came out was so so so abysmal.

Abdou0233558d ago

I have a feeling they will make a remake of every WiiU title.

guywazeldatatt3558d ago

Horrible idea. Just do backward compatibility

wonderfulmonkeyman3557d ago

Agreed.
Much as I'd like to see Ubisoft, which has had a lot of good things to say about the NX, release Far Cry Primal on the NX so that I could re-play it without having to go to my mother's house to play their PS4 copy, I'm well aware of the fact that games like Far Cry Primal are not new enough, nor exciting enough, to move the NX in big numbers.

Nintendo needs fresh new exclusives from third parties before any other third party offerings.
The latest multiplats should follow second as an incentive to consumers, and old ports should take a firm back seat.

They could release the new Zelda on a colecovision. I'd go out and find one asap. Zelda is a system seller. Even if it were on a trashcan

guywazeldatatt3558d ago

It was smart to hold back when the Wii u was a commercial failure

kaizokuspy3558d ago

Agreed, breath of wild looks so good. I haven't played Zelda since n64, really looking forward to it now.

criticalkare3558d ago

Bring Galaxy 3 as launch titles and I will definitely buy it :P

Concertoine3558d ago

Ive been saying it for years now, Super Mario Multiverse is the logical place to go after space.

TheSuperiorGamer3558d ago

this needs to happen, as a person who loves quantum mechanics and the multiverse theory.

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.

solideagle55d 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

Relientk7755d ago

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