Thanks, Simply G
Firstly MK8 in second? thats good to know..
The more they advertise the higher it’ll rise.
What’s weird is… that the article says MK8 is out
May 29th (for Japan)
I thought it was out on the 30th…Unless they get it a day earlier. :l
How many years have passed since The Last Guardian announcement? 7? I hope we can see that game this generation. I also want to see more about Hyrule Warriors. Please Nintendo don’t make Tecmo fuck this franchise.
Since 2009, its been in development since 2007 though. I honestly just want SONY to come out and tell us its been cancelled. the wait has been too long and at this point the expectation is way to high.
No X? Bayoneta 2, watchdogs for Wii U,
My heart is breaking for the fact that X isnt there, its a sad thing that shit developer like squareenix gets that much attention there *sigh*
i bought a wii u get final fantasy xv. i can careless for nintendo rehashes.
Wii I’ll
Riiiiiiiiight, like the others don’t have rehashes themselves.
Final Fantasy? isnt that like throwin money away? Get X instead.
The ironic nature of this comment tickles me with laughter
Ok, so I am noticing something here with smash bros, people have been saying that the 3DS version will sell more, but this chart shows that there is more demand for the wii u version. Now this could be 1 of 2 things. One, people really do want the wii u version more, and two, people demand other games more so they voted on other games, but they prefer the 3DS version. Personally, i am hoping it is the first one, because the wii u really needs the help.
its just Famitsu dude, this magazine’s audience doesnt speak for everyone out there.
too bad 91 games are not wii u. this is a failure. now were in a drought of no games. you nintendrones
How is you bitching at us going to help that? Not like other consoles havs droughs right? Face it. The wiiu is the only console with alot of exclucives. A majority of exclusives are coming out for pc this gen, so deal with it. If it bugs you so much, get a fucking steam box. Whatever you say, a majority of us just prefer nintendo. And its gonna stay that way whether you call us nintendrones or not.
those exculsives are overpriced , rehashed, no online and mostly kiddy. no one really cares for nintendo games anymore but only the Nintendo fanboys.
Fanboy, go play your $60 Knack and stop spamming a Nintendo site with multiple accounts.
Overpriced? Rehashed? No Online? Mostly Kiddy?
Like the Gimmick 360 and the Gimmick One?
LOL
No one cares about Nintendo games!?
LMFAO!
No one cares about you!
You Xbots love to make yourselves cry and get butthurt!
lolololololol
I like this guy
Sasori, learn to write, goddamn noob. And don’t u have anything else to do than to stalk for possibly positive wii u news here and come and troll the crap out of it?
With that incredibly pathetic skill of expressing yourself with wall of words shot there with a shotgun of bullcrap.
Retard.
Wii U rocks btw. Best bang for the buck atm.
wii u is just a 300 dallor scam to be honest
What’s a dallor?
Then I guess we got the better deal of the scam…because the ps4 and xbox one are 600 scams. Just saying…
No, what’s a scam is that you paid nothing for your brain, and you never use it.
i’ve been waiting for FFXV since 2006 -_-
also nice to see watchdogs on the list

Pay Attention trolls…this alone will destroy you and I don’t need to do a thing. Laterz and enjoy you’re crying. :)
I’m looking forward to Persona 5 more than anything. And I didn’t know a new Samurai Warriors was coming out. Cool.
All I see is some Nintendo games drowning in the middle of Playstation titles.
Smash Bros. (Wii U) is in 19th? Damn!
Okay, some points of this chart looks weird as fuck: Kingdom Hearts III below MGSV? Don’t get me wrong, I love Metal Gear, but I always thought japanese loved kingdom hearts more?
Also, Smash Bros below Hyrule Warriors? dafuq!?
That’s because MGSV looks awesome, while KH3 looks like an extremely updated KH2. I personally don’t see it that way, but I’m sure a lot of others do.
If anything about that list is suspicious, it is that FFXV is the most wanted game in Japan.
The dynasty warriors games are really popular in Japan.
Go go Persona 5 !
