Tilmen Says Action Game From A Known Franchise Coming To Wii U eShop

Tilmen from Nintendomination has posted on Twitter that an action based title from a known franchise will be dropping on Wii U in the near future. Tilmen wouldn’t give any hints regarding who the developer is, or when it’s coming out. Speculate away.

Thanks, Retrogaminglord

        1. As Iwata lays dying in his death bed with his beloved family and loyal and trusted colleagues all around him,, Iwata looks into their eyes with a hint of fear as he watches his wife of 38 years pull the plug on him. She kisses him on the cheek and gently whispers in his ear.. “Please Understand”………

          1. So… Is this going to be a thing now? Copy/pasting to every comment section. First few times were humorous, now its getting stale…

      1. please nooooo!!!!
        this game was awefull.
        so boring. the story was 08/15 and always to the same thing over and over. only the shooting part was fun.
        if a game comes from nintendo… and only to the e shop, its a crap game.
        balloon fight hd, or paperboy…

  1. Barbie DreamHouse: The Adventure Begins.

    Jk. This guy is pretty credible, so I’m pretty sure it’s something good.

  2. An “action game” from a known developer? That could be anything. I think it’s just something to get wii u owners hopes up so they don’t go out and buy a ps4 or xb1. If it is true i hope it’s something good like battlefield or elder scrolls, but i’m not going to expect more than a basic fps.

    1. A known franchise, not a known developer. It also says “Nintendo action game” which leads me to believe its coming from Nintendo themselves, from one of their lesser used IPs.

      But it’s not really clear.

      If it is third party, I’d like the new Strider to make its way to Wii U.

      1. Strider would be great but I wouldn’t say it’s “known”. I’m going to bet that it has to do with Square Enix but that’s just wishful thinking.

        1. I think Strider is known. But it’s certainly not ‘big’. If Strider wasn’t known, it wouldn’t have seen a new instalment.

          There was a rumour a while ago about another game from Square Enix wasn’t there? It was another enhanced port (Deus Ex style) if I remember correctly?

    2. Why buy a shitty graphics console when I can build my own pc that has graphics the ps5 and next box will never achieve

  3. I’d say 2D Metroid, but that’s a pretty huge franchise, so maybe not.

    Lesser known Nintendo franchises:

    1080
    Wave Race
    Punch Out
    Battalion Wars
    Excite
    Pilotwings
    Kid Icarus (could be the 3DS game getting a Wii U version as was rumoured ages ago?)

    Anything else?

        1. Its Bayonetta 1 remade in glorious 1080p at a rock solid 60fps with added content! Trust me it will be awesome,. Bayoneta is by far the best action adventure game i have played, the sublime combat is The best! and once experienced no other action combo based game can match it! it makes sense it if the game is bayonetta 1 to get fans hyped up for the sequel and up to speed!

          PLEASE LORD LET IT BE BAYONETTA 1! even though i own it on PS3, a remade version with better performance etc i would so buy.

          1. 3ds would be perfect for it since it needs a huge install base to make it popular! then a sequal on wii u in 2 years.

      1. STARTROPICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The most underrated Nintendo franchise along side Custom Robo.

      1. they should. and re-relasong B1 for eshop would be brilalint.

        then, when B2 comes out for people who preorder It give B1 half price code.

        they did similar to KId Icarus uprisng where people got the VC game for free(this is free since its very very old)

  4. Pingback: Rumor: Unannounced action game coming to Wii u.

  5. (sigh) it’s probably something stupid or so niche that only 10 people want to play it. It’s sad that video games that people actually WANT to play don’t come to the Wii U.

  6. Star Tropics, Batallion Wars, Sin & Punishment, Earthbound, 3D open world Donkey Kong, Metroid Prime 4, 2.5D 3rd person Metroid.

  7. Hmm, if by ‘known’ he means “didn’t sell a ton, but is recognized by gamers”, then my guess is it’s Bayonetta 1, a new sin and punishment (eshop only), a wii u version of okami (I mean, capcom has ported this to other consoles already and they can’t afford to make big games since they’re nearly bankrupt), or an HD remake for a GameCube game like eternal darkness (Nintendo needs to do something with the trademark, or else they lose it). It’s most likely a port of Bayonetta though since it fits the description perfectly

  8. Where are people getting the “Known developer” line from? It says Known Franchise… not big, but known. My vote is Bayonetta 1, since 2 will be releasing this summer and fans wanted the first part on the eShop.
