RUMOR!!! A Nintendo Action Game is in development for #WiiU.
– not a big but Known franchise
– maybe eShop only
– reveal & release soon— Tilmen Mesut Kuçin 🍷 (@TiLMEN) March 15, 2014
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

I really want Fatal Frame 5 for Wii u or even an HD remake for 2 and 4 …
Maybe Disaster: Day of Crisis ?
I would definitely play that!
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”………
So… Is this going to be a thing now? Copy/pasting to every comment section. First few times were humorous, now its getting stale…
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…
me too :-)
or… eternal darkness ;/)
Star Fox
Sin & Punishment
Barbie DreamHouse: The Adventure Begins.
Jk. This guy is pretty credible, so I’m pretty sure it’s something good.
That’s cool. I feel like the Wii U is saturated with platformers lately, so any action space is good space.
Agreed. There are a lot of platformers
I wonder how soon.
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.
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.
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.
Never mind. I didn’t realize it was “Nintendo” action game. Now I have no clue.
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?
That is correct. I think it was going to be a StraightRight game.
I hope its not an indie game. No one will take notice then.
Why buy a shitty graphics console when I can build my own pc that has graphics the ps5 and next box will never achieve
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?
The Conduit.
I looked it up and it’s not a Nintendo franchise. Ignore that.
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.
i hope its hitman absolution or halo
Wow, Battalion Wars! Didn’t remember that one! I’d be really happy with Kid Icarus too.
StarTropics and Ice Climbers
ICE CLIMBERS YEEEEEESSSS I ALWAYS WANTED A REBOOT! OH PLEASE NINTY PLS!
I hope that’s true…
It needs a revival like now…
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.
STARTROPICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The most underrated Nintendo franchise along side Custom Robo.
My money’s on Battalion Wars, great series too. Loved the GBA entries as well.
Custom robo?
I would buy that instantly.
A download only Wave Race on Wii U could be really cool, especially if it has online. I’d get that.
Guys, maybe its the first Bayonetta.
gta v or la noire.
Because those are not big game
Maybe just me but I think it’s Contra series !
Hello there Sir. Elton John. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vLlpJc9mW0
Have a nice day, Glygas
Hope to see: Battalion Wars or Contra
Advance Wars
Star Fox? A guy can dream, right?
Starfox is widely known in the gaming universe so no…
I think Star Fox would be released at retail and not just download only, no?
cant wait!!!!
Sin & Punishment maybe?
Nobody thought of Bayonetta 1 ? Nintendo owns the franchise now, sort of
They actually don’t.
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)
…Captain Rainbow! 8D He bought Little Mac back to his glory. He deserved it!
Pingback: Rumor: Unannounced action game coming to Wii u.
(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.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it were another one of those Pokemon Rumble games…
Geist 2… AWW YEAH!
Bayonetta to come out a few months before Bayonetta 2?
I thinks it’s a new Contra… or a Contra collection.
Power stone!
This!!!!!!
Star Tropics, Batallion Wars, Sin & Punishment, Earthbound, 3D open world Donkey Kong, Metroid Prime 4, 2.5D 3rd person Metroid.
Action brawler Supa Koopa Kids.
i personally hope it’s the first bayonetta. either that or okami would be nice with gamepad support.
Bayonetta?
a follow up for Geist? anyone?
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
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.
Captain Falcon: The Winter Racer
Instant buy…
Ninja Gaiden 1 Razor Edge WiiU Edition with added new stuff plus online trials!
Battalion Wars, please! Would be perfect with online for the Wii U.
