Talk:Nintendo (Ohga Shrugs)

2013 Lineup
I'm planning on making the 2013 lineup comparable to real life, but with some notable differences. By Platform and rough chronological order:

Wii U

 * Killer Instinct 3 - March
 * Revolution Fitness Sequel - May
 * Game & Wario - June
 * Pikmin 3 - July
 * Yarn Yoshi - October
 * Super Mario Universe - November
 * Retro's Next Game - December

Notable games that will NOT show up include Mario Kart 8/U (since Mario Kart 3D is a 2012 release), The Legend of Zelda HD (too soon in real life also), Wind Waker HD (less resources in this timeline thanks to a lack of Grezzo and less necessity for an immediate hit thanks to stronger momentum)

This would be comparable in output to our timeline, while being reasonably within this Nintendo's resources and interests. Note that they are including mass market casual games like Revolution Fitness and Game & Wario, general audience games like Super Mario Universe and Yarn Yoshi, and more niche games like Killer Instinct 3 and Pikmin 3''

3DS

 * Fire Emblem: Awakening - February
 * Brain Age 3 - March
 * Mario & Luigi 4 - July
 * Kirby - September
 * Pokemon X/Y - October
 * Zelda 3D - November

This is a light schedule, but seriously consider it! Games like Animal Crossing and Brain Age would already have been released in Japan, and would just be awaiting localization at worst in 2013. 2D Mario and Mario Kart are accounted for, and the 3D Mario team is busy on the Stream in this timeline, making a 3D Land type game unlikely. WarioWare is already coming to the Stream this year and Retro and Rare are console developers. All in all, this version of Nintendo simply isn't going to be able to release much more than a dozen games a year.

Any thoughts?--Salnax (talk) 20:06, March 27, 2013 (UTC)
