9 - 10???

Mario, Zelda, metroid, smash

And Zelda is almost done if not done. I think the release is being delayed to be a launch title

Bottom line is at $200 (if that's true) and delivering something as big as the things being rumored, they may potentially have crazy demand for it. We'll see. No one knows anything, it's all speculation and rumors

2D Mario, 3D Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Smash, Animal Crossing, Donkey Kong Country, and Splatoon. These are the titles that sell well, and what I would identify as the heavy hitters for them. I'm not counting fringe series like Pikmin, Fire Emblem, Mario Party, Yoshi, F-Zero, and Pokemon all of which should be expected to be on the new console.

I also think you're right on the Zelda delay. Delayed solely to be a NX launch title.

I do hope that Nintendo is able to put it together. Industry is better when everyone is competitive.

it will release on wii u as well, much like twilight princess


the rumors I've read from more than one place is that by heavy hitters

3d Mario
3d Zelda (done)
Metroid or DK Country
Smash

DK Country is retro studios, so they're not doing Metroid and DK with so much on the line.

I liked the 2d Mario for wii u, but they've squeezed all the pulp out of 2d Mario.

I've also read that they've secured 3rd party support from square and WB among others

basically, they're coming out swinging. I hope it's true, but the 2 potential pit falls are...

1. dev team stretched thin making quantity not quality

2. a long period of time between that time and the next round of big name releases.

again, if it really is $200...and it looks sleek, mark me down as preordering the frick out of it.

They also rebooted Star Fox.
