Much like Nintendo with their good games drought, so too I find this blog having yet another post drought. Mostly because I'm wrapping up my senior year of high school, but also because I've been spending every free second I have playing the masterpiece that is Halo 5: Guardians.
The recent news is that Legend of Zelda Wii U has become Legend of Zelda NX/Wii U, and will release in March of 2017... no, wait... now just 2017. This is incredibly disappointing because after the first trailer, the release date was "2015". How incredible it is that Nintendo was so far off in projecting a release date that the game will actually be a whole two years later in its release.
Also what's been bugging me lately is how we have heard absolutely nothing about the next entry in the Pikmin franchise: Pikmin 4. Miyamoto himself said last September that Pikmin 4 was "very close to completion", yet there has not been a single video of it, or even a screenshot.
What Nintendo is doing right now, I have no idea. The Big N seems to be completely out of whack with their Wii U coming to the end of its life and the NX coming just next year. Looking at the rest of 2016, Nintendo has very little planned for its gaming systems, the only big names being Kirby in Kirby: Planet Robobot, and the much-hated Metroid Prime: Federation Force, not to mentio Pokemon Sun and Moon. Although, Nintendo does have both an Animal Crossing and a Fire Emblem app coming out later this year, presumably alongside Pokemon Go. And although Nintendo's Miitomo was a big success, I still worry for the mainstream Nintendo consoles.
I suppose all we can do is wait to hear more from Nintendo, hopefully with a Nintendo Direct between now and E3. But until then, we'll just have to hope for the best from Nintendo and pray every night that maybe one day soon we can get our hands on Legend of Zelda NX.
