Now these next three games don’t have release dates yet, but we have seen enough to feel pretty confident that they will be out this year.
Mario Maker (TBD 2015, Wii U)
We’ve done it everyone. We have the means and the technology to finally create our own Mario levels! Ok.. so maybe we’ve been doing this for years BUT it’s the first time that Nintendo is letting us do it officially! When Mario Marker arrives this year we’ll be able to make our own Super Mario Bros. courses using (confirmed so far) either Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World and/or New Super Mario Bros. U skins. Awesome. Better yet you’ll be able to share them online. The future is here everyone!
Yoshi’s Wooly World (TBD 2015, Wii U)
Yoshi’s Wooly World feels more like a sequel to Kirby’s Epic Yarn more than anything else. Maybe that’s because it’s from the same developer, Good-Feel. Expect similar gameplay but instead of getting that dash of Kirby, you’ll be getting a sprinkling of Yoshi elements instead. Yoshi games are quite similar to the Kirby games in that you’ll rarely ever be challenged and they might not last very long, but very rarely are they bad games. Perfect difficulty for younger gamers but still fun for longtime hardcore Nintendo fans. Let’s see if Good-Feel gives older Nintendo fans a little something more this time around with Yoshi’s Wooly World.
Xenoblade Chronicles X and Xenoblade Chronicles 3D (TBD 2015, 3DS + Wii U)
We’re getting a pair of Xenoblade games this year and both will definitely quality Nintendo exclusives worth keeping an eye on. Neither have release dates but we’re pretty sure Xenoblade Chronicles 3D (the remake of the 2010 Wii game) will make it considering it’s the first game to be exclusive to the New NEW Nintendo 3DS. Xenoblade Chronicles X on the other hand will be on the Wii U and will be spiritual successor of sorts of Xenoblade Chronicles (and I guess the 3D version too). Details are still scarce, but expect some new info this week on Feb. 6 when a new Xenoblade themed Nintendo Direct drops.
