How many characters do you think the next Hyrule Warriors will have? I'm guessing 40 total.

If we go from November 22 - Mar. 17, that's 4 more months. Yeah, the NX getting pushed back sucks when you look at the current schedule leading up to November. Yet, 4 months isn't too long an extra wait time. If there were more Wii U games from Nintendo, like even a total of 8 or so spaced out over that time, it might have made this delay more bearable. As it stands, August 22 will put us back on track from where we before this delay announcement. And if they do announce 2 more Wii U games, we'll be back to where we stated for game releases.

I have enough backlogged stuff that I still have stuff to play and I play less games in the summer months anyway so on a personal level it doesn't really affect me.  Four months in a vacuum doesn't seem like much but in this case it's going through Christmas.  Nintendo is effectively "skipping" a Christmas on the console front which doesn't seem like something I would set out to do unless there was no other option.  I was already concerned about Nintendo's lack of visibility as the Wii U limps to the finish line so the longer the wait the more damage to their brand and thus the deeper pit the NX has to dig itself out of.  It just doesn't look good to have this floundering console in stores with hardly any games coming out.  I don't see people seeing Nintendo's weak Christmas offering this year and then thinking "yeah those Nintendo guys are who I want to support!" in March.  I feel last Christmas was damaging enough and this will be worse.

And with little to offer Wii U owners this Christmas what is to keep them from switching to a competing console?  Nintendo isn't going to sell an NX to someone who bought a PS4 on Black Friday or who got one for Christmas.  They'll have to make a big splash with the NX debut and market it really well to convince people to wait for it.  And if Sony and MS release their iterative console updates this year and those sell well, then those customers are also lost.  The NX could have a bit of a power boost that entices people to upgrade but that doesn't work if Sony and MS beat them to the punch by four months.

For those interested, @ZhugeEX tweeted from the Koei-Tecmo financials that Koei-Tecmo is developing games for the Nintendo NX. So, rest assured we will be able to play the latest Dynasty Warriors port on Nintendo's next console.

Maybe we'll get a sequel to Hyrule Warriors or, even better, we could get Fire Emblem Warriors since FE is now considered a "top tier IP" for Nintendo. They have the case that you wouldn't need a generic army, they could all be named hero units.

Fire Emblem Warriors just seems like a no-brainer idea.  Then a few years later they make Hyrule x Fire Emblem Warriors and crossover the two franchises!

Nintendo won't be skipping Christmas. They've got Pokemon Sun and Moon. They'll just be skipping anything for the Wii U at Christmas.
They'll probably do some bundles or whatnot. Smash all-inclusive version and/or MarioKart. Blah Blah

So has Sakamoto proven himself competent at all in the past five years? Because I couldn't be less excited about a new IP from him.

Maybe we'll get Nintendo Warriors for Tecmo-Koei! Wonder when square will reannounce DQXI and FFXV and FFVII for NX? I sure could use a new Chrono Trigger, and Damnit Capcom, get off your asses and make another Breath of Fire game, hell Remake BoF II!!

Good on Retro getting the opportunity to tackle something new. As much as I enjoyed their Metroid and Donkey Kong games, I'm more keen on them getting a new world and cast to show.

Sakamoto's got nothing to do with Retro. Even when they were making Metroid games he basically wasn't involved at all.

Would FF XV even come to NX? By March that game will be 5-6 months old.

General Producer on Rhythm Heaven Fever says yes to that question.

How is that confirming a rumor? He's basically say "eh, maybe it's true. Who knows?"

Retro after like 15 years finally getting a chance to make their own thing would be great!

Though the timing is kind of awkward since there's somewhat of a need for a new Metroid.  So who's working on Metroid if not Retro?  Is anyone working on Metroid besides Federation Force?

Retro has been ramping up staff, so the majority can work on the new IP while the stragglers try not to f**k up Metroid after Next Level saves it.

Is there really a "need" for Metroid? The series doesn't sell. Sure, it's nice for all 37 fans, but I'd hardly call it a need. There are other priorities. Metroid is a game Nintendo should release when it already has a stellar lineup.
