Here are my predictions for Nintendo this year.
"Not gonna happen" tier
- F-Zero U (The whole Mario Kart 8 thing either means that they are testing the waters for a new one, or are saying "Enjoy what you get, there won't be another for a while." I hope it's the former.)
- new Ice Climbers (It won't happen, but it'd be a great comeback. I think keep the platforming mechanics from the first, but expand upon it with new elements and bosses. Wouldn't it look great too?)
- Kid Icarus Uprising 2/HD (Sakurai is working on Smash currently and has said that he won't be going back to KI, but I'd love it if it were true.)
- Pokemon Snap U (This works too well with the Wii U, Miiverse, the Gamepad controls, and SD cards for saving pictures would make the game that much better.)
-A Waluigi game (wah.)
"Possible" tier
-Retro Studios new project is a 2D Metroid game. (I'd love a new DKCR with K. Rool and the Kremlings as the antagonists, but it feels too soon after Tropical Freeze for that.)
-Super Mario Sunshine 2/HD/3D (plz)
-Mother 3 released on Wii U VC. (Come on Reggie, give us Mother 3!)
-Animal Crossing U with 2 Player splitscreen, return of the island and city, a lot more options with the mayor, and campfires with friends/villagers.
-Mario Kart 8 DLC Pack 3 (Wario Coluseum, a Halberd track, a Splatoon course, and the Wuhu Island tracks are what I'd like to see as tracks. I want Star Fox, Pikmin, or Splatoon to be the new IP they bring in. K. Rool, Diddy Kong, Bowser Jr, Petey Piranha, Wiggler, Birdo, and R.O.B. are the Mario characters I'd like to see.
-New Mario Strikers game (Please bring back Petey and
Waluigi's infamous taunt!)
-Paper Mario U
-Gamecube Virtual Console on Wii U.
"Shoe ins" tier
-Star Fox will be shown off and given a name, Project Guard will be a part of it. Project Giant Robot will influence another game that we don't know about yet.
-A huge Splatoon summer news blowout, hopefully with the F.L.U.D.D. and Shadow Mario's Paintbrush as weapons and/or an Isle Delfino map. More amiibo compatibility.
-Quite a few Amiibo reveals, including the final wave of Smash Bros amiibo and a new wave of Super Mario amiibos including Wario, Rosalina, and the rest of the compatible MP10 characters. (wah ;-;)
-Ryu, Roy, and Wolf revealed for Smash Bros DLC. Some more retro stages. (I'm predicting New Pork City, Fourside, Brinstar Depths, Dreamland 64, Magicant, and Mute City (3DS).)
-Hyrule Warriors 3D (Hoy, small fry!)
Aside from Nintendo, Microsoft will have some sort of Rare reveal. I have no idea about Sony.
