Nintendo reaffirms Star Fox, Zelda Wii U coming 2015 — Miyamoto's 'Project' games also debuting next year

Publishers like Ubisoft and Electronic Arts are dropping support for the Wii U, but Nintendo is trying to convince gamers that the system is still getting plenty of new software.

Earlier today, Nintendo of America released a list of Wii U games that are due out between now and the end of 2015. The publisher is also confirming that the starship shooter Star Fox and action-adventure game Zelda Wii U will debut next year. Both titles were in early stages of development when the company debuted them at the Electronic Entertainment Expo tradeshow in June, but Nintendo claims it will have them ready for fans before New Year’s Day 2016. In addition to Star Fox and Zelda, Nintendo is also claiming that Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto’s Project Guard and Project Giant Robot will also release for Wii U in 2015. With fewer and fewer third-party companies producing games for the home console, Nintendo realizes that it needs to step up and deliver the experiences that customers want. The company has also consistently failed to reach profitability over its last few quarters, and it’ll need most of these titles to make their tentative release to generate plenty of revenue through next year.
