![]() ![]() It's been delayed a few times and was a commercial flop in Japan, yet we had fun with it when we got to play it earlier in the year. Rodea The Sky Soldier - 10th November (NA) & 13th November (EU)Īfter a long time waiting this Yuji Naka title - or at least it was in its original guise - is finally on the way. It'll be interesting to see whether lightning strikes a second time for peripheral-based music games, with this new entry adopting a new play style, a new guitar and a quirky 'live' audience approach. There aren't a huge number of third-party games coming to Wii U in the remainder of this year, yet this revival of the last-gen phenomenon is on the way. Guitar Hero Live - 20th November (NA) & 30rd November (EU) Regardless of whether it's the Animal Crossing game we wanted it's the one we have, and a combination of brand power and amiibo make it a potential success for the Wii U in the Holiday season. A board game approach to the franchise utilising a new figure range, with mini-games triggered by amiibo cards, it's certainly a new direction as a spin-off. ![]() ![]() Put the pitchforks away, we know this isn't a universally popular inclusion in fact we're not particularly convinced by its charms as yet.

Sometimes it's enough for a game franchise to simply keep up its standard formula, and this probably qualifies in that category. Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash - 20th November (NA & EU) You can check out our first impressions of the final build for more detail. Picking up on the general approach of series predecessors, this one will also provide some neat usage of the GamePad as the camera, providing some promising motion controls to immerse us in the experience. This made a late appearance in the Treehouse broadcasts in LA, and is a welcome dose of suspense and horror on the Wii U.

Monolith Soft is once again at the helm, and this adventure brings enormous alien world to explore and Skells (mechs known as Dolls in Japan) that'll make this writer squee once they're available to fly. Predecessor Xenoblade Chronicles had a torturous route to the West, but Nintendo has been quicker in preparing this one, no doubt feverishly working on localisation right up to the Holiday release. Xenoblade Chronicles X - 4th December (NA & EU) Below are ten games that we think are worth strong consideration as we head towards the Holidays and the end of 2015. A number of Nindie games, too, are in the list as we hope they will make it out in 2015, while the exciting Freedom Planet misses out as it's just arrived in North America.ĭespite Star Fox Zero being the latest title to get pushed back for some extra polish, there are still some terrific games of various kinds coming to the Wii U certainly enough to keep us interested. By this token Devil's Third also misses out as it's already out in Japan and Europe we don't think it's any better than average, in any case. We're also excluding Yoshi's Woolly World this time even though it lands in North America later this month it's been in Europe for quite some time and we love it, but we just want to direct attention towards games that will be new for players everywhere. Some delays haven't helped since our Summer list, in addition to a number of titles landing in stores already. Remember, this list is for games that haven't yet been released at the time of writing. We're kicking off with the Wii U for this quarter and, although we gave retail and eShop games separate lists earlier in the year, the limited remaining slate for 2015 has prompted us to combine them together for one final hurrah. ![]() Every few months of each year we do lists of what we consider to be ten of the biggest games on each system that are on the way. ![]()
