Nintendo: Best publisher of 2013

Well as many of you know, Nintendo exploded this morning with its Nintendo Direct. They hinted at and showed off a few new games in addition to the strong lineup they already had planned for the year. So because it's system wars, my question is, what publisher can possibly compete with the following in 2013?

Wii U

-Pikmin 3

-The Wonderful 101

-Yoshi

-Lego City Undercover

-The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker

-Bayonetta 2

-potentially the next 3D Mario (to be playable this E3)

-potentially the next Mario Kart (to be playable this E3)

-potentially X (the open world JRPG Monolith showed gameplay of this morning)

3DS

-Fire Emblem Awakening

-Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon

-Pokemon X/Y

-Animal Crossin New Leaf

-Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate

Let me know if I overlooked anything

Take 2 - GTA V is better than all thatRR360DD

The only game on this list im intested in would be pokemon Y and X and the rest are meh, so to answer ur question lol no not even close but if they are to you then good for you.

Jumping on hypetrain already? :oops:

Bayonetta 2 and new RPG from Monolith Soft aren't coming out this year

Wondering how all this games will affect Wii U's sells... I can see them giving the console a good boost. Even I was hooked and am planning to buy one! Think this gen some old Nintendo fans that skiped the Wii era will jump back to the platform.

there's some good stuff in there.

LOL at the OP

Seen as a publisher or developer, Nintendo has always been unmatched.

They have quantity and 1-2 god-tier game:every year.

But most people choose to look at Nintendo in terms of "Wii" vs "PS3" that's why they are seen as a joke.

This pretty much.

Not to mention how Bioshock Infinite and GTA5 are both more exciting.

Just wait for the score, I doubt any of them score AAA when there's games such as Bioshock Infinite, GTA V, and The Last of Us that'll be release this year too

3D Mario has two entries sitting on 97% metacritic.

2007

2010

and the new one coming out 2013.

They also churned out 3D Land in 2011 sitting on 90% with the best use of stereo 3D ever.

Nintendo has to publish the 3rd party games or companies won't want to develop for WiiU :3

Pikmin 1 -- 89% metascore

Pikmin 2 -- 90%

Pikmin 3 -- ??

---

Kirby's Epic Yarn -- 86% meta (Yoshi's Epic Yarn is coming out this year, same team)

---

Bayonetta 1 has 90% metascore. Xenoblade has 92% metascore.

These two games are getting sequels / spiritual sequels on Wii U.

---

It just feels weird to me that somehow these games are perceived as a tier below GTA/Bioshock. I'm more excited for Pikmin 3 than GTA V :/

A little too early for that, settle down. Ghost120x

Considering the only games on the list that are confirmed for 2013 and that I'm interested in are Pokemon X/Y, Fire Emblem: Awakening, and Wind Waker HD, absolutely notXaero_Gravity

You mean they must fund games like Bayonetta 2 because Sega cancelled the project.

Oops, didn't realize they will release 3D Mario this year too, although I doubt that

But judging for confirmed games:

-Pikmin 3

-The Wonderful 101

-Yoshi

-Lego City Undercover

-The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker

-Bayonetta 2

-Fire Emblem Awakening

-Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon

-Pokemon X/Y

-Animal Crossin New Leaf

-Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate

I seriously doubt any of these will score AAA here, perhaps Bayonetta 2 has the biggest chance, although I think X game by Monolith almoust guarantee score AAA here judging by how GS really love Xenoblade

You're right, none of them will get AAA, but some have a good chance at AAAE

Too early to call

yes $59.99 ports and rehashes that doesn't even look better than launch games on the xbox 360. Nintendo fanboys will desperately cling to anything, now more than ever since Wii-U is failing badly and is receiving less 3rd party support than even the gamecube. Let's not mention how Nintendo is nickel-and-diming their fanboys by not only charging them for virtual console games they already bought on the Wii, but now on demos as well. It's despicablethat Nintendo fanboys are defending this shameless move.

With an 8.9 and a 9.2 under its belt, the Pikmin series has a good chance too

All I see is garbage games.themajormayor

That's because you've got garbage in your eyes silly :P

Stupidly excited for Monolith's new game.

Certainly could be, assuming it won't be localized immediately. I expect a mid-late 2014 release for Japan, followed by a NoA acting like complete twits.

Xenoblade was released in 2010.

I can see a 2013 release in Japan, and 2014 for other regions.

Those 2 things don't contradict one another, it's a great move by them to scoop up easy target with high potential.
