Iwata says more Wii U games to announce for 2015, focus on utilizattion of GamePad features

Even though there are more to announce, this slide contains many titles which fully utilize the GamePad. In addition to Mr. Miyamoto’s GamePad Utilization Project, UGC (User-Generated Content), where players can enjoy other players’ creations, is possible in titles such as "Mario Maker" (temp.). Gameplay that utilizes the GamePad possesses a large amount of potential, and it can further expand the way parents and children have fun together.

I think some games that will be announced are Paper Mario, Metroid, SNES Remix, Animal Crossing and some kind of Mario spinoff.

I don't know, I feel like Metroid would make use of the Wii U Gamepad in some interesting ways, and Iwata did say that the games already announced make best use of the Gamepad out of the titles releasing this year.

I think Paper Mario and some other random game will release. It's kind of hard to tell with Nintendo. I do think Metroid and Animal Crossing will at least be announced, but will release next year though.

Notice how there isn't Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem?

That's making think (and hope) Intelligent Systems is working on Paper Mario.

Looks to me like we're getting Dragon Quest X releasing to the Wii U: sweet! I'm hoping for an Animal Crossing game to be announced in development for the Wii U & of course a Paper Mario game too; but I doubt we'll see another Metroid game this gen thou.

@Luma
They also didn't list Devil's Third, which is obviously still in development, and is almost finished, it's not every game. Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem better still be in development...Paper Mario would be nice, but I'd rather wait awhile than not get SMT x FE.

@Queen
Here's hoping. And yeah, they announced Dragon Quest X for Japan a couple months ago, I guess we'll have to wait and see if it ever comes outside of Japan.

I (like queen) sure hope there's a western release. The Dragon Quest series is pretty popular; so I'm sure we'll get it sooner or later. If not I'd be mildly surprised.
