Hyrule Warriors:

Looks neat but it’s still going to be a Dynasty Warriors game, i.e. it’s going to be a lot of shoveling sand on a beach with mash-fest boss battles sprinkled in. DW games aren’t very huge for a reason.

Smash 4:

Neat that they’re paying some attention to Smash fans but it remains to be seen how viable this game is for competitions. It’s not just tripping that kept Brawl from surpassing Melee. Even when people modded that out, it didn’t help.

Wooly World:

If this is nothing but a wool theme Yoshi’s Island that doesn’t suck, I’m fine with that.

Captain Toad:

Looks fun. An interesting puzzle thing with a deliberate sense of pacing. Could be neat but it does indeed depend on the price tag.

Kirby’s whateverworld:

Eh. Kirby. Hasn’t been good since SNES.

Sexy Librarian Witch 2:

I’m not a huge fan of these kinds of games. Never cared for the DMCs or Ninja Gaidens or the rest. Closest I got was God of War, and it’s just a dumb roller coaster I had fun experiencing then forgetting about.

Final Thoughts:

If this is the best the Wii U has for the rest of 2014 then I do not expect a very successful year. Smash is the biggest draw here, and it’s just one game. It’s also not exactly their most powerful franchise. The rest are side-shows that could be great examples of their genres, but not representative of major appeal. Hyrule Warriors could do well thanks to the brand association, but it’s still just Dynasty Warriors and at the very least that isn’t fooling ME into think it’ll be something different.
