Mike Gwilliam of Forget the Box, who in the past has shared not-yet-confirmed-but-still-plausible rumors, has a new round of possibilities for us to sink our teeth into, the first of which begin with E3.
Supposedly, Nintendo already knows the titles they plan to show for the system at E3. They have ten or eleven of their own titles they want to display, with the rest of the titles being from third-parties. A total of seventy titles are in development and Nintendo wants to publish four of their games before year’s end. It remains a rumour, though, so don’t re-align your expectations entirely.
“Nintendo is considering keeping the price of the Wii U lower than they want to,” according to the source, but the losses they’ll sustain will be softened because of the volume of titles for the 3DS and Wii U they’ll release during the holiday season. And with the mistake of pricing the 3DS too high, this feels perfectly plausible.
There are also apparently “at least three new franchises in development” by various Nintendo-owned studios, which is happening because they have “always been under criticism for recycling their existing franchises over and over again, and it seems that Nintendo may have taken some of that criticism to heart”. And if that’s the case, then that’s amazing. We have to wait until E3 before we know for sure though.
