Nintendo has issued its latest release schedule for both Wii U and 3DS (as well as products that shipped in the last fiscal year).

I can’t say there are any massive surprises, but we do seem to have confirmation that Yarn Yoshi and Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem are still in development. Also, Hyrule Warriors is classified as first-party in North America and Europe, but third-party in Japan. Lastly, “X” is due out worldwide – North America, Europe, and Japan – this year.
