Nielsen has conducted a poll to determine the most-anticipated games of Holiday 2015.
On Wii U, Yoshi’s Woolly World came out on top with a 91 percent score. Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival, Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, and Devil’s Third also ranked highly.
Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden is the most-anticipated 3DS game according to Nielson, followed by Zelda: Tri Force Heroes and Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon.
Nielson said of its Nintendo findings:
Though Nintendo may be short on multi-platform titles this holiday, it has a surplus of high-profile exclusives, with a total of seven highly anticipated games on Wii U or 3DS due out in the coming months. U.S. gamers are keen to jump into Yoshi’s Woolly World (91%) on Wii U after the publisher released the title in the U.K. earlier this year, and the combination of Animal Crossing and Amiibo is generating a great deal of excitement among many Wii U gamers for Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival (84%). Nintendo’s console will also see exclusive releases of Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash (80%) and a relatively rare M-rated exclusive with the new action title Devil’s Third (76%). Gamers on the 3DS are looking forward to The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes (86%) and Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon (77%), new titles that build on two of Nintendo’s biggest franchises. The 3DS will also welcome a third-party exclusive that gamers are enthusiastic for; fighting game Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden (88%) from Bandai Namco.
The Nielsen Game rank, which is what the rankings above are based on, “represents the overall anticipation level among gamers on each platform, based on a combination of several key measures (including awareness, purchase interest, consumer rating and others).” As for the percentage, this “reflects how strong the overall anticipation level is for the title, relative to the pre-release anticipation levels of all previous titles that released on the platform(s).”
All games releasing between October 1 and December 31 were eligible for the survey. Additionally, data was gathered from over 4,800 gamers age 7 to 54 between the dates of August 24 and September 19.
Chibi-Robo!: Zip Lash is arriving later this week on 3DS. Get another look at the game in video form below.
The Mewtwo amiibo can now be pre-ordered on Amazon UK. You can do so right here.
. Pre-orders from the U.S. aren’t allowed, but this may come in handy for our UK readers!
GameStop has a pre-order bonus lined up for Yo-Kai Watch. Reserve the game and you’ll receive a pin featuring Jibanyan. This offer should definitely be valid in-store, but it hasn’t been reflected on GameStop’s website listing just yet.
The Mii Fighters amiibo were just recently confirmed as a Toys “R” Us exclusive in the United States. Thankfully, supply shouldn’t be an issue. Stock numbers thus far are averaging to around 100 units, with one store in California even receiving 200 copies of the 3-pack.
