Before the Switch: Here's the full line-up of what's left for Wii U and 3DS

The Wii U has two first-party games on the horizon: Zelda and... Project Giant Robot?

Nintendo has unveiled the full line-up of what games it still has coming out for Wii U and 3DS.

As expected, the Wii U line-up looks grim, with only two first-party titles still slated for Europe: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Project Giant Robot. Remember Project Giant Robot? Shigeru Miyamoto announced it at E3 in 2014 along with an experimental prototype Project Guard, which was eventually turned into Star Fox: Guard.

While Zelda is slated for next year, ostensibly around the Nintendo Switch's March launch, Project Giant Robot is still without a release window or even official title. But the fact that it's still on the docket suggests it's still in development for Nintendo's geriatric hardware.

Nintendo's first-party 3DS line-up looks a little more solid with the following titles slated for release:

  • Pokémon Sun - 23/11/2016
  • Pokémon Moon - 23/11/2016

  • Ever Oasis - 2017
  • Pikmin for 3DS - 2017
