Our North American-based staff and readers are so jealous of the territories where Woolly World has been out since early summer. We want to see Good Feel’s take on the great gameplay of Yoshi’s Island, we want to hear that music for ourselves, and we want to make Mega Man, Ness, or Inkling Yoshis. Though, I’m sure a few people cast their votes just for the Yarn Yoshi Amiibo because those things are so cuddly - yes, even the foot-tall one!

While Star Fox Zero might be put in the spot of Nintendo's biggest release of the holidays, it's standing on our Hype List puts in pretty far behind fellow 2015 releases Super Mario Maker and Xenoblade Chronicles X. Still, the staff and our community are anticipating Platinum Games' long-anticipated chance to make a Star Fox game. There are definitely some reservations, but that doesn't make the hype that much less. In about two months, we're all going to be playing a brand-spanking new Star Fox game on a home console. That's the first time we're able to say that in a decade. So hop in your Arwing and get ready to fend off Andross' forces.

The biggest single game on our list, Xenoblade Chronicles X, is thrilling Japan with its amazing mech combat and promise of hundreds of hours of gameplay. The story has been praised enough, but add in a localization from the dream team of 8-4 and the Treehouse and you’ll see an absolutely amazing script. 2015 is definitely going to go out with a bang.

2. The Legend of Zelda for Wii U
Hype Level: 55.41%
If it weren't for the delay to 2016, The Legend of Zelda for Wii U would likely dominate this list. Still, second place ain't so bad, especially with how slim of a margin there is between this and Super Mario Maker. Zelda on Wii U still has much mystery behind it, which likely adds to the hype. We know it'll be in HD. We know it'll have a big open world. And that's kind of it. Starting as soon as the end of the year, we'll hear more and more about the next entry in the Zelda series. Hopefully, when it comes out on the Wii U (or maybe the NX?), this new Zelda game will live up the hype universally.

Just in time for the Super Mario Bros. 30th Anniversary is Super Mario Maker, the game that has been voted as the most hyped title coming to Nintendo platforms here on NWR. This time Nintendo puts Mario level creation in the hands of the players and allows fans to share these stages online. The Mario fun may never end, so it’s no surprise that this title tops our charts.
