Miyamoto-Designed Project Giant Robot Could Release By June

Project Giant Robot, a title that was revealed at E3 2014 as one of two quirky Wii U games designed by Shigeru Miyamoto, is expected for release in the US and Europe during the "first half of 2015," according to an earnings release document from Nintendo.

The company has not yet provided a specific release date for the title and, in fact, has barely discussed it since the weeks following its initial reveal period. However, if the document is correct, this would mean the game should be released by the end of June.

Nintendo has said it will not reveal any new information or show NX, its next gaming console, at E3 2015. This seemingly places the spotlight entirely on Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, perhaps suggesting the game will resurface around E3.

Project Giant Robot was unveiled alongside Project Guard at E3 2014. At the same time, Miyamoto confirmed he was working on a new Star Fox for Wii U.

In September, Nintendo said its Star Fox Wii U game is on track to launch in 2015, along with Splatoon, which has a specific release date of May 29, and Yoshi's Woolly World, which is expected on June 23 in Europe and some months later in the US.

Nintendo also said Project Guard, Xenoblade Chronicles X, and The Legend of Zelda: Wii U will also be available in 2015. It is unclear if the former two titles are still expected this year, but The Legend of Zelda for Wii U was recently listed as "TBD" instead of 2015 in an earnings report.
