Biggest project ever and very hyped game that is coming at end of life of worst selling Nintendo console ever and that is delayed for whole year same like TP!? Definitely is similar to TP situation. Nintendo intended to release Zelda U in 2015, they said that in December 2014, but they decide to delayed it in March of 2015. I think game is basically finineshed and now they just polished it and further improving it, while in same time they porting it to NX. Whole year is more than enough to port a game, they can done that for 6 months. Zelda team doesn't need to port game because that is all technical staff, another Nintendo team could port game to NX, they basically could start working on NX port right before they delayed game. You saying TP was port to Wii to show posibilites of Wii Remote, but they already had much stronger title for something like that, Wii Sports. They ported beacuse its very strong launch title and beacuse it they will have much better sales on two platforms and not just on one, (at end TP become best selling game ever) not beacuse Wii Remote. When they decided to ported they logicly included Wii controlls and little improved game over GC version, for instance 16:9 support. I also dont think Zelda U on NX will have better resolustion or frame rate, but definatly will have some sort of improvment, maybe difrent control sheme, or maybe same content that Wii U version want have...expariancies will probably be indentical, but you missing point, they will not port Zelda U to NX and make it launch title becuse improvments or difrent expariance, they doing that because it would be a killer app on brand new platform (and after fail with Wii U they need very strong launch titles, especially when they will release console in middle of PS4/X1 life) and because game itself will have much higher sales than on Wii U only. Porting game is not expensive at all, we are talking about few millions, but if they sell just 1m with price of $60 you can easily calculate how many money will NIntendo earn on Zelda U port but I really can't see that Zelda U sell less than 3m in worst case on NX if its a launch title. |
Windwaker HD was ported in 6 month, but from Gamecube to Wii U (both PowerPC). Again, i doubt NX will use PowerPC. 1 Year would be quick. Tantalus is porting twilight Princess from Gamecube/Wii to Wii U and they need 1,5 year (start late 2014, release march 2016). And Twilight Princess was even developed on similar architecture.
The delay is nothing new. Skyward Sword was shortly for release also delayed 1 full year.
But lets just chill and wait. You will see it soon enough ;) Dont be dissapointed if Zelda Wii U wont be on NX, just an advice.
