This is Nintendo's first open world game, I'd imagine they wouldn't want to skimp on the quality of it. I'll wait... I guess.

This is turning out to be another FFXV.
Im actually glad its not gonna release on launch date cause I wanna check how the console performs first.

So in other words, they don't don't want to become Bethesda.

Still baffled by localisation delaying the games testing. For many Japanese games localisation is done after the vast majority of testing, equally localisation is not done by the same people doing the tester. In short why can't Nintendo Localise and Test simultaneously?

I don't believe it.

Unfortunately a lack of Zelda will probably prevent Switch from being a day one purchase for me.

So it won't be a launch title for the Switch? I wonder what will take it's place. I can't think of a better launch title than a Zelda game, but if the game requires more work, so be it.

Mario as reported in the article. The OP should probably bolden that and put more emphasis on it. 

This game is basically like Zelda GTA. These types of games take a long time, and (should) take a lot of testing. I'm not bothered at all, since I don't plan to get Switch at launch. Christmas would be perfect for me. The game will be epic whenever it comes.

That's why this rumour is bullshit.
