Well, past rumors say that you're dead wrong: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/zelda-for-wii-u-in-2014-report/1100-6394633/ To be fair though, those statements were made before WiiU's sales were as disappointing as they are at this juncture, but I highly doubt that any progress made on such an ambitious project would be scrapped mid-cycle in favor of going cheaper. My guess would be Zelda U pulling a "Twilight Princess" with Nintendo's next console. |
Gamecube and wii were basically the same console except one was run 50% faster and had 64MB of DDR memory added so Twilight Princess was basically the same game on both consoles except the controller. I personally prefered the gamecube version.
I hope Nintendo would have learnt it's lesson with wii u and come up with a competitive console in performance terms for its next console. Another weak console only capable of providing an outlet for NIntendo and first party games would probably mean an end to Nintendo's home console division. Their next console needs to be designed around the best performing components they can source to make a powerful console at a reasonable price. For backwards compatibility use built in software emulation.
The Zelda U E3 demo was not using wii u hardware and I've never seen anything on my wii u that comes close to indicating that level of power. I sincerely doubt we will ever see a Zelda U that matches that demo. If NIntendo did come out with a 2D Zelda U I think that would be one of the nails in the coffin of the wii u however good it is.
