If Smash is 2015, what is Nintendo's big game for the holiday?

They could be gearing up for a secret Zelda launch, though Hyrule Warriors kind of discounts that.

They seriously had better not be dumb enough to think they can make it through this holiday with B-list titles, or have another "Animal Crossing and Wii Music" holiday like 2008.

Hyrule Warriors exists to squeeze money out of Zelda fans.

Still think they're going to work some kind of cross-selling thing where if you buy Hyrule Warriors, you get a discount on a pre-order on Zelda U.

You know... there are people that enjoy the warriors games, and there are people who enjoy zelda. It isnt crazy that these can overlap. It doesnt have to be extortion.

Yeah I didn't mean to make it sound extortionist. But you do gotta figure Hyrule Warriors takes much less creative energy and money to make though. Nonetheless, it's a kind of mid-tier game that we'll all love cause dammit... it's Zelda.

I definitely think the overlap exists. The Hyrule Warriors-buying crowd will catalyze the Zelda U sales.

Got a good feeling Hyrule Warriors will exceed many people's expectations. Not only will it be an engaging and fun Warriors game because it borrows from Zelda's weapons and puzzles, but will surprise people with some kind of story that sticks to Zelda canon.
