You don't think Zelda will be Nintendo's big holiday 2015 game?

In terms of scale I think this type of game would be more of an A-tier Nintendo IP in sales ... meaning Mario Kart or Smash Bros. type numbers. 

Zelda, just isn't there, I also think it's probably a 50-50 shot that Zelda ends up getting delayed. Supposedly this is going to be the biggest Zelda game ever and the first one using HD assets/engine ... that smells like a delay just waiting to happen. 

At least if it does get delayed, they still have an arguably even bigger title that can carry the holiday season. 

The 3DS also needs a big fall 2015 game, so this solves that issue too. Like Smash U/3DS you'll have Amiibo Universe (or whatever they call it) on both systems. Of course they want all Wii U and 3DS owners to start buying amiibos. 


Nintendo's made Zelda their big holiday game before, and I don't think 2015 is any different.  I also think the idea of an Amiibo game that features all the characters would just tarnish their IP and water down the gameplay elements that make their franchises so great.  Smash Bros is a fighting game so it's fine, but I don't see how they could pull off another style of cross-over game without risking turning into Disney Infinity or Skylanders.  Nintendo doesn't like to copy other people, they prefer to do their own thing and surprise people by doing the unexpected.  Take Captain Toad as an example that no one saw coming.  The fact that so many people think they should do an Amiibo Universe game probably proves that they won't do it.
