Sorry. But no. Just because they say "new console in development", doesn't mean they're abandoning Wii U, nor that the new system will be out in 2016. I'm fairly confident it will NOT be. This new mobile nonsense thing, is clearly announced as something that can be accessed from smartphones, tablets, PC, AND Wii U, AND 3DS. They aren't planning on ditching either any time soon. Trust that.

IF there is a new "Fusion" console, that, as I've said in other threads, takes the Wii U/GamePad concept and evolves it to combine a real home system with a controller that can also be taken on the go as a fully portable system, it won't come out until 2017. Why? Because:

1. Nintendo still wants to get as much as they can out of Wii U and 3DS and

2. Because it takes TIME to develop a new system, and develop games for it.


So again, I'm fairly confident, that no new Nintendo system will launch until 2017. I'll be genuinely shocked if it comes out next year. But I very seriously doubt it will. So in that case, we can all look forward to at least one more year (2016) full of (hopefully great) Wii U releases.

 

 

P.S. IF they do follow suit by making two Zelda remakes for each system, I'm TOTALLY fine with the idea of them remaking TP. I'd buy that shit day one. That AND this epic new Zelda, would be awesome sauce.
