Good god.

People really do this every time, don't they?

Nintendo announces partnership/licensing deal with some mobile games company, suddenly people think "Nintendo's going mobile!"

Nintendo announced that (duh, as ALWAYS) they are, in fact, developing another new NEXT gen console. And some people automatically assume "IT'LL BE OUT IN 2016, WII U is DONE!"

Neither are the case. And no, Xenoblade and Zelda are both about DONE in development for Wii U. Iwata and Miyamoto and Reggie has stated repeatedly that they're sticking by Wii U (and 3DS). It doesn't make sense for them to launch a new console before 2017. New systems take time to develop, and so do games for those new systems.

So people need to slow that roll. Zelda "U" is Zelda "U" for a reason. It's a Wii U game. It'll be out this fall/holidays. Pretty much end of story.
