| the_dengle said: If Zelda was releasing before E3 2016, it would be at E3 2015. You can take that to the bank. So it's a 2nd-half 2016 game; in fact, I'm confident it has been pushed all the way back to Holiday 2016. Think about how much of the game they showed at E3 2014. That is how much of the game they wanted to have shown a year and a half before release. The amount of the game we've currently seen is how much they wanted to have shown under a year before release. Now, suddenly it's almost two years away from release. I don't expect to see much more of it until it is once again under a year away. It seems like they are trying to avoid the mistake they made with Skyward Sword of showing too much too soon. They planned for Zelda's big blow-out to be at E3, 5 months before its release, and that is when its big blow-out will be. However, they will surely have some games coming out in the first half of 2016. If they want those games to be shown at any E3 conference at all, they'll have to talk about them this year. |
Right. I agree with literally every word of that. That's not what I'm saying.
Nintendo is on record saying that the specific reason they aren't showing Zelda at E3 this year is because they want to instead focus on games specifically coming out this year. I'm saying that, by playing the devil's advocate, someone could argue that because Nintendo said that, Nintendo is alsosaying that there will only be 2015 game at E3. If they're going to show any 2016 games, their reason for not showing Zelda doesn't make any sense.
And it really doesn't make any sense, because it's PR nonsense.
