They've left the Wii U to die.

Because it's the only remaining heavy hitter for the system. Everything else is either niche or small-to-medium scale.

With Zelda, the system could at least go out with, well, maybe not a bang, but a plucky growl. Now it looks like it will taper off with a whimper.

That isn't to say that there is nothing else coming besides Zelda U this holiday season. There could be something else announced that will be great too at E3, or just later this year. You never know. I also think this does a disservice to the other games coming out this year. They may not be Zelda, but they could be great games on their own.

I would love to believe this, but honestly, Nintendo's recent behaviour scares me. It seems like nothing is safe anymore. I wake one day and bam, Zelda is not just delayed, but won't even be at E3, this coming just weeks after the announcement of a new platform and a deal to enter the mobile market.

At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised to wake up tomorrow and find Nintendo have entered a deal with Apple to make all their games iPhone exclusive or some outlandish nonsense. It feels like all bets are off and anything and everything can and will happen.
