Did the April Fools Direct make up for the Zelda Delay?

Point is, Nintendo could easily take away all the anger and negativity from a lot of their fans by stating Zelda will only come to the WiiU and not the NX.
It is really that simple to get the cat back in the bag again.
Just on sentence during the direct would have been enough.
But they stayed silent, and now I don’t trust them anymore.

You're certainly not alone in this; the anxiety that Wii U owners will be cheated out of getting an exclusive Zelda is fairly widespread since its delay.

It would be quite a knife in the back to people who invested in the platform; never before has a Nintendo console missed out on an exclusive Zelda.

Look how fine worked for Sony the Last of Us remake. If this is the best Zelda ever made (or close to it) It would be fair to release it just for a 15m seller console? I don´t think so. I think that is nothing wrong if the game is coming to wiiu anyways.

In my opinion it would be ideal to release this game next year and then release it a year after for the NX launch on 2017.

But we don´t even know what is NX, maybe is a console that can play WiiU and 3ds games. Maybe they will be porting NX exclusive games to WiiU until 2018 or so. Who knows.
