Twilight Princess does set a precedent, but I won't derail the thread further.

Even if it is exclusive though, I don't believe even Zelda could move as many Wii Us as Mario Kart 8 did. By the end of Wii U's lifespan I expect MK8 will still be the highest selling game and strongest system seller for the console.

You do realize that when Twilight Princess was released, the Gamecube already had an exclsuive Zelda? Windwaker. That is why they did it.

So again, they will not do cross gen with it. 

If it was coming for Wii U only IMO it would be at this E3. There's no way that after 4 years in development they can't even scrape together a new 30 second trailer at minimum. IMO something is up.

Beyond that I don't think Nintendo really cares what a handful of Zelda fans on the internet will say if it means the game ends up selling 2-3x the amount, which is exactly what happened to Twilight Princess, which wouldn't have had a chance in hell of sniffing those sales numbers without the dual release. Sure they'll complain on a message board ... and then they'll suck it up and end up buying the game anyway. 

As long as it comes out on Wii U, Nintendo's broken no promises, so they can put it on NX as well.
