I see that most Nintendo fans have said things along the line of "if Nintendo releases Zelda Wii U on NX it will be a major betrayal of my trust." I understand the frustration of buying a console expecting a game only to have that game release on another console, but I can't help but think that it would be better if Zelda Wii U did release on NX. I just think that Nintendo could make the game better if they made it for NX (assuming NX has significantly higher graphical capacity than Wii U). Also, since I'm a huge Nintendo fan I know I'll be buying NX anyway, so I figure it might as well have the best Zelda experience ever (hopefully). I don't know, what do you guys think. Would it really be so awful if the new Zelda released on NX?

Note: the same point stands if it's cross-gen, as the NX version would likely be superior. 


The reason we see it as a betrayal of trust is that Nintendo has been disguising the fact that they're dumping support for the Wii U before we get a proper mainline Zelda or Metroid (some would even argue Mario) game. Now that this is becoming more abundantly clear, we're waking up to the fact that we spent $300, more than most had ever dropped on a Nintendo console, for a machine they aren't even going to support as well as the Gamecube.

They promised that the next system wouldn't launch until the Wii U owners had been satisfied - and we haven't. Based on the showing at E3, they are spending more time prepping the NX launch than fulfiling their promise to their biggest fans. 

With every other Nintendo release, I was ready for a new console when the announcement was made and I was content with the library of games released for the last console. Why would I buy a new console from Nintendo when I don't feel like I've gotten my monies worth out of this one?
