| SJReiter said: 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. |
It would be bad because many people bought a Wii U with the understanding that it would be getting an amazing HD Zelda game. Nintendo has shown far too much of Zelda U at this point to move it to NX. It would be dishonest, disloyal and if NX turns out not to be a stellar hit with the casuals then moving Zelda could be a nail in the coffin for Nintendo since they will have lost the trust of a huge segment of their fanbase (the same fans that are currently driving Splatoon and Amiibo sales and keeping Nintendo somewhat profitable during these really dark times).
It would essentially be the Nintendo equivalent of Sega discontinuing the Saturn and rushing something new to the market.
