No they showed off Skyward Sword well before the Wii U. They showed that game for about 2 years before it was released if I recall correctly :P

Well they showed Zelda Wii U last year so the same could be said about it.

Either way, if the NX is indeed coming next year, Zelda is sure to be cross-gen.


True, I made a mistake.

Skyward Sword was revealed in 2010 and released in 2011. The 2009 stuff was just the concept art.

The Wii U was revealed in 2011 and released in 2012.

So this may very well be the same case, we will see. I don't know if the NX releasing in 2017 is a good idea, in fact I think it is disastrous.  There has been talks that Sony wants the PS5 to come out in 2018/2019 and bring back the 4-5 year cycles. This would mean that history repeats it self and Nintendo gets cut off from the competition and third parties won't support the NX. Of course that is unless the NX is a powerhouse that can keep up with the competition. In the same manner Microsoft was able to do so with the 360.
