Nintendo: We didn't want to show "wonderful footage" of Zelda WiiU and disappoint fans at E3

Y'know I'm not going to kill Nintendo over this.

It's fairly obvious they are likely planning to make a NX version, so they can't show it now. Better to just stay quiet about it.

But there's not a lot they can do. People can get upset, but company-wise if that's the direction they're going then it's the correct business move. I know fans are going to stomp their feet and get angry, but it is a business at the end of the day.

Dual releasing TP on the Wii launch window was one of the smartest things they've done in the last 10 years. You will enjoy the game one way or another when it's released, but for Nintendo this is likely their most expensive game project ever, they can't just screw around with it and let it release on a system with such a lower userbase. 

It's either that or massively cut the budget/scale of the game down probably, but the fans probably don't understand that either. Some times you have to be the "bad parent" even if the kids aren't going to like your decision. 

Also not burning a "real" Animal Crossing game on the Wii U ... again 100% the correct business decision. They need games like for the NX/next-gen portable launch window, Wii U is a lost cause market wise. 

This. All of this. Thank you.
