Wii U needs slow death, rise of NX and is Zelda delay inevitable?

Yes, but I dont give a big attention to Reggie. :)

Wii U is selling even worse than GC and Nintendo admited that they had big problems with translation to HD and that they very understaintment HD development, add that Zelda U will be biggest and probably most ambitious game (not just a Zelda game) for Nintendo till now.

Wii was new console and 16:9 new standard so of course they will add 16:9 support, and Wii was all about motion controls thats was main point of Wii, thats why they add Motion Controls. Also you forgetting that Wii is basically OC GC, so porting GC game to Wii was a piece of cake very fast and cheap, and we already know that NX will have different architecture than Wii U, probably AMD or ARM cpu. Making 1080p/60fps would basically means that Nintendo need to make whole graphic almost from beginning, Nintendo certainly will not want to spend resources, money and time on same game when they can spend all that on development for a new game. Simply port will take them much less time, money and resources.

Yea it is but the point I am trying to get at is that at the time of the GC... Nintendo didn't know they would have another console that would sell worse nor did they know that the wii was going to sell that much better. Yet the GC had many ambitious titles. And yes, I agree that this Zelda is the most ambitious game yet hence why you can see why I want it to be wiiU exclusive. See the thing is, I understand that HD development has been tough for them but considering how many big name titles that the wiiU is missing like Pokemon or Metroid and etc, the wiiU need something like Zelda to make it worth it

And yes, I know the reasoning why they added it but that doesn't make it any less of an enhanced port cause they really could have gotten away with doing less and still selling about the same amount but they didn't. They could have easily had a more simplistic motion controls instead of doing so many different gestures for each minigame and bow and etc. I mean, I remember many praising just the fishing game at the start for being so perfect. Also while I agree that switching from PowerPC to x86 would take some work, I doubt Nintendo just wants to leave it at that. Cause again, going back to TP, there were many motion controls elements that were quite impressive and those certainly took quite a bit of work to get right

And making something 1080p 60fps really doesn't take very long since game developers make the assests from higher resolutions anyway and unlocking the frame rate is veryyyy easy. Why do you think we have sooo many remasters? And enhancing the graphics would make people want to get the NX version and also show off the NX's true potential and it would also force the wiiU fans to upgrade if they want the best experience so there are plenty of reasons for doing so
