| RolStoppable said: That's a long list of points in the OP, but nothing really worth of value. Meaning that none of it rules out an NX release. Nintendo wants to have NX start out strong and minimize software droughts. Their entire restructuring process points towards that. They aren't going to make the next Zelda a Wii U-only release because the game's development schedule is too close to the NX launch. They would be flushing a system-seller down the toilet by releasing it only on the Wii U. |
sure its not a 100% never happen thing. I just said, in my opinion its unlikely.
And Nintendo could do more damage with a NX port as it would help. Most Zelda fans already got a wii u anyway. The sales from the game wouldnt be higher. Im very sure, that Zelda Wii U will sell more copies on wii u (exclusive release) as skyward sword sold on wii (100mio userbase).
Bring the game to NX and Wii u could also make people think: "Okay i already got a wii u so ill get the game for wii u and skip the nx, because Zelda NX will be again on NX and "NX-sucessor".
Also Zelda is not Nintendos biggest seller. Special as a Port. The wii doesnt did that well because of Twilight Princess. It sold that well because of wii sports. And Nintendo knows that. They tried to do the same on wii u with nintendoland but it failed.
Game series like Mario Kart, 3d/2s Mario games, Smash and co sell ALOT better then Zelda games. So why bother with a Port of a wii u game if you could bring mario kart 9 on NX release instead ? It just would make ALOT more sense.
Some sales:
Skyward Sword: 3,5 mio
Twilight Princess (wii): 7,1 mio (rank 17 most sold on wii)
Mario Galaxy: 11,2 Mio
Mario Kart Wii: 35 Mio
Smash Brawl: 12,5 Mio
Mario Party 8: 8,2 Mio
New Super mario Bros wii: 28 Mio
Zelda is not a big systems seller. especially for a console that is aimed at the casual market.
Nintendo already got their "hardcore system". its the wii u. Where all the Nintendo fans are at. Thats the perfect console to release the new zelda on.
