How are they not giving you what you want? You still get the game on Wii U but yet you are too selfish to let it go multiplatform at launch lol?

The  Wii U console is a commercial failure, there is no point injecting it with pills anymore. No super pill will save it. Mario Kart or Smash Bros couldn't save it.

If Zelda U was to stay an exclusive it wouldn't reach it's sales potential and who knows how much money they pumped into this being their first HD zelda game with an ambition to make it a big world?

It only makes commercial sense for them to release it at NX launch to give that system a "fighting" chance of suceeding. If NX launches with no big games it will be dead on arrival. NX will need a line up 5x stronger than Wii U had at launch to make it fly of the shelves. You think they will not use one of their strongest franchises to make that happen?

While I agree with you whole heartedly, the Wii U had a great launch. It's what came immediately after that was abysmal.

It has a great launch of 3rd party ports though, which for most part were fairly old.  WIth some asshole moves from EA with their games.

There wasn't really any flag ship Nintendo games unless you want to count a 2D mario game. 

In launch window if you already owned a PS360 I would say the only ones worth buying at the time was Zombie U.

For Nintendo only fans, it was like sequels to games they never played (but worth buying), which were largely ignored sadly.
