| curl-6 said: Since you've deleted my quote, I'm not sure which particular points you are responding to here, but if you look back at previous Zelda games like Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword, Nintendo did not wait until they were 6 months out to start the hype train. 11 months out from those, (assuming a November 2016 release for Zelda U) we'd seen plenty of footage, including substantial gameplay, and the internet was abuzz. Zelda U isn't even on the radar right now except for the hardcore Nintendo faithful. |
Except Twilight Princess had no trailer for a whole year before a few months before release, under the logic you're employing that should have hurt it but no it didn't even SS had a long quiet period before release. Zelda is simply among those franchises that does not need to keep having media out as the name alone is that powerful, Zelda U is on many people's radars no matter what you keep telling yourself, when people think of big games coming out Zelda is one of them it just comes to people's heads subconciously so it doesn't require constant media, I'll bet you one trailer during E3 while blow the roof off easily.
Want an example of what I mean we had the launch teaser then it went quiet then we had the Game Awards footage and everyone was losing their heads and even the 13 second teaser caused a stir. This highlights that things are very much the opposite to what you claim, the reason the's not much footage shown is because the's no need to show it now they can save it all for the months leading to launch for much more impact. The fact that little has been seen of the game will add to it.
