A gamble in which Nintendo better be ready for the consequences if they take.

 

But it isn't really much of a gamble. We're talking Zelda fans here, and those Zelda fans won't want to miss out on the NX Zelda just because Zelda U wasn't exclusive to the Wii U.

That isn't really what people are worried about. It's more of the: "Well, if Nintendo just gives up on failed consoles. I'm not gonna trust the next console. I'll wait till it actually is a success. Not gonna waste my time, if that one tanks." Or the other extreme option: "Fuck this bullshit. I bought this crap console, for a Zelda game. And I waited extra time, for them to port it to the next system? Why the fuck did I buy this garbage thing then? Screw this shit company. I'm going to Sony."

Anyone even Wii U owners should be happy to see Zelda U on both the Wii U and the NX, Why would anyone want such a high budget game to get 1-2 years worth of sales on the current hardware that have a small userbase  ( yes it will sell good on that userbase as its the hardcore Zelda fans) when the NX could potential keep regular sales going for 5+ years.

 

Just look at the legs of Twilight Princess on Wii - It's still selling now and its been a Generation and half.

"If" the NX is a combined platform your also bringing in a big fan base from the handheld side that would probably add a few million sales to it just there along with console gamers potentially picking up a Nintendo console since there last N64 or Gamecube purchase and even people picking up a Nintendo console for the first time.

I don't actually think it will be a NX launch title but a first year release which would still give Wii U owners like 6 months earlier to play it and hey even double dip a year after when they get a NX and fancy another Zelda fix.

 

 

The GC version would look better. If the game was still produced as long as the Wii one was.
