Porting will be easy and fast despite different architecture, 3rd parties were doing ports of PS3/Xbox 360 game to Wii U for 6 months.

Again, TLOU for PS4 was Remaster (from 720p/30fps to 1080p/60fps), not simple port, and it was done buy small team of Naughty Dog for one year.

I dont think Nintendo will invest too much time of resources in NX version of Zelda U game, they will probably make straith port with some unique staffs for NX version, something similar like they done with Wii TP version in comparison with GC. NX port of Zelda U cant be show case of NX power because game is build from ground for Wii U power, some new title we be showcase of NX power, probably new 3D Mario that will be probably be launch title.

Controls are not only reason why TV was released for Wii too, same like Wii U situation, GC as at end of life and TP was huge game, so they ported game to Wii and make it launch game, and that was huge success, it was great launch title and TP Wii become best selling Zelda game, Nintendo want similar effect with Zelda U.

If you're talking about the best selling version, sure. But the best selling title was OOT on N64. Plus, you seem to be forgetting a huge amount of initial backlash when they revealed Zelda U from non Nintendo fans (and some Nintendo fans) for the game not looking like the tech demo. TP announcement reception was insanely positive, and the best selling version was on Nintendo's best selling console of all time. And you're going to say these things are similar how?

My mistake, TP Wii was sold 7.26m and OoT N64 was sold 7.6m, huge difrence. :)

Over 90% of coments on Internet was that Zelda U looks beatifule, same thing almost evre gaming cite said. Definatly some people in vast minoroty didnt like it, but there was nothing like huge amount of initial backlash. So yes, Zelda U announcement and reception was also insanely positive. One of reasons why TP sold so much on Wii is because was launch title, that's pure fact.

So we have great looking game that is very hyped, that is first HD and true open world Zelda game that seems like it will be one of the best Zelda's ever, and game like that will be launch title on new platform.
