The last year and a half have given people nothing to be excited about with Zelda U, but introduced plenty of negativity in the form of its delay, its radio silence and absence from E3, and an overall lack of coverage. Nintendo have sat back and let apathy and negativity accumulate, and some of that will inevitably stick. Once a negative association is established, it's not easily undone. Remember how Wii and Wii U's rep of having "no games" stuck even after they had tons? Bad impressions stick. But more importantly, they have wasted a year and a half that could have been spent building excitement and positivity towards the game. They'll now only have 5 short months to gather momentum, and that can never achieve the kind of hype that a longer buildup can. |
Again, "only thing people complain is because they wanted more informations and videos, but that will go away moment Nintendo release Zelda U trailer at E3."
Do you really think after great and blown up full Zelda U trailer at E3, someone will say: "its ok but they didn't showed us Zelda year and half so I am not exatited"!? No, people after that will completely forget that we didn't see almost nothing year and half because after trailer and new infos that want be important any more.
You can't really compare console and game in that matter.
They didn't waste anything, IMO it's very clear they want to full revile Zelda U alongside with NX (at E3 most likely game will be running at NX) and promote it like huge NX launch game, and that's good business decision, they will take use most of Zelda U with NX, thats whole point.
Hype for any game is biggest right before launch, and games easily and very fast get hyped, especially great and huge IP that has great marketing.
