| the_dengle said: Exhibit A, Zelda Wii U explicitly stated to be a 2016 release by Nintendo as recently as 6 months ago. Exhibit B, Zelda Wii U delayed to March 2017. Xzibit C, NX launching in March 2017 "to make sure there are games to go along with the NX." It stands to reason if Zelda was originally planned to release in 2016, then the system it is serving as a launch title for was also planned to release in 2016. You can call it whatever you want, I don't need to use the "d" word. Nintendo planned to launch NX this year, but decided against it because they didn't have enough games ready. This was all but confirmed in the Q&A. The rest is just semantics. |
Again it could be that ZeldaU was delayed to 2016 because its the 30th anniversary of the franchise. Maybe Zelda was supposed to come out for the WiiU first and then the NX 1 year later with added content and upgraded graphics. Then Nintendo realized that they wouldnt have enough games to cover the lead up to the NX, so they moved the launch to March 2017 and some WiiU games we dont know about yet got moved to the NX instead. Also what was Nintendo supposed to say? "We moved the NX from a holiday 2017 release to a March 2017 release because......hmmmm....we wanted less games for the launch?"
