I think I know what's going on with Zelda U/NX

Well, the other possiblity is that, as this is a port, it's not revealing of what the Nx actually IS. A somewhat concerning (but not implausible) possibility that occurred to me is that the Nx is something which plays different from most consoles, and so any games developed for it would be a giveaway of their new gimmick.

I hope that's not the case, but as it is Nintendo one has to assume the console won't be completely conventional.

 

Huh whut? Since when were we talking about what the NX is? That has nothing to do with whether Zelda was delayed because NX or vice versa.

Yeah it's derailed a little. I was merely saying that they certainly wanted Zelda to be part of their Nx launch for publicity, but there's a chance the reason the only game they're showing so far is Zelda is that, as a game developed for the Wii U, it's not revealing of what the Nx actually is. If there's some gimmick they're trying to hide like they had with the Wii and Wii U, they might not be able to show any games designed specifically for it without giving said gimmick away.

Otherwise, I don't think we can possibly know which was delayed for which, as it's clear Nintendo is hellbent on them releasing at the same time.
