Prediction: Both Breath of the Wild ports will be released simultaneously

I also dont think Nintendo benefits from releasing them seperately. The GC was still supported and in production when the Wii came out, so Zelda was a way to convince the GC install base to swtich over. 

As we know, the Wii U is literally dead. If they release them seperately, they wont gain that many sales out of it. Every Nintendo fan will get a Switch anyway, so killing off the few million or 2 million potential Zelda Wii U for bigger exlusives list for the Switch is not worth it.

At least that's how I see it. The best scenario for Nintendo is just cancelling the Wii U version, but that's a huge knife on Wii U owners' back. Best scenario for us is both versions releasing simultaneously, but that's a bit of a tiny risk for Nintendo.

 I'm still far from sold on Switch, though I'm not a Nintendo fan.

But I swear that if Nintendo decides to cancel the WiiU version, I'll never, ever, buy another Nintendo machine.
