We're still getting the game either way. But what you need to understand is that Nintendo's a business, first and foremost, before they're a game developer, and they need to make money and the most money. And just releasing it on Wii U, then a Switch port would not have been NEARLY as profitable for them. Granted, it's their fault the Wii U flopped the way it did, but the whole point of this is to not make the same mistake again. To bring in all of those people that passed on the Wii U, but are now interested (and from the looks of their Switch reveal, which is now at 20 million views, VERY interested) in the Switch. Yeah, delays suck, but regardless of whatever the reason is, that gives them more time to polish it out and make it the best game it can possibly be, for both versions and ALL audiences. And if this rumor is anything to go by, for a game like this, with the space orbit expectations fans have for it, they don't want to and can't leave any stone unturned.

I understand the situation pretty well: they are delaying the game for the sake of another version. We have faced the truth. We knew since years ago, hell, since the first delay, that we were not going to play it until NX was released.

 

Now the point is that the console is going to be released, finally, but the game is not ready. All that wait for these years is worthless now because their greed.

 

This is not about bugs, testing or polish it to perfection. The game may not be ready at launch because they were wasting time on a port.

 

And just to remember something: Zelda needs only 2 million to break, and considering sales of some games, the Wii U version alone could have guaranteed at least double the amount. Releasing a definitve version like Splatoon and MK would have make some duoble dip, like me.

 

Nintendo is by no means a hero. They are not polishing the game. They are not caring for their fans. They failed at their plan and this could hurt Switchs launch, because as much as you doubt, many are excited to play Zelda on Switch.
