And why not? How is Holiday 2014 something delusional if they focused on developing the game with that release date in mind and not wasting time in other things?

lmfao. Cuz you grab a star in the galaxy games its now radically different than the flagpost? They are both just end goals. Just some levels from the galaxies allow you to get another star on the same path. Your wrong beyond relief

That's already more exploration. Also, for many stars you have to do something to get it different from just jumping.

You should play again SMG.

lol, no just no. make the thread already. You do have some exploration in 3DWorld, you have to locate 3 green stars per level. So wat do you make of that???

3 stars that are not outside of the pat. 3DWorld is even more linear than SMG.

I still think it will come out this year. It will be this years SM3DW.

I can only hope. I wish you are right.

Because most 2D Mario games have 8 directions of movement...yup yup :P

Also, Wii U Zelda is going to be done when its done. Hyrule Warriors isn't going to affect that in any meaningful way. It just means we get another game while we are waiting. Quit your whining...

When they talked about announcing a game closer to release, I'm sure they were talking about Zelda. Especially since Aonuma said that he wanted the next Zelda to have less developement time, as Skyward Sword took too long. 3 years was his sweet spot.

I remain indifferent. I need to see more. But, August 2014, I called that. You guys should listen to me more often .

Also, I doubt the handful of people working on Wind Waker HD and Aonuma's trip to Koei's studios once every two weeks would have significantly sped up the development of Zelda U. Or that those people would have even been put to work on the Zelda franchise in the first place. Plus, they probably had a deadline (a goal, at least) for Zelda U before WWHD and HW were even considered. I do definitely relate to the feeling of wanting Zelda U sooner rather than later though!
