he is just saying it like that to hype it up or maybe its just translation error..  I cant think of one reason to push it to a 2016 release.

- Massive, ambitious project

- It's Nintendo.

But hey, I'd actually like to be wrong, I don't wanna wait til 2016...

thats because of the 3DS now all they do is focus on the Wii U also they work with other companies..aounuma hinted that for zelda u someone else would make the cut scenes etc.. and they showed footage (in game) at this years E3 why wouldnt they show a year later ? and we all know Nintendo almost never shows footage of a game that isnt ready to be shown to the public. to me all signs are showing a 2015 release.

If we'd seen actual gameplay at this year's E3 I'd agree, but instead we got a cutscene. Nintendo have delayed so many games on Wii U it's not even funny, a game as huge as this one would be  especially vulnerable.

yeah but they showed us more than half of the overworld in that cutscene..so a huge chunk is probably playable it just wasnt ready to be shown. also mostly when they show us a new zelda game its a cutscene or a few cutscenes..

I think it would be smarter to have a new trailer for the Spike VG Awards.

That reaches a bigger audience than a Nintendo Direct and it would give Nintendo seem buzz/hype at the event as they usually don't get much there.

I don't think Nintendo would let the game be moved to 2016

Aounuma  already said that the game would be playable at next year's E3, so I still believe in a 2015 release.

Well if they cannot show much at E32015 it means bye bye to 2015 release!

After Pikmin 3, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Tropical Freeze, Wii Fit U, Wii Party U, and in PAL Captain Toad and Kirby, I've learned to expect delays when it comes to Nintendo on Wii U.
