No offense to XCX, but that's a poor man's holiday title. That should have been a late Summer game. And if they couldn't even get the Zelda game they revealed a year ago out in 2015, there's no entertaining Metroid coming out this year. And seeing as it's been over two years since literally anything of substance has been said about SMT x FE, that's pretty much crossed of the list as well

Let's face it; Yarn Yoshi is this year's holiday block buster. Or they'll just delay Splatoon until November. Funny how losing one game can make 2015 look Wii U 2013 bad.

The worst thing is that this is after recieving literally no Nintendo Directs since January with the biggest Wii U game released this year being what amounts to an eshop Kirby game. Seriously, what the fuck is this year? What have they been doing? 

Major restructuring is more likely. Twilight-Princess style. But that does not necessarily mean it's also getting booted to cross-gen status.

Somebody threw over a tea table.

I'm not even looking forward to E3 anymore.

Prime Trilogy is done and Retro is in rainbow land doing DK.

When you have no third party and only yourselves to rely on,then yes.

This was their huge holiday title, the only title they could release this season that would push console sales. 

Sony can get away with delaying Uncharted 4 due to strong third party support. Nintendo couldnt afford to do the same with Zelda as they only have themselves as support so when they delay a game it hurts worse for them than it would hurt Sony or Microsoft delaying a game.

Wild guess here, but could it be that they won't be showing it at the E3 to ditch the cell shaded graphics and return to realistic?

Chances are it shall be delayed to 2017.

No. Delays in Zelda are not always for good.

Cross gen title maybe? I wouldn't mind.
