What really makes me livid is that Zelda U was announced right off the heels of this:

"Don't want to leave a long gap between announcement/release of new game types that would lessen the impact or allow competitors to copy." - Iwata

Fuck. Off.

They also said they wanted to cut developement time from 5 down to 3 years, guess what 2011 to 2016 is 5 years. Fuck you nintendo!

Assuming it's coming 2016.

Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

With this kind of announcement and the fact that they don't even specify that they are aiming for next year I doubt it'll even come in 2016... 2015 will be another year where Nintendo becomes less and less relevant. Such a disappointment considering they could be so much more than they are today.

Consoles are really not worth my time anymore, at least at the moment.

I don't think XCX is a poor man's anything. It won't push hardware nearly as much as Zelda, but it will be among the best quality games on the Wii U when everything is said and done. As for SMTxFE, they've consistently referenced it but nothing solid yet. That could easily change at E3. And I wasn't saying Metroid would come out this year, just that it could be the big E3 game in place of Zelda.

I don't think Yoshi is the big holiday title at all. In fact, I'd say Mario Maker or Animal Crossing has a bigger shot.

I agree about the Direct situation. That's some bullshit.

It won't push anything, dude. And I was being sarcastic about Yarn Yoshi. I'm not saying it won't be as good, I'm saying it won't be as important. That game is not a holiday title. It will be absolutely crushed if it comes out in November. I also don't care about E3 announcements. I was expecting a Metroid announcement, reguardless of this delay. That doesn't make up for it.

There's never been anything solid yet about SMT x FE. We know less than nothing about that game. The only reason we even know it's an RPG was because of some side comment. Again, I don't care what they talk about at E3 - There's no legitimate blockbuster this year. Not like Mario Kart or Smash. I want games to play, not announcements to watch.

FUCKEDYFUCKFUCKFUCKINGFUCK! NOOOOOOOOOOOO! ZELDAAAAAAAA! I know they're doing this for the right reason, but it still hurts :,( I know it'll be a better game for it, but damn!!!

I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Thank the mobile deal for this news, since there's no longer a sense of urgency for Ninty. Looks like they are spreading things out (lol) keeping Wii U alive until '17. IMO this solidifies NX portable releasing in the spring of '17, & home version that holiday. As far as making Zelda U a cross-gen release to NX, like TP was for GC-Wii, I think there's a good chance esp. if the NX is as powerful or close to U's spec level..
