they will pull a TLOU with zelda. release it on wiiu next year and remaster it for the nx one year later, so everybody is happy.
releasing the game at the same time on both consoles is stupid, people not gonna buy it twice than.

So you saying releasing TP on GC and on Wii was stupid!?

no, releasing it so close was stupid. it hurted sales on both consoles.

They should wait at least 3-4 years to remaster Zelda U (ideally when the NX succesor gets released) like they did with all Zelda remasters. Releasing the remaster a year later would be hardly any different than releasing them at the same time.

And I will never understand people who bought the same game twice.



That's fairly obvious. It's gonna be NX-only.

Dumb prediction

Miyamoto, less than 2 months ago: "We're here to talk about Star Fox but Zelda is still coming to Wii U, so don't worry about that."

This is just people wanting to be negative.

to be fair, he's not exactly around to enforce this.

I think chances that Nintendo will remaster Zelda U for NX are very slim, they will release simple port for NX, just they done with TP on Wii.

People forgetting that we didn't have no one Wii remaster game on Wii U, I dont see why it would be different on NX, I dont think Nintendo will do any Wii U remastered game on NX.

It's ironic how some people feel they can be "100% certain" of something for which they actually know relatively little actual facts or details about. Yes, the Wii U is sluggish in the sales department, which is a damn shame. But if anything, Iwata's death is not going to suddenly make them shy away from his "We're going to support the Wii U and satisfy Wii U owners" statement. They're more than likely to double down on that sentiment. And I say: good.

I've said repeatedly, on a personal level, that I do not want to see the next Nintendo system come out till 2017. If they release "NX" next year, it will, to me, very much feel like them "pulling a Sega". Because that is exactly what Sega did with both the Saturn and the Dreamcast: rushing it out to market undercooked, when they should have waited. That has thus far never been Nintendo's style, and I would hope that it wouldn't suddenly start being their style now. I would like to believe that they will do what they've always done, and not just suddenly freak out and cave to investor pressure. You should never operate your business based on what investors think. You should do what you think is best, period.

And to me, NX coming out in 2016, "undercooked", with very likely not enough games available for it, is not going to solve anything. 2017 gives both Nintendo and their partners and internal dev teams, as WELL as third party companies, more time to actually develop games for the damn thing. If they release in 2016, I just feel like it's going to in many ways be a Wii U situation all over again, where they don't have enough games ready, and there will just be more droughts, etc. They need to handle this whole situation better.

And as far as Zelda itself goes...while I concede that it is entirely possible Nintendo just might pull a TP scenario again, I think it would be smart of them not to. Yes, on the one hand, it could certainly help sell the NX. But on the other hand, there's only so many times you can piss on fans before they just quit on you. Not that Nintendo has a history of doing so, but with the TP scenario, while some fans didn't care, MANY other fans were pretty displeased to think that not only was the game coming out on their new console first, but that it was likely the "better" version. That wound up not being the case, as far as "better" goes. But this time, it just might be. And that is just going to make the Wii U version feel less special, or even pointless, to many people.

I think they'd be far better served to just cook up a new 3D Mario as a launch title for NX, along with whatever other games, and leave this Zelda as a "Swan song" title for Wii U. That way, many gamers could at least feel like "Well, you know, Wii U has had it's problems, but it's got some great games, and one bad ass Zelda, so it's all good". They are going to be far less inclined to feel that way, if the game is just going to be available on their next system also. That will sour many people. And while I feel the Nintendo brand and fan loyalty are stronger than was the case for Sega, it still bears repeating that that is precisely what happened with the Dreamcast. Many Genesis fans were very much soured by how Sega handled, and then prematurely abandoned, the Saturn, and thus there were in fact many Sega gamers who simply said "Fuck it", and didn't even buy a Dreamcast, but rather moved on to PS1 or PS2 (or even Xbox or Gamecube). The way Sega handled the Saturn/Dreamcast situation, really pissed off a lot of fans, and lost them a great amount of fan confidence and loyalty. I really don't think Nintendo wants to go for any version of that.

So just saying, to me, releasing NX in 2017, and NOT porting Zelda to it, or straight out moving the game exclusively to NX, would be their best move. They simply don't need to. Let Wii U have it's (hopefully) awesome Zelda game. And they can make an exclusive NX Zelda further down the road.

Nintendo can release the NX on 2017,2018 or 2019. It doesn't matter as they are not developing more big games and releasing after 2016 won't make the console better with cheap unrequested spin-offs like Amiibo Party. Most of us wants the NX as soon as possible because it means great big games again. Wii U won't get anything.

Oh, and releasing Zelda HD on NX won't affect anything as Wii U is a big failure and fans know this.

Actually it will affect a lot: if Nintendo releases Zelda HD on NX they will effectively say that the Wii U isn't a real Nintendo console and doesn't deserve an exclusive Zelda. The Wii U won't be considered a cute console that nobody bought but a piece of s*it like the Virtual Boy that happened to have a long lifespan. If Nintendo didn't want to release an exclusive Zelda on the Wii U they should have dumped the console after six months like the Virtual Boy and give a refund to everyone who bought one. By releasing Zelda HD on NX they will s*it on everyone who believed Nintendo when they said they would support the Wii U.

We can bet on it too, if you're so confident.



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.

It will be like Twilight Princess. Many are not going to buy Wii U, but NX could and there's opportunity for a better performance of the game.
