Forums - Nintendo - Why do people think the next Zelda will be on NX?

I like how everyone just posts their opinion without even reading the OP, which basically would confirm it not to release on the NX.

It WILL be on the Wii U, however, I do believe it will release on the NX after it releases on the Wii U, but it won't be announced for at least a year later so that people buy the Wii U and the Wii U version.

for what we know know and nintnedo sayd, it will surely be released on wii U.
It may be released also on NX later, but that no one knows.



I fully agree with the OP here. One big factor i think for them not porting them, is dissapointing the Wii U fanbase, even though it could be money, doesnt mean they are gonna do it. If nintendo was only about money we would see them doing crazy stuff like EA is doing.

I like how you accuse every one else of not reading the OP just to give your own opinion more weight.

The OP is just speculation like everything else in this thread, it doesn't confirm anything.

Of course it is speculation. I never said it did confirm it or not. Is it a statement from Nintendo? No it isn't. So I'm glad you figured that out. 

However, the OP speculation (which actually provides a shit ton of facts) is way more believable and likely than "Becuz Nintendo needs the nx push and zelda on wii u will suck" which is basically what everyone is saying.

I like how everyone else (majority) just says the same shit they have been saying without quoting or responding to the OP. The whole point of the thread is to discuss this and people just keep saying the same thing they have been saying for months. 

Everyone can have their own opinion, but restating it over and over again gets annoying, especially in a thread that provides facts that leans towards Zelda U not releasing on the NX.

I don't really get that. The game is practically guaranteed to be on Wii U. The issue is whether it will be on the NX as well. If it's on both then why would that disappoint the Wii U fanbase in any way? They still get the game regardless of whether they want to upgrade to an NX or not.

Because many people bought a Wii U at first for zelda Wii U only, if they know it would get ported soon over to NX there would be immense complaints to nintendo about there no reason being to buy a Wii U in the first place, they could have just bought the NX.

Miyamoto has told us all it's still coming to Wii U, that's more of a definate than it coming to NX, we only know that Nintendo will talk NX next year but it still isnt confirmed its going to be released.

Why should it be so hard to develop a game for PowerPC + x86? Almost every multiplatform game of the last decade was programmed that way.


the ports for lastgen ports were often done by external studios I doubt nintendo would let a extern studio port a zelda game.

Facts in OP:

Twilight Princess only Zelda to release on 2 consoles
Gamecube had Windwaker before that
Gamecube and Wii were similar hardware wise
All Zelda games have been delayed before
Nintendo said the game will be on Wii U.

Everything else is opinion. There's stuff there to suggest it will be on Wii U, but absolutely nothing to suggest that it won't be on NX as well.


 Porting a big game (like Zelda) from Wii U (PowerPC) to anything else (X86, ARM, etc.) is a though job.

This is a fact, especially for Nintendo as they need more studios.

Nintendos studios are pretty small.

Fact

 The Wii U installed HW base is small, BUT most wii u owners are loyal Nintendo fans.

Again, fact. With the Wii U, it has been proven that the attach rate of Nintendo games is much higher on the Wii U than any other system. (Take MK8 VS Mk Wii. 50%+ attatch rate VS only about 30% attach rate.

 

You forgot a few.
