Forums - Nintendo - Could Zelda U be next years Wii U summer blockbuster?

I think its highly unlikely.

The nature of the delay announcement + the fact that the game still didn't have a proper gameplay reveal like normal Zelda's a year before release implies a late 2016 release at earliest. If the game was ever on track to come out in by december 2015 we would have seen more then an alpha looking demo before the delay was announced in march. If the team just needed a few extra months for polish like a summer delay implies, they would have said so. Instead they made it sound like entirely new gameplay components or tech is going to be implemented.

When was the last time a major Zelda didn't come out in fall? The Wind Waker which was 12 years ago?

It will be cross gen like Twillight princess

There's a reason why new Zelda footage is being held off until the NX unveiling.

Yep. They will reveal next year alongside the NX.

Well said, sometimes the silence from Nintendo is deafening.

It is. Especially when it is about their most anticipated game...

I get that they don't want to talk about it until they sort things out, but it's frustating because it seems nothing is moving and it even seems we went back.

Anyway, with Iwata's death, the premature demise of the WiiU,  the end of the cycle of the 3DS, the new focus on mobile, and the QOL being probably canned, everything at Nintendo seems to be up in the air, and nothing seems to move. But when it's start moving we're going to have lots and lots infos on everthing. And it will be in 2016.

It would be a great May booster IMO just like MK8 and Splatoon was. Nintendo needs to launch it next year to secure a 16million WiiU installbase IMO.


Look at what those 2 titles have in common, casual friendly multiplayer games. Zelda doesn't really fit that bill.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

It might honestly seeing how well Splatoon did in May but it all depends on where are they with the development at that time...
