Is it confirmed to be the most expensive Zelda game ever ? I know they did a new engine just for this game but I didn't hear anything about the price. If this is the case the port is even more likely...

Speculation based on the fact that it is HD and open world.

Are you sure its not more the Gamecube still got Twilight Princess because the hardware was still so similar?

I'd say very likely to happen and I don't see why not either, it'll be the biggest installment in the franchise yet and the U isn't going to hit desired numbers so why not maximize the game's reach and have an NX version as well. It'd give the NX early momentum with out the need to remaster the game, Zelda games take 5 years between main installments on console so it'd be a while before NX gets a dedicated title.

Best selling Zelda game is TP as a result of the same treatment, the way the game was delayed after being confirmed for a 2015 release makes it seem a lot more likely as the same happened to TP.

I actually believe they will pull a TP with Zelda "U"... So Imo 100% Cross gen with Marketing focus on NX.

@bold I think they might give the next Zelda even more of an exclusive window. They want NX to be a success and holding Zelda "hostage" is the best way to ascertain a big install base early on. This is not about kinsness or loyalty Nintendo needs NX to be a success (not 100m+ but 60m+, which is already a big hurdle) or they´ll continue going down (not to mention investors).

If NX is a fusion type device or a platform with a home and portable version I think 60m is not going to be much of a hurdle as the Portable side of things will carry that alone, it's mainly the home console side of things which tends to be unpredictable. Main thing they'd want here is would be around 80m with the console side of things at least doing 20m.

Even if it combines HH+HC into 1 device I think 60m will be a hurdle not to be underestimated. Also I prefer to lowball....

3DS is almost at 60m by itself and will likely end its run at around 70m, the portable side of things has never been a problem for Nintendo it's the console side of things. With the way Vita has been left to die and Sony looking like they're distancing themselves from the portable market its looking like the won't be direct competition either for the next portable meaning it's likely to hit even higher then 3DS as we enter another era where the is no other portable unless Sony want to have another try.

Only way HH+HC won't pass 60m is if they're priced way too high.

Huh? It's already been delayed one year. Only reason they would have to push it to 2017 is if they literally had to change everything (artstyle, gameplay mechanics, etc.), or if they just sat on it for a year after completion like they did with Majora's Mask 3D. Both scenarios are equally dumb, so I'm still firmly convinced it's coming out in 2016.

I think it's a safe bet that we'll see a port to NX.
As long as we still get it on Wii U then it's perfectly fine
