I dont agree, I dont think that Zelda U port for NX will have any graphical bump, Nintendo dont remastered games from last generation. Most likely will be same TP situation, simple port with different control scheme.

I think Zelda TP HD and SS HD are almost certain for NX, and Zelda U for NX will very likely be simple port.

If NX releases in 2016, and is a home console or has a SKU equivalent capable of running the game, then I'd say we can be pretty sure the game will release on both following Twilight Princess' example.

Nintendo would be right to do so, console Zelda games average about 5m sales, the most successful ones up to 8m, the least successful ones just over 3m. I'd say 5m is difficult on WiiU alone and the game is too valuable to be left as one of the lesser selling ones while a fresh console with a new eager install-base is around the corner.

Now if NX releases in 2017, it's a different story. I don't see the game being delayed another year, that would be two years then and 6 after the last console Zelda (twice the amount of time Iwata wanted), but I do think they'll have something during it's release window. Either a port like The Last of Us for Zelda U to NX in early 2018, or a Twilight Princess HD remaster.

Off course we are fine, we are getting new Zelda (first HD and true open world Zelda) on Wii U. Who cares if isn't exclusive, I certainly will not enjoy less because of that.

"a console that Nintendo considers to be a piece of sh*t". And yet nintendo released so many great games on it.

Difference between 3D Mario and Zelda is that they can made 3D Mario in just 2 years, for Zelda they need much more time, at least 3-4 years.

Star Fox Zero certainly isn't low-budget indie game, its full AAA game that just dont have best Wii U graphics.

I really don't understand so much disappointment and anger because Zelda U will not be exclusive title, it's not like we will not have at all Zelda U on Wii U. Also, if you look, all 3D Zelda games instead SS are ported in some point.

99%

I think the new system and the next Zelda game will launch in 2016.

When there are pools people tend to not answer motivating with their opinions so nope :v

It will be done. Maybe the WiiU version will come out before the NX launch, so they can sell it on both systems and get doubled-dippers.

Even with 100% overlap 60m is not a hurdle because 3DS being well on its way to 60m would mean the portable side alone will hit 60m, all this is with mobile around not to mention mobile gaming is nothing new and is never going to replace dedicated gaming it's like when people 10 years ago were saying facebook games will eat into the Console and PC market.

The lack of competition for the 3DS' successor means it's likely to sell more.

True. Once the NX appears, most developers who migrated from PSP to Vita will find themselves in an interesting position. Either they develop games for the  PS4 (a move that would affect a lot japanese-centric titles that sell way better on handhelds), they go full mobile (a market with brutal competition for most of those niche titles) or the handheld NX. They could keep pushing the Vita, but without Sony, the userbase won't grow as fast as they need.

Don't underestimate the Steam Boy even if it'll be some sort of streaming device...
