Except Pikmin wasn't already shown multiple times.

There's no doubt it's coming to Wii U, whether it comes to NX aswell is the only uncertainty, but I'm willing to bet it does.


Like all those "multiple" times they have showed Zelda HD?

Zelda for Wii U was only shown twice, once at E3 2014 and again in late 2014. That 2011 tech demo was nothing more than a tech demo.

I really don't see the debate here. Of course it's coming to wii u! And also to NX.
The game simply got delayed because they still haven't figured out how to name it :P

That doesn't reconfirm it. They did not give it a name other than Zelda Wii u. It could still be delayed because it is coming to nx.


yeah exactly. they are calling it Wii U Zelda because thats what the public knows it as. they are not saying its still coming to Wii U. 


are you really serious? i mean REALLY?

Nintendo would be dumb not to release it on WiiU, its still coming to WiiU, if Nintendo dont there screwing over there loyal fanbase, with some buying a U for the new Zelda, it will be cross platform and will be available on WiiU.


Agreed. WIth a 90+ meta review, it should have no issue sellinmg 5 million+. IMO. If they decide to port it to the NX lkater on, good for them, but skipping the WiiU would make them loose serious sales and fan trust.

That's not a reconfirmation. That's saying it wasn't delayed because of Triforce Heroes. He didn't say it wasn't moving to NX. For what other reason is it that they haven't even shown it in almost a full year and presumably delayed it until the launch of the NX? It's being improved and upgraded so that it can be "NX" Zelda the next time we see the game.

Why would he said that that game wasnt moving on NX, when its Wii U game!?

Because they said they showing only games that are coming in near future, almost every Zelda was delayed.

There is literally nothing that only indicates that Zelda U will will be NX exclusive, but in other hand all still point that is coming on Wii U.

That didn't stop them from showing Zelda before. Nintendo stopped showing Zelda because they're not going to show a game that has been upgraded for the NX before they unveil the new console.

That is pretty much as much indication as you can get outside of an official announcement, which is coming likely early in the coming year. The Wii U flopped, they're not going to waste Zelda on it. No one wants it on an outdated Wii U that no one owns, we want it as a launch title on NX when it releases next Christmas.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Uh huh. Just like Twilight Princess still came out on the GameCube.

Yes. same thing happened with The Last Guardian. they never said it was a PS4 game until they revealed it. same thing could happen with this Zelda.

There are some huge differences, Nintendo announced Zelda for Wii U basically on launch of Wii U, many people buying Nintendo console only for Zelda. Second, Zelda U will be launched next year (its was supposed to be launched this year and we saw gameplay that is running on Wii U), so game is almost finished and it will be released on both WiiU and NX, on other hand, Last Guardian for PS3 was basically stopped in middle of development and now it will arrive on PS4 next year in 3rd year of console life. Third, Nintendo isn't exactly Sony, they usually keep their promises especially when such a big projects are in question.

This is all over again TP situation, I don't see why people thinking otherwise when they dont have any reason for that.

You can't be so sure. Zelda still "TBD" in official FY2015 Q2 results.
