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 No one wants it on an outdated Wii U that no one owns, we want it as a launch title on NX when it releases next Christmas.

They said they stopped to show it because game will be released for one year, they also said they now showing only games that will be released in near future (6-9 months).

Saying that, they also maybe not showing because they want to show it on NX revealing, but doesn't mean that game will not be released on Wii U too.

They "wasted" TP on GC too, why this time would be different!? Game will be launched on Wii U it will sell at least 2m copies, and it will be launch title for NX. Its win-win situation for Nintendo, Wii U owners and fans will be satisfied, they will sell few millions on Wii U too and they will have strong launch game for NX. This is all over again TP situation, I don't see why people thinking otherwise when they dont have any reason for that.

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.

Zelda is TBD from January 2013. when was announced, and they didn't officially said that is coming next year even that is almost certain.

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


One month later than the Wii version.

But they guaranteed us that we were not supposed to wait until Wii launch to play Twilight Princess...

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

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Future

DO IT! :D

I would love that name actually!

Anything would be better than Zelda for wii u xD

Dare I mention there is a real possibility that the wii u version will be massively inferior to the NX version. It may even form part of the marketing of NX when you see the huge difference in performance between wii u and NX. It's quite possible the wii u version will have missing features and other issues. The gamecube and wii were not far apart in performance but the wii u and NX gap will be huge. It won't be in Nintendo's interest to release a version of the game on NX that looks similar to wii u.

Maybe there is a chance Zelda will be a pack in game for NX at launch too.

The new Zelda will be more about the NX than wii u because it will surely offer the best gameplay experience.

are you really serious? i mean REALLY?


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. 

You can't seriously compare The Last Guardian With Zelda U.

Why would Nintendo shoot themselves in the foot doing a thing like that? That would mean taking a game that is taking an eternity to make and, instead of just making an exact port, make one version look so inferior that WiiU owners would complain, and with good reason, while also expanding the already lenghty developement period. It's safer to just make an exact port, it will atract people to the NX anyway without the risk o backlash.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Something to note, he wouldn't be lying if something OTHER than triforce heroes delayed Zelda...
