Why should they wait until the NX reveal to show off a Wii U game. Doesn't make sense in any way.

Because it is coming to NX next holiday season as NX will be released next year.

I don't expect TBH. Nintendo is ridiculously quiet atm

Haha, that was a good joke. NX handheld is coming next holiday season, but NX home console is coming in late 2017.

Zelda Wii U is a Wii U exclusive. Deal with it.

I deal with the fact that Zelda HD was delayed a full year to release an NX version next year. It seems like you can't and still believes in fairy tales like NX homeconsole coming until 2017 because "5 year cycle" and leaving their most expensive project ever in the lowest userbase.

Are you really that close-minded to think the game was delayed to release on a console that is not launching before 2017?

Man.... I can't help you then.

Nintendo delayed that game because of the response they got after the VGA presentation. They wouldn't delay a big system seller that generates a huge amount of money for any reason else.

And the 3DS is almost dead. Sales go down and sales will be terrible in fiscal year 2016/17. That's why they plan to replace it first. Wii U still sells constantly 3 million units per year and has several big IPs (that weren't on the system yet) coming in 2016 -> more hardware sales.

All the 3DS gets are either ports (HW Legends) or successors to titles that are already available on the system (Mario & Luigi, Fire Emblem, Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Zelda) -> no rising hardware sales in the future.

Also do you know how to sell a system? With Smash Bros. and Mario Kart at launch. Both games aren't ready for 2016 NX release.

Just deal with it. Nintendo can't fullfill all of your dreams. They are a company that needs to make profit for their shareholders. And they don't make profit by releasing another flop in 2016. Nintendo is also not the type of company that releases their products incomplete or rushed (unless it's called "Mario Tennis: Ultra Trash"). Look at Zelda, Star Fox or Miitomo. All were delayed to reach Nintendo's quality standards. They won't push out new hardware just they can replace the Wii U. And after the flop that is called Wii U they need enough time to make a completed product and to promote this product. 2016 is just not happening. It would be nonsense for a company like Nintendo. Rather they try to abandon the 3DS, because it's more lucrative.

You think a company will release their most expensive project on the Wii U? No. It won't. Just like they did with TP. They delayed the game a full year only to make the Wii version. Official info. And they are doing the same this time.

And where's Skyward Sword on Wii U then? That game only sold 3 million units.

Zelda Wii U can sell around 4 million units after its launch in 2016. Later when the NX home console launches in 2017 they port it over to that and attach non-Wii U-owners and Wii U owners who rebuy the game -> more sales.

And even if it remains a Wii U exclusive: It will most likely be profitable with 4 million units sold.

Are you comparing now the Wii to the Wii U? The Wii sold 100M devices, Wii U only 10M. Even if SS flopped, they still have a lot of money. Now, they don't. They are not going to give Wii U another year. They have sold so poor in this year that in 2017 they are going to have negative sales at this rate. No. There's absolutely nothing that points NX to be released in 2017. Nothing. The few rumors or hints points a 2016 which makes sense.

2017? No sense. What benefits will they get to wait until 2017? I'm very curious.

Did you visit a school where you have learned reading? I don't think so...

I explained it a few posts before. Nintendo is also not the company that wants to push out new hardware just that they have it out.

And what influence has the install base on Skyward Sword sales and Zelda Wii U sales? Right, almost none. They can easily top Skyward Sword's sales with Zelda Wii U on the Wii U if they do it right. And system sales have improved this year! And as I said (if you would read it) there are many IPs that weren't on the Wii U yet, new IPs that can push hardware sales. The 3DS doesn't have that. They also need to get back the consumers' trust in the company. If they don't show how they handle the Wii U consumer-friendly many people will refuse to buy the NX (including myself).

It's 2017. Just deal with it. As I said before: Nintendo can't fullfill all fans' dreams. They are a company that needs to make profit and a 2017 home console release fits perfectly then.
