Zelda wii u is going to be the next ocarina of time



Around the Network

NX will be released in November
Zelda WiiU will be released the same day, will not have a NX version but if you run the WiiU-version on NX it will have exclusive content, think Oracle-series on GBA
PS VR will be a massive bomb
Uncharted 4 will be OK, media will call it the greatest masterpiece
Red Dead Sequel will finally be annouced in the Spring and release this fall
There will be no new Assassin's Creed this year, but a enhanced port of the Ezio trilogy that will have new content that will connect it to the movie
Mass Effect Andromeda will not be released this year

NX sells 4 million and the world goes crazy for Nintendo.
PS4 outsells wii u and x1
FE Fates does really well in the west.
XB1 peak year.
No Mans Sky is as good as the Order 1886 and sells around the same.

 

You better have though the Order was absolutely amazing.

I actually enjoyed what I've played of it. The only problem I had was that I couldn't interact with the world and it was so damn short. But i finished it in 5 hours at a friends. 





Also Zelda U will release November 2016 and release March 2017 on NX.



nostradamus time... Lets see what my crystal ball tells me..

Uncharted 4 scores 92+ metacritic score.
Horrizon Zero dawn scores 90+ metacritics score.
Persona 5 will sell much higher than Persona 4 did (the 3rd and 4th are like hidden gems, the internet exsists now).
PS VR will be 299 and have a slow start, but sell well enough (higher than most here think).
Street Fighter V will be the best selling street fighter game since the 2nd game.
By end of year, PS4 will be over 55million units sold.

Nintendo releases the NX around november/december this year.
Zelda U releases in during the holidays this year (its not delayed into 2017).
Zelda U scores lower than normal metacritic wise (struggle adapting to open world).
SMTxFE (flops in the west, its a weird mix and the idol thingy will turn people away from it).

Crackdown will have issues on launch and far into it, due to the network&server loads (if it sells well).
Quantum break will score high on metacritics (90+).
Scalebound is going to flop (the issues it had last time they showed it, didnt impress me).
ReCore is pushed back to 2017.

-VR doesn't get popular because it costs too much $$$ and because people don't want to look dumb wearing big headsets that cover their eyes;

- The Last Guardian and Horizon get delayed to next year.
- Quantum brake will flop like the Order1886, Scalebound will be the highest crtiticley acclaimed game in the consoles lifetime and save the day.
- Microsofts stocks will collapse.
- God of War 4 will be announced and released the same year.
- The NX will launch in November 2016, the Console and Handheld version will have the same architecture and sharing the same cartridges but sold seperatley. The console version will be as powerfull as the Wii U and cost 200$, playing games with better performance than the handheld. There will be no gimmick controllers, both will completley sell out in 2016 and be the next wii.



Since the kind of games that get GOTY awards tend to be big-budget, heavily-marketed and nothing too edgy, I'm going to go right ahead now and say the GOTY contenders for 2016 are, depressingly, already pretty easy to spot. It's going to be between Uncharted 4, Horizon: Zero Dawn and the new Zelda for most of the awards.

Outside chances could be XCOM 2 and Mirror's Edge 2.

Also predicting that most of the big-budget releases (including at least a couple of the ones I mentioned) will be massively overrated by critics and then by fans who lack the ability to think for themselves.

The trend of open-world games releasing slightly broken will continue.

Konami, EA, Ubisoft, Warner Bros. and Activision will all continue to be insufferable.

I'll have to sit through far too many Hirai memes as a result of the more obnoxious factions of the PS4 fandom.

Most people on gaming forums will continue to speculate needlessly about the NX because they apparently have nothing better to do.

Its weird... I think the reverse will be true. Quantum break will do well, and Scalebound is going to be the flop.

Microsofts stock collapseing? huh? why?

I really hope your right about the NX controllers.
