Or people will buy NX game and play it on new NX console, it makes more sense.

If Zelda U were an NX game, but it's not.

If it's released on NX too practically will be NX game too, especially if it's released in same time on NX and Wii U. Fact that is port will not change anything, people dont consider TP like GC game only, on contrary most people consider TP like Wii game because huge majority of people played game on Wii and game had much longer life on Wii, GC version was practically dead right after launch.

COMPLETE speculation, which WIndwaker HD would point to the contrary.

I dont see what GC HD port having with completely new Zelda that will arrive at end of Wii U life!? Also you acting like nothing similar happened before, but reality is that Zelda U is in very similar position like Twilight Princes was when become cross platform title and launch title for Wii.

The main difference is that GameCube already had its own Zelda game when Twilight Princess released. That's why it was on the GameCube and Wii.

Skyward Sword was the Wii's exclusive Zelda. It's highly unlikely Nintendo would not give the Wii U its own Zelda game.

I don't see why is so important that Wii U has exclusive game, it important to have new 3D main Zelda game and that will have. Its not like Nintendo will not release new Zelda on Wii U at all.

NX will release this year or Nintendo will go out of business. Pretty simple stuff really.

And what happened? The first release (wii) completely cannibalized the second (gc). If the Wii U version releases first, there will be no real to release on NX.

Yes, and GC was practically dead after TP launch, while game continue long life on new platform, thats a point. Even if NX home console dont arrives this year, Zelda U will definitely will be ported to NX and definitely will have impact on NX and sales of game because Wii U is a faile and lots a people dont want to buy Wii U and they waiting for next Nintendo home console.

It was one to three weeks difference depending on the region. Do you really think that the GC version would have cannibalized the Wii version in the long run, if it had launched 3weeks before the Wii version?

You guus arguing about zelda... let's be reasonable here.
The Wii u is going to get its own exclusive zelda game. Let's not be ridiculous here. Nintendo will make sure that wii u will get its own zelda. There isn't going to be a dual release.

Why is so important to have exclusive Zelda game, its way more important to have new Zelda game but doesn't need to be exclusive.

You will be very surprised if you think Nintendo will miss big chance (big chances for much higher sales of game and chances for killer launch title for NX) here and want port Zelda U for NX at all.

I don't think it's out of the question. How many people would have wanted to wait to play it?

The same reason people feel its so important that the game gets a duel release. It really isn't all that important. I also think "big chance" is a bit exaggerated.
