Ok,I don't get the point you are trying to make here.Did we know the Zelda team was working on a game after SS?Yes.Did we know it was Zelda U?No. No matter the speculation that we the fans make it doesn't change the fact that until Nintendo said in Jan'13 that Zelda U was in development that all we had was an assumption after the direct we had a known fact that the team behind SS was making the next Zelda, for all we knew they were making something else or members of the team were making another game like the Animal Crossing team after New leaf did they make a AC game for Wii U,no some of their members made Splatoon.So yes Zelda was announced in Jan'13 and showed at E3'14. Zelda U is not the only Nintendo game like this in the same direct they announce Zelda they also announced MK and 3D Mario but only showed them at E3 that year,#FE was announced with them only showing artwork of both franchises and it wasn't really showed until Apr'15, let's not forget StarFox Zero announced at E3'14 1st showed E3'15,we also already know about Pikmin 4 and that it was almost finished and we are yet to see it.

At the cost of pissing off the current fanbase, sure, and that is where the problem starts. Short term profits shouldn't be a higher priority than long term profits the people who buy your hardware can give you. You know, common sense.

Yup, proves my point you don't know nothing. Pure fact is that they announced Zelda for Wii U in Januar 2013. At E3 2014 they just showed that Zelda U that already had announcement.

No, by logic (not just mine), announced software is only software that Nintendo confirmed is working on, (like they done with Zelda U in Januar 2013), not software we asussiming Nintendo is working on.

Do you realize your posts don't have any sense!?

Actualy I am only right because we talked about when Zelda U is announced, not showed.

That's my point. It's that EA business logic that is there to undermine the fans that buy their consoles. The only problem is this isn't the NES/SNES era when they could pull an EA. Not to say in Jan it wasn't made just for Wii U and along the way that didn't change, but when that happens they need to be transparent about it. Not still putting smiles on their faces and pretending you still need to buy a piece of hardware you no longer need to buy. (Assuming of course it is going to both NX/Wii U).

I was trying to be the middle man since Zelda was announced in the direct in Jan'13 and the first time we saw it was at E3'14 since some people may only consider the game being showed as the actual announcement but that proved to be fruitless by his response to me and to you that he doesn't really have point of argument in this discusion.

The "I'm going to be pissed off" Wii U fanbase is getting so annoying I'm actually starting to hope Nintendo does them dirty like they did with Twilight Princess.

Zelda U for NX first, Wii U owners have to wait 2 extra weeks to play it.

Like seriously, were XBox fans this insane about the first XBox being replaced by the XBox 360 after only 4 years? 

So you do acknowledge it's a bullshit business practice.

It was a great business practice if we're talking strictly from a business POV. 

It's a great business practice if we think short term profits.
