NX needs better launch titles than the Wii U had.

Nintendo basically need a new Zelda game & mario game, for every launch they do.

NX going forever without a new zelda game, just because you want the Wii U to have the only version of that game, is a bad idea.

You want the NX to fail?

If the NX needs a Zelda port to succeed, it's doomed. But I think the NX will have a better launch than the Wii U, even without the ports...

You missing point, Zelda U port for NX is not guarantee that NX will succeed, but definitely with such a strong game like launch title chances that NX will have great launch are much higher, and after terrible performance of Wii U they need very strong launch.

Also its not only about launch it also about sales of games itself, why leave it only to dead platform at end of life when that same game can have much better sales on completely new platform.

(2015) Question for PS4 owners: if the situation would be reverse? would you still play on PS4?

BTW. Dave is working together with Neogaf mods who are familiar with the source and know this source to be legit. I am curious if once this occurs it will make a difference to those who think this is just another fake rumor?

Porting is not very easy and fast.

Sure, you wont need map designers and co to port a game, buy engine developers to port the enginge and co.

And those people would be needed to make the new enginge for the new zelda game for nx so the designer could really start they work. It will definitly delay an NX launch. A Zelda on XN might make sense for nintendo, but for us custormers its nothing "good".

Also all your arguments could be said about MANY games.

Porting Mario kart 8 to NX? Will probl sell millions again (like GTA sold millions on ps3 and later ps4).

Porting Smash? Same

Porting Splatoon? Yeaaas

Porting Pokken? Do it.

Just go further:

Lets port Witcher 3, GTA V, Metal gear Solida and so on.

Do you want nx to be a remastered machine? it should get its own titles.

 

Also: If you check back the zelda footage from dec 2014 (game awards) the game looked nothing like a 2015 release. This was pre alpha.

This is, what Witcher (also an big open world game, also the first true open world game for the developer) looked 1 year pre release: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeGGZON5gjE

And they needed 1 full year to finish that (even got released a little bit broken).

Compare it do what Zelda should looked one year pre release: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HF9xDrQ9gKQ


There was not a single chance zelda wii u would be released 2015 at all. And i highly doubt Nintendo has the ressources to get zelda wii u finished till late 2016 + doing the port. Nintendos EADs teams are not really big.

 

btw: If Zelda Wii U is really on NX there will be high chances to zelda nx will be on the nx sucessor as well. Especially if it will work on the nx now, they will keep this tactics. Even if the NX is an success (wii was an succes as well, skyward sword sold bad anyway) Next zelda will probl take 5-6 years, thats the time the nx sucessor will be around. 

So i really HOPE its not on nx, because if they port zelda wii u to nx I wont get this system.

I made a specific thread about this, scince this one is not made for discussions like this.

@bold. It is hard to take someone seriously when they say that a game that sold over 4 million copies 'sold bad'. 


Anyways, this is clearly a rumour that has been surfacing for a while. It is a very safe rumour to bet on, because it is likely to happen. At the same time if it didn't happen I would not be surprised. This rumourd port could really go either way.

Thats one of the things I really like about Neogaf.

They can sometimes confirm certain things.... that and NPD numbers.

Seems like 99% of ALL NX threads are about rumors. Can we just give it a rest? There will be ACTUAL info released before you know it.

Nothing surprising. Their silence and lack of footage are not a coincidence.

I somewhat doubt this would happen, but it's not impossible

Sounds like this is more than a rumour now.

A poster named "Trev" on NeoGaf, who has leaked things from Nintendo before, leaked a 3DS release list for North America, and in that he also leaked that Zelda is going to release on the NX and the NX will launch this year (likely the console).

His 3DS release list had Disney Art Academy on it, something we didn't know about, but today, Disney Art Academy (published by Nintendo) was confirmed ... so it sounds like this Trev has legit sources.
