Shouldn't consideration for Nintendo's situation also be a factor in this though?
As a WiiU owner, don't you want Nintendo to succeed as much as possible to enable more great games in the future?
They've lost most of the third party support they had with WiiU, and no matter how many they realistically get on board for the NX launch, it will mostly be up to Nintendo themselves to come out with a great launch lineup this time around. And Zelda would really help with that.

Well I would prefer them releasing a brand new zelda game when NX launches 2017/2018. 

They would have need to start with a new team (they really need more developer teams anyway) some years ago though.

A Zelda Wii U Port wont help much anyway. Zelda is not AS popular, especially not a cartoony looking one. Skyward Sword and Windwaker both didnt do that well, I dont see people buying NX just for Zelda (if its also available on wii u!)

Didn't do that while!? WW sold 4.6m on instal base of 22m, that's attach rate of around 20% attach rate! In what universe is that "didn't do that well"!? Thats much higher attach rate than TP on Wii, not to mention TP on GC. Skyward Sword would definitely had better sales if did not come when Wii was dead and if didn't required addon or different controller.

They can reuse the zelda wii u engine or a modified version of it to cut down on development time for the next zelda. we could see the next 3d zelda (after zelda wii u) in 2019 if they are already brainstorming right now.

if the NX is on Ps4 power level that wont make sense. Several PS4 releases already prooved that you need new next gen engines to push those consoles to the limits. 

isn't uncharted 4 using the same engine as uncharted 3? and uncharted 4 looks amazing.

Hardware production costs aren't an issue when you don't sell the hardware at a loss. In such a case you are making additional profit. If you make your own hardware, you don't have to pay royalties to someone else. If you make your own hardware, you can collect royalties from other developers. If you make your own hardware, you can sell accessories for it.

Bottom line: You can make much higher profits from gaming when you make your own hardware.

Its not just the hardware production cost.

Selling hardware at a proft is wii u situaiton. Nobody will buy it because overprieced.

If NX is as powerfull as Ps4, nintendo probl need to sell it at 500-600 bucks.

Its not just the hardware costs (which would probl be around 300 bucks). But also warranty, services, development, advertisment, licensing, online architecure.

If they still wanna make a profit, they need to charge high prices = automatic failure.

 

Thats why iPhones get sold for 600+ dollars and the production cost is just 150. Thats how to make profit with hardware sales. Nintendo wont be able to do this. if you think they could, please explain how.

PS4 was selling 2015. holiday season for $299 and Sony made profit with that price.Saying that if Nintendo will release stronger hardware in 2016. than PS4, that hardware would cost $500-600 is pure nonsense. Nintendo can easily release hardware in 2016. that is stronger than PS4 with price point of $300.

Nintendo always sold their hardware with profit, Wii U is first console on which Nintendo didn't had profit on launch and also has higher price than competitor (Nintndo itself said Wii U had higher price than they wanted). I relly dont see NX have price point above $300.

I am not buying the WiiU, but might buy the NX if nintendo does the hardware right for a change.
So I am hoping for NX port.

If your just buying for the hardware power get an ps4 or gaming pc.

If your buying for the Nintendo games, a wii u is alright, Games like Mario kart 8 are looking amazing.

This is exactly what I talking about, some people dont want Wii U despite good games because its dead platform with no future, but they would buy next Nintendo console especially if it have great launch titles.

don't you think they would have delayed Zelda U into 2016 anyway

Thats exactly what im thinking, The game didnt looked like a 2015 game in the game awards footage back in dec. 2014. Thats why I also doubt they dont have enough time/ressources to handle 2 version (PowerPC based Wii U Version and X86 based NX Version) for an 2016 release. All their ressources probl need to put into the wii u version to get that one finished in 2016.

One year is more than enuf time for a port, that is a fact.

I agree with everything Rol has been saying whilst I been sleeping haha.

Now to add what is this weak argument about it being too difficult?

Not too difficult. Will take to many time. Nintendo didnt even managed to give the wii u good software support in the past 3,5 years. And now they should waste time and port a game that nobody needs (because it will be on wii u anyway).

Guess what, they done same thing with TP and Wii TP port become huge success in every way.

If it comes out on the NX is a clear sign the support for the Wii U is coming to an end. That which is secondary behind the fact that the NX is coming out. I dont even know why people defend Nintendo these days.

Then pray to god that it is not as difficult, because if Nintendo had to choose I can guarantee you that the Wii U version is not the one as priority number 1.

You act surprised as if this hasn't been the norm with the franchise all the gen.

I think the wii u version is priority number 1. We dont even know about an NX version. Its just possible. So saying wii u version is not number 1 when its maybe the only version is ridicoules.

 

And YES. Wind Waker HD was time wasting as well (cost 6 month). But at least they improved the game alot visually and also some of the gameplay. Zelda Wii U would most likely be a straight port if it gets ported to NX.

WW HD waste of time!? You really don't know nothing, they decided to make WW HD after experimenting with visuals for Zelda U, they also said they used WW HD project like test ground project for Zelda U and all thing they learned they will use in Zelda U. Also they made WW HD in 6 months and game currently has sold 1.7m, so they made profit on that project and in same time was very helpful for Zelda team, no to mentone we got game when Wii U had huge software drouth.

So WW HD wasnt waste of time in any case.

Do you seriously believe that they are going to let it die on Wii U weeks/days after/before a new console?

Yes, he seriously believes that.
