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...

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).

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.

Actually, the Wii U was sold at a loss in the beginning and for a long time.

You don't need a 300% margin to sell hardware at a profit. At least try to be somewhat reasonable. If Nintendo made an average of only $10 per hardware sale, then that's still a gain compared to not making their own hardware and putting their games on someone else's machine (let's say they sell 50m units, that's $500m profit). Then they'll get $10 more per game because they don't have to pay Sony or Microsoft a royalty fee (let's say they sell 200m of their own software, that's $2 billion of additional profit compared to being a third party). They'll also get $10 for every third party game that is sold on their system (at 100m units, that's another $1 billion). Lastly, let's say that every owner of the 50m systems buys on average one additional controller which has a profit margin of $10; another $500m of profit. So Nintendo as a modestly successful console manufacturer can bring in $4 billion more in profit than a third party Nintendo that sells 200m copies of their games. This example uses rough numbers for a timespan of five years to show why there is merit to being a console manufacturer.

Of course, if Nintendo does stupid things like with the 3DS and Wii U where both systems were sold at a loss for a good portion of their lifetime, then profits take a massive hit. If you make billions of losses on hardware sales instead of a profit, then you won't have much to show in the end. That's why most video game publishers choose to be third parties. Being a console manufacturer has the potential of more profits, but there is also a high risk involved that you fail.

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

I don't give a shit about NX, or Zelda going to NX.

I just want to play a brand new Zelda game for Wii U, like we were promised.
