Nope

Probably not. I think Nintendo will only do a small print run for the game possibly only in North America on top of that. Japan didn't get a physical release of Twilight Princess GCN at all for example.

They want people to have to buy an NX for this.

japan did get a physical release of the GCN version, i think you had to order it from Nintendo and i remember them talking about something like 50k printed or something back then but i can't remember exactly.

Doubt it, Nintendo enthusiasts will opt for the superior NX version.

The WiiU version alone? Nope. Both WiiU and NX versions combined? Easily.

Zelda on Wii U alone? Probably won't pass SS, but both Wii U and NX, I think will likely happen.

No way, Twilight Princess on Wii reduced sales of the GameCube version dramatically. I think it'll sell over a million, maybe over 2 due to people being desperate for an original Zelda on Wii U, but that's about it.

NX version will do it no problem...the WiiU version only exists for hard headed people that don't want to accept that the NX version is a thing.

Or maybe the people who own a Wii U and have been waiting for years for this game, and don't want to upgrade to a new system just to play the same game they can get for much cheaper? Maybe they don't even have money for the new console?

Nah, probably just hard headed extremists.

As with most cases, there are exceptions.  That does not change the fact that most poeple complaining about the NX version are the ones bent out of shape about WiiU not having an exclusive Zelda game, especially if that is why they even got a WiiU in the first place.  The very fact that they are upset reflects this because if money were the issue, they would just be happy that they are still getting a WiiU version at all.
