I would dearly love to be wrong about this, but I still expect both Yooka Laylee and Zelda to be canned for Wii U and shunted to NX. If I'm wrong, you can make an "I told you so" thread mocking my pessimism, and I'll take it like a man and admit my poor judgement. |
I dont think it will be canned. Many backers want the WiiU version. It will probably be on both.

A lot of backers of 90s Arcade Racer wanted the Wii U version too. And if they bump it to NX they can claim they are still serving Nintendo gamers.

Yeah, I know, they're doing a song and dance about how its definitely coming to Wii U and how good that version will be, but we've heard that before...

I don't think so. Since they're using the Unity engine, porting of the game won't be very hard.

If the Wii U is the lead platform, like the team is saying, then you have your answer already. There'd be zero downside to releasing it on Wii U then, since it'd be done first and probably best there, with there probably being an NX launch port as well.
The only game where Wii U was the lead platform that may not come out for sure is Zelda, and frankly I'm not even sure how long Zelda U was actually a mainly Wii U game at this point. Comparing this to other small third party games doesn't exactly work since in many of the examples you listed the Wii U version was a late port.
You should check out my YouTube channel, The Golden Bolt! I review all types of video games, both classic and modern, and I also give short flyover reviews of the free games each month on PlayStation Plus to tell you if they're worth downloading. After all, the games may be free, but your time is valuable!

90s Arcade Racer also used Unity.

They could well finish the parallel-developed PC version ahead of the Wii U version. Hell, if the Wii U version runs into problems, (As tends to happen with Unity games on the platform, the engine often doesn't play well with the Wii U's hardware) the PS4 and Xbone versions could be finished first as well. At that point it might be easier to just do a quick port to NX rather than take the time to sort out the Wii U version.
They'd be colossal douchebags for doing that after promising Wii U owners they'd get the game, but third party developers behaving like douchebags is not an unheard of concept
| jnk4 said: im curios if it will really come to wii u or if they will cancel that version and made an nx version. Wii U version could be hard to make (alot less power then competition, only power pc based device) ill get it for my ps4 anyways, will have better graphics/resolution/framerate then on my wii u |
jnk4 said:
if release is q2 2017 or later i think they will release on nx instead of wii u. Look at Project cars. Maybe, just maybe they will release on wii u AND nx, but i doubt it wont come to nx if the game released after nx came out. |
It will be on Wii U and on NX too.

They basically said Wii U version is lead version of game, if they really want to canned Wii U version now would be best time to announce that, an actual confirmed Wii U version and said that is basically lead version of game.
Reagrdles Wii U verion, I am pretty sure they will port game for NX also.

IMO Zelda is basicly done at this point and only reason why is delayed is NX version. Do you relly think they will canned version of game that is basicly already done and that will sell at least 1m (not to mention that on E3 now they will show exactly the same version)!?
That doenst make any sense, they didnt canned TP for GC also.
Game look great, looks like direct sequel to Banjo Kazooie 64. :)

Wii U isn't the lead platform. They are developing it internally on PC and porting it internally to Wii U. PC is the lead platform.
And yes, I think they will can Zelda for Wii U, because I think they will be so desperate to force people to upgrade to NX that they will use it as leverage.

We naturally have so many backers who opted for Wii U. Because of the size of the team, we couldn’t take on all the consoles. You can imagine from a developer stand-point, that porting from PC to PS4 and Xbox One is slightly more straightforward than porting to Wii U.
“I also think it feels right playing it on a Nintendo system to some people.
“But the other versions will be fantastic as well.”
Technical art director Mark Stevenson added: “We wanted to make sure that Wii U gets the right attention. There is a lot of nostalgia around Banjo, Banjo heralds from Rare’s Nintendo’s days, and we are all massive Nintendo fans as well.”
He basically say Wii U version will be of one best versions, there is nothing from all this that you make just assume that they will canne Wii U version.
Just to be clear, they announced Wii U version of game in january 2013, they showed several times Wii U version, every time they talked about game they mentioned Wii U, at E3 Wii U version of Zelda will be only version of game, Wii U version of game is basically done, we already had basically same situation with TP and TP GC version wasn't canned, and you still think they will canned Wii U version!?
Wow, you really gives totally new meaning to pessimism.
