From the OP:

"/---/ We've heard the console's new Mario will be ready in time to fill this role."

Both rumors. Both could be true, either one could be true... Mario would be nice though.

Super Mario Run releasing on Dec rather than AC and FE for Mobile was a sign. They want to repeat the Pokemon Go effect.

As long as they don't release it first on Wii U they might as well take their time until 2018.

So you want them to keep punishing Wii U owners. The ones that stuck with them during the 8th gen.

Yes. Especially those who think this would actually be Nintendo *punishing* them. Check yourself, dude; you sound ridiculous.

This is Nintendo's first open world game, I'd imagine they wouldn't want to skimp on the quality of it. I'll wait... I guess.

That is actually wrong.First because many open world games were already made by Nintendo.People miss use that term alot.And even if you mean modern open worlds, Like GTA V or the Witcher III, that title would go to XCX, not Zelda.The delays are just because the game is massive, not because its an open world.It sucks, but that is what it is.

My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Just like those millions who bought Wii U or 3D World?

Zelda was a better game to launch with as Wii already proved.

You also got Mario 64 launching with the N64 and that sold like gangbusters during its launch year. Unfortunately the lack of further titles, especially those from third party, did the console in.

TP had the luxury to be released with Wii Sports, which was the ultimate killer app for the Wii, regardless of what impact TP had at launch.

And you're also comparing 2D Mario (which ultimately got criticized for being too similar to the other NSMB games) and 3D World (to which some here claim isn't a "true" 3D Mario which is kinda weird) to potentially the "true" 3D Mario game akin to Galaxy, Sunshine, and 64. Of course we dont know everything about it but you can't dismiss a 3D Mario game especially as a launch game.

Like I said in the other thread, Mario does not have the same impact on launch as Zelda. Mario is an evergreen title and people can wait. This does not apply to Zelda. Even if the game sells only a half, more Zelda fans are willing to buy new hardware than 3D Mario fans.

Okay, first open world HD Zelda. A game being massive and open world are very similar and relatable in definition. Open world games are usually massive by default...
