Is gonna be painful to see you out for a month because of me, but it has to be done. May the right man win.

Hey, if you do win, you'll be the one to finally break my perfect record.

This is my 7th bet on VGChartz and so far my win record is 6/6.

Great then. Mine is gonna be 3/3 soon ;P

I was hesitant to bet on this sooner cos I didn't want to risk my winning streak, which I take pride in, but at this stage I have pretty much lost all hope.

If Nintendo couldn't even be bothered supporting Wii U in its final holiday season, I can't see them releasing a new Wii U game after the Switch is out. They want to wash their hands of Wii U for good, and they want to force U owners to get a Switch. Plus, the U version still exhibits some performance dips, which gives them an opportunity to pull the old "technical issues" bullshit.

You were hesitant becuse deep inside you know you have lost.

This alredy has a precedent called Twilight Princess, a console that sold like shit on its dry final season finally got the precious Zelda their fans were waiting for after Wii was on the market. They don't need to do this but otherwise the negative PR would be massive, something they know they don't need, if they were doubting they would have never show the game on WiiU so recently and they wouldn't have insisted so much on the fact that is coming to wiiu everytime they can just becuse the rumours and pessimism on internet. You have never seen Nintendo making such a dishonest movement as you claim they are doing now anyways.

As for the game itself, is already on a playable state, people has played it on wiiu, they say it plays well, there is a lot of work put on this version so at this point is way more profitable for them to release it even at 25fps (like so many open world games or even the recent and linear The Last Guardian) than to cancell it, that would only be a loss of money and credibility.

If I thought I was going to lose, I wouldn't have taken the bet.

I agree that it would cause massive negative PR if they cancelled it, and that its performance is not a good reason to cancel it. I maintain that cancelling it would be a terrible decision.

But Nintendo has made terrible decisions before. The last 5 years have been full of them. After so many kicks in the balls, I have no reason to trust Nintendo any more. I think they'll be so keen to sweep Wii U under the rug and push their new system that they'll use Zelda as leverage, and use the game's performance dips on Wii U as an excuse.

Do you think Breath of the Wild will release on Wii U?

If you're referring to me, i'm only backing out because I don't stand firmly on one side like others that it will or won't release, i'm pretty 50/50 on it at this point because while I highly doubt Nintendo would do this at the same time I could easily see them doing it as well, so it seems pointless for me to make a bet on something when i'm not firmly on one side of it so there's nothing for me to really bet on. 

I normally wouldn't back out but in this case it seems pointless to take the bet.

Gotta love how you leave this small comment at the end to cover your back juuuuust in case WiiU's version end up cancelled.

Well, they were keeping Switch a secret at the time, so the Wii U version had to do.

And Nintendo is usually a stickler for rock solid framerates, yet the U version noticeably drops at every showing we've seen. Not to an unplayable degree, but I can see them declaring its performance unacceptable.
