Legend of Zelda- Twilight Princess HD (Wii U)

I'd bet my money on it not appearing until NX.

Are you saying it'll be a Wii U/NX release or do you think the Wii U version isn't going to happen?

[Some Stupid Japanese Name]

The wii u (from a marketing standpoint) is dead and over. Releasing Zelda will do them 0 good. Releasing it for the next thing will guarantee millions of nintendo fans (prolly grudgingly, but still) buy the new system day one.

If they don't release it, it will piss a lot of people off. Seriously that is some Sega shit. They're better than that.

[Some Stupid Japanese Name]

They do shit every quarter that pisses a bunch of their fans off. But the fans keep coming back.

[Diff-chan]

Is the fact that their current console sold maybe 10% of their last one evidence of this?

[Some Stupid Japanese Name]

It's evidence that 90% of the last console's sales were a fluke tied to a bowling simulator's attractiveness to people that wouldnt buy Zelda anyway.

Nintendo needs all their fans on board. Pissing them off and selling them a console without releasing a Zelda is a huge mistake. I don't think they're that dumb to do it, unless Bernie Stolar is working there now.

Two remakes and a dynasty warriors mash up will exist on wii u. That's not exactly no Zelda releases. All I'm saying is, I wouldnt be surprised if they held it back. The Wii U has delivered every other franchise and it hasnt helped it much. How more pissed will people be that they have to buy an exiting system to play Zelda when a new system is about to be released. There is plenty to keep any existing wii u owners happy as far as nintendo releases go. I dont see the point in delivering a huge game on a system that is about to be abandoned. (Unless of course they do the "it's been two years, here's a remaster" route that's proven popular this gen.)

But that's acting like Nintendo fans wouldn't buy the next thing, Zelda or not.

Honestly, although I play each one in the series, I feel more like an outlier Zelda fan. I love the NES ones most from a gameplay perspective, can't give a single shit about timelines, and think the series' most fervent fanbase at the moment are kids who probably started with Puzzelda (Ocarina), think that's what the series is about, and really dig Kingdom Hearts...as much or moreso than Zelda...

Edit: Also, I kind of expected more from you guys. The only reason the NX was 'revealed' was stock holders were freaking the fuck out. They thought Nintendo's deal with DeNA meant they were done making consoles. So they say, "no guys, there's a console we're totally working on this very moment...but we're like 0% ready to say anything about it." The whole internet exploded with the disinformation that, "Nintendo announced a new system! Out in 2016! The Wii U is a dead console now (deader even, LOL)!!!" The only thing we know f'reals is 1) Nintendo said at e3 they would begin to talk about it next e3 and 2) devs are JUST getting SDKs, meaning what? You expect the launch titles to be ready to ship in about 12 months or less? I expected better critical thinking here...

I feel like it's way too early to release the NX in relation to the Wii U, in a 32X-to-Saturn kind of way.
