Zelda Wii U delayed till 2016

On 03/27/2015 at 06:22 PM by Captain N

Yeah as the video implies, the game has been delayed till 2016. I'll admit that I'm disappointed since it was the game I was looking forward to the most. But I guess it was bound to happen. Some people mentioned that maybe development has moved to the NX, Nintendo's new console. That would be something if it were the case.

I am bummed about the news but extra development time wouldn't hurt. I just hope that it really wasn't delayed for the NX because I'm not ready to upgrade just yet.

So what are your thoughts on the delay? Thanks for reading and later.

yeah i saw this on your twitter. I'm not surprised. I don't think it's going to be moved to the new console, but there might be a like Twilight Princess thing where it's on both. I dunno.

I'm disappointed, but not shocked.

Honestly, i'm not surprised since making a 3D Zelda is though, especially on a single-year span.

Wait, did they just announced the succesor to the Wii U? Is it a rumour? Tell me more please.

No, it's confirmed with the codename NX. We'll get info in 2016

I just hope they have some good big game this holiday season.

Well ... makes not buying a Wii U this year a hell of a lot easier.

I hope it does come to NX, especially if it's more portable as some speculate NX will be. I'd like a bit more processing power behind this open world experience anyway. Or it might just be delayed on WiiU, whatever.

I'm okay with this. Bloodborne, Batman: Arkham Knight, MGSV, and Xenoblade X are all coming out this year. That's four massive must play games, I don't have much time for another one. And if rumors of Fallout 4 coming in fall are true, I'll be really glad it's in 2016.

As long as it gets done right, Xenoblade will probably take up much of our time anyway (and Batman)

I don't mind delays. Gives me more time to save money.

Like the Uncharted 4 delay, this one didnt surprise me all that much.

Sounds like deja vu. I won't be a bit surprised when they announce it for NX. Sure they'll probably release a less impressive version for Wii U so Wii U owners don't go apeshit, but we know which version will be the one to get. Nintendo is famous for stuff like this, the most obvious example being Twilight Princess. As a Wii U owner with about 3 games, I can't say I'm not pissed (not even a Zelda fan, I just want something interesting to justify my purchase). Even if it's just a delay and there's no ulterior motive, it still means Xenoblade is the only Wii U game I'm remotely interested in this year. Last year it was Bayonetta. One game a year does not make me a happy consumer.
