[News] had been scheduled to be released in 2016, but is the Wii U, "The Legend of Zelda: The latest", for further quality improvement, now that I am allowed to delay the release in 2017. Humbly thank you for your understanding. It should be noted that, in the Wii U version and the simultaneous release schedule, we are also developing the NX version.

Interesting! Confirms rumours

 

[ArchedThunder]

So Wii U is probably going to have nothing this Holiday then...

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

FUCK

 

[Zalman]

NX version officially confirmed by Nintendo.

 

[Nirolak]

Yeah, I can't imagine they'd want a star launch title for NX to come out months earlier.

 

[Asd202]

God damn. This will be one bad year for Nintendo...

 

[Rubixcuba]

Wii U has nothing. Nooooothing.

 

[Neoxon]

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Well, at least the NX version is confirmed.

 

[KingBroly]

This is all crazy

 

[hupla]

Twilight princess 2

 

[JeffGrubb]

Is that fiscal 2017? Doesn't that start in April.

 

[Nick]

Not even remotely shocking, tbh.

 

[Shift Breaker]

Skyward Sword HD Incoming

 

[bananafactory]

Why would the NX version affect the WiiU version release date?

 

[Zerojul]

Fuck Fuck Fuck fuckity Fuck.

 

[Rewrite]

TP all over again!

 

[hughesta]

Yeah, I can't imagine they'd want a star launch title for NX to come out months earlier.

Makes perfect sense to push it back.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

I am sad.

 

[Xord]

I'm starting to lose my hype.

 

[AdanVC]

I'm so done with Nintendo. What they will bring to Wii U this holiday then?? Another Animal Crossing shitty spin-off? Another Mario Party? Soo dissapointed.

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Nooooooooo!

 

[HUELEN10]

I can't believe there is an NX version in development. Doesn't this almost guarantee lack of BC?

 

[Champion]

It was pretty much guaranteed once the NX launch was announced for 2017.

 

[sappyday]

Why would the NX version affect the WiiU version release date?

To get more people to buy the NX at launch.

 

[Subhuman Filth]

Goddamn it, I knew 2016 was too good to be true. NX version is all but confirmed.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

Make it pretty, I'll wait

 

[hughesta]

My biggest takeaway from this is that Project Guard is still alive.

 

[NoKisum]

So unless Nintendo has some big surprise for us this E3, does this mean that Paper Mario Color Splash is now their big Holiday 2016 title?

 

[BrokenIcarus]

Personally I find it pretty disappointing, but I can say why they would do that.

 

[Linkstrikesback]

Obviously, we practically knew this was the case already thanks to Trev.

 

[MemoryHumanity]

I can't believe there is an NX version in development. Doesn't this almost guarantee lack of BC?

No? Twilight Princess launched on GameCube and Wii...

 

[OrbitalBeard]

hahahaha

I'm living a nightmare right now!

 

[Lilalaunebaer]

It makes sense, but every year we get closer to Zelda, it gets further away

 

[WarioFan63]

I can't believe there is an NX version in development. Doesn't this almost guarantee lack of BC?

Twilight Princess dual release didnt affect Wii BC with GC

 

[Rymuth]

Zelda Wii U always seemed like a pipe dream, to me.

 

[mishakoz]

Man I do not want to be a Nintendo stock holder tomorrow.

 

[GasProblem]

My poor Wii U

 

[Jb]

Disappointing if not unexpected

 

[Varg]

Time to sell my wii u. Had a good run with it. Safe to sell now that nothing is on the table for this year.

 

[preta]

I can't believe there is an NX version in development. Doesn't this almost guarantee lack of BC?

Well, Twilight Princess was the same way and the Wii was backwards compatible, so no.

 

[Ushojax]

Why would the NX version affect the WiiU version release date?

Same reason it did with Twilight Princess. Zelda is Nintendo's biggest hitter in terms of prestige, they aren't going to let it hit a dead console before their new one.

[Anth0ny]

shocking news

the fact that nx and zelda is march 2017 is still blowing my mind

nintendo is fucked

 

[roytheone]

Man, with this news, is the wiiU in 2016 one of the weakest line ups for a main platform ever? Or do they have more games to reveal?

 

[Luigiv]

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

Okay, so, the only thing I'm really dissapointed about is the fact that it's been delayed to 2017.

BUT the last Zelda game that saw delay after delay after delay was OoT and that was a masterpiece, so this is actually more of a good omen to me.

Will definitely get both Wii U and NX versions, as I did with Twilight Princess. Would be awesome if it had a huge Limited Edition ala Dark Souls 2. Would definitely buy that.

 

[CO_Andy]

It's like 97 all over again with Zelda pushed back and Star Fox being the only big Nintendy release that year.

 

[Ushojax]

Man, with this news, is the wiiU in 2016 one of the weakest line ups for a main platform ever? Or do they have more games to reveal?

They stopped allocating major internal resources to the Wii U 2 years ago, there won't be any major titles we don't already know about.
