Nintendo press site changed march 2017 to only 2017.
:/

 

[takriel]

Jesus Christ. Don't fuck with me, Nintendo.

 

[Betty]

Well sure, I mean I doubt the NX is even coming out in March no matter what Nintendo says now.

 

[Kralamoonard]

lol

 

[BakkaGames]

They never said March 2017 iirc, only 2017.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I guess they maybe want to push NX.

 

[texhnolyze]

Why? Isn't it supposed to be one of NX launch titles which is coming in March?

 

[Dance Inferno]

Could be nothing. I wouldn't read too much into it.

 

[Principate]

Probably come after the NX version like TP did.

 

[kromeo]

Did they ever actually say it was a launch title for the NX or did people just assume?

 

[FelipeMGM]

It was never mentioned a month, only 2017

 

[entremet]

Wasn't it Twilight Princess'ed anyway?

 

[Hoo-doo]

I doubt NX is hitting march either way so it would make sense that the Wii-U release of the NX's flagship launch title would also be delayed.

 

[Eolz]

I think it's just that they never announced a date and prefer it to be that way.
It'll probably be march.

 

[Aostia]

Well sure, I mean I doubt the NX is even coming out in March no matter what Nintendo says now.

This. Dont trust them never again. Never.

 

[Justice_Bolt]

I think they never said it will release in March.

 

[ASIS]

Maybe it was a mistranslation and they meant the NX will be revealed in March 2017 and released later that year.


It's Nintendo, you never know.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

3D Mario(which I assume has been done for a minute) is the launch game, Zelda NX is the Fall title

p l e a s e u n d e r s t a n d

 

[Mediking]

Fall 2017, c'mon you know this.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

 

[Zombegoast]

Now pushed to fall release with the Wii U version delayed by a month.

Can you believe that it's been almost 10 years since Twilight Princess released?

 

[Rösti]

Here's a larger image, just for reference:

Note that Golin handles much of this press site, so the mention of March 2017 was likely a miscommunication between Golin and Nintendo.

 

[MatthewB92]

They never said March 2017 iirc, only 2017.

It was never mentioned a month, only 2017

NoAs website said March at one point.

 

[TunaLover]

They never said March 2017 iirc, only 2017.

The same press site previously had march 2017, maybe they caught the error later.

 

[GarciaHotspur]

NX delayed

 

[family_guy]

Twilight Princess all over again.

 

[mp1990]

They never said March 2017 iirc, only 2017.

They did, though.

But yeah, you're probably just looking too much into it.

 

[dcelw540]

 

[openrob]

They never said March 2017 iirc, only 2017.

Yeah I think so

 

[Principate]

Now pushed to fall release with the Wii U version delayed by a month.

Can you believe that it's been almost 10 years since Twilight Princess released?

Yes quite easily.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

I think your reading into it too much. And did they say March when it was delayed? Or just NX?

 

[Dark Cloud]

I hope this is true. The Wii U version shouldn't release the same time as the NX version. They made sure the GameCube version of Twilight Princess came after the Wii version and I expect the same to happen here with Zelda U.

 

[Solrac]

nx at e3 2017, NX WW release november 2017 + zelda

 

[Modest Mauser]

I hope this is true. The Wii U version shouldn't release the same time as the NX version. They made sure the GameCube version of Twilight Princess came after the Wii version and I expect the same to happen here with Zelda U.

And whyever not?

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

But I thought Wii U is already dead!

NX got pushed, so this got pushed too bruh.

 

[TheMoon]

You need to start learning not to take everything at face value ignoring all context, prior knowledge, and basic logic.

 

[Dark Cloud]

And whyever not?

I'm just saying if their goal is to do an exact TP then it wouldn't be surprising the Wii U version releases like a month after the NX version.

 

[Kouriozan]

Yeah, they never said March at the investor briefing, just that they're making it alongside the NX version.

 

[TunaLover]

I hope this is true. The Wii U version shouldn't release the same time as the NX version. They made sure the GameCube version of Twilight Princess came after the Wii version and I expect the same to happen here with Zelda U.

Rumors say both versions will release at the same time

 

[ViewtifulJC]

You need to start learning not to take everything at a face value literal level ignoring all context, prior knowledge, and basic logic.

prior knowledge, context and basic logic is to not believe any Zelda release date until the game is in your damn hands

 

[woxel1]

Oh so it can still be a

Spoiler

2017

holiday release after all!

 

[GarciaHotspur]

The game will comes in 2018

 

[Lord_Byron28]

This. Dont trust them never again. Never.

I believe the only promise Nintendo ever publicly made about the NX was that it was releasing this fiscal year which goes all the way up until March 2017. Zelda Wii U on the other hand......lol

 

[Jafku]

IIRC They only specified that it was coming in 2017, not that it would be an NX launch title

 

[sixteen-bit]

They never said March 2017 iirc, only 2017.

exactly.

 

[Crayolan]

I hope this is true. The Wii U version shouldn't release the same time as the NX version. They made sure the GameCube version of Twilight Princess came after the Wii version and I expect the same to happen here with Zelda U.

Why tho

If it's coming out on both consoles anyway the only people Zelda U will sell consoles to are people without a Wii U. No Wii U owner is going to buy a NX because of Zelda, if they're getting one at launch they were always gonna get it regardless.

Delaying the Wii U version does nothing but piss off current Wii U owners.

 

[Kinsei]

IIRC They only specified that it was coming in 2017, not that it would be an NX launch title

The press site previously listed it as March 2017 and now it doesn't.

 

[HUELEN10]

Jesus wept...

 

[Holy Order Sol]

This. Dont trust them never again. Never.

lol

I'll take official word even if they end up coming back on it over speculation based on "lol they're lying all the time" anytime.

These things work on an until further notice basis period.

 

[SJRB]

Well if they want to use Zelda to push the NX, it makes sense to delay the Wii U version, right?

Tasteless for sure, among other things, but it makes sense.
