Does anyone actually believe NX will come out in March?
March 31st. The very last possible day in the month.
Does anyone actually believe NX will come out in March?
- People that already have a Wii U will only pay $60 to play the game.
- People that don't have a Wii U probably will go to the Wii U version too. Wii U (a used one) + Zelda $260
- Going for the NX + Zelda version will cost $470.
Not if the NX Console is affordable.Are you sure about that? Because I can most definitely see people going on about how it's underpowered compared to the PS4/X1 revised hardware. Hell, even if those weren't getting revised hardware and it was in the PS4/X1 ballpark, we'd still look at it as a console that came out 3 years after those and not much more, if more powerful at all.
As far as third party support, that's a whole 'nother thing. I'm strictly talking pricing vs. specs.

I couldn't, lol
I don't think Wii U owners should be treated with some high respect just because the console was a failure. There were plenty of good games (if you're a fan of Nintendo's IP's) and Zelda is still coming out. It's possible that Zelda would have been out sooner if it weren't being (presumably) aligned for the NX launch, but Zelda games usually take a while to get out. A 2-3 year wait for a Zelda game after the initial announcement is not uncommon.
If the Wii U were more successful this would be a different narrative, and that is on Nintendo. However, I don't believe in the "poor Wii U owners..." philosophy.
Where did I say Wii U owners deserve high respect because the console was a failure? Where did I even say that I was not happy with the Wii U. So why are you telling me how many good games came out for it? That is quite a feat of putting words in someone's mouth.

Given that march is the majority of a year away, I do.Does anyone actually believe NX will come out in March?
It kind of makes sense that they're treating this Zelda as mainly an NX title now, since Skyward Sword didn't do that well as a late-life Wii game and TP did fantastic as a system launch game.
But they delayed it, what are you gonna do, right? It's perfectly understandable though that people think it will be a NX launch title, so that's why it's so odd that they just said 2017. My hope is that they announce it as a March game during E3, but no expectations here.
Quoted for truth.I must have missed the memo that went over how the NX was delayed. Isn't March 2017 the first release date that we have officially gotten? Even if they had internally intended for it to be out this November or whatever, they never made any public announcement that it would be.
the clever thing to do is to cancel wiiU's zelda and only have it on NX.
Your post seemed to imply that Nintendo should do "something" for Wii U owners because of the Zelda delays. It just gave me that same sense of "we should be entitled!" that I see often. If you meant something else, my apologies.
That'd be the dumbest thing to do at this point in time.the clever thing to do is to cancel wiiU's zelda and only have it on NX.
It's not unprecedented for nintendo to "do something" either. The ambassador program was an example where they threw early adopters a bone after suddenly slashing the 3DS price. Clearly they weren't obligated but it doesn't hurt to make your customers feel a little better.
It was never said it's March 2017.
The website dudes put this up because of whatever reason.
I wouldn't read much into it, but Internet needs it's dose of drama.
Apparently the press website stated march 2017 and then they just switched it to 2017? I didn't actually see it so I don't know.
Yes, because it's probably managed by some NoA-dude(s) (or a 3rd Party) and there has been some misunderstandings.Apparently the press website stated march 2017 and then they just switched it to 2017? I didn't actually see it so I don't know.
It's better people realize this now than have a real drama bomb when they reveal the actual date.It was never said it's March 2017.

Don't get why Nintendo is repeating Twilight Princess strategy again making the new Zelda a launch title for the NX. It's a bad one.
- People that already have a Wii U will only pay $60 to play the game.
- People that doesn't have a Wii U probably will go to the Wii U version too. Wii U (a used one) + Zelda $260
- Going for the NX + Zelda version will cost $470.
Because it's one good reason to get the NX...especially if you skipped Wii U.
So Zelda is the new Mighty No. 9.
I wouldn't be surprised if they just dropped it from the WiiU completely but kept the same last gen graphics for the NX.
This game is officially off my radar until something significant is shown and solid release date info (date and day) is announced.
Ok guys im confused. Are you saying that Zelda was never given a march date, or that the NX never got a march date? Someone misreported?

Yes but the truth still is that the game could not be a launch game and they are going to e3 with just one game that could come after tele months later or more
When was the last Nintendo home console not to receive an exclusive Zelda game? Recieved wisdom, and what's come before are not always a good indicator of what Nintendo will do.

Given that march is the majority of a year away, I do.
I'll change my mind if we've got nothing by august.
You won't see anything about the NX by August. Kimishima said they will talk about the NX late in the year, so October, November are the safe bets.

LolHell, at this rate I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo went bankrupt and had to Kickstart the rest of development for the Ouya.
The NES. Zelda 1 & 2 were released exclusively on the FDS first.
I wonder if all the Zelda delays are a reaction to the post-witcher 3 world. That game shook up the open world sphere so much that maybe Aonuma realized you can't just make some generico open world with generic "collect as many scattered about skulltulas", "collect as many scattered about poes", "cut grass, break post, open chests to collect rupees" sidequest-ettes anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if the game will have gone through a massive overhaul between early-ish 2015 and late 2017.
(not saying every game should be like the Witcher 3, just that the Witcher 3 has immense scope, detail and care put into it and has objectively set a new benchmark when it comes to open world games. It wouldn't surprise me if devs think some open world design crutches wont fly with gamers anymore and maybe Aonuma is making some heavy adjustments to the game)
Honestly March is way too awkward a time period, I mean sure it's the best after winter, but a march release pretty much guarantee's low momentum for console unless it's a lightning in a bottle which is unlikely. They're better off releasing in winter again using E3 2017 to hype the console and consolidate all launch and post release titles.
Calling it now, Zelda wii U will be cancelled and will only release for NX and not even at launch
Yeah. Have a feeling NX is going to get pushed to Fall/Holiday 2017.Knowing Nintendo, NX probably won't make the March release date...
So they're highlighting the Wii U version as their only playable game at E3 only to cancel that version of the game they've said is a Wii U game over and over???Calling it now, Zelda wii U will be cancelled and will only release for NX and not even at launch
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.

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