TP HD would be great and would definitely be enough to fill the Zelda void on the Wii U, especially if they implement great gyro controls and touch up the blurry textures. The game had some of the best gameplay/dungeon design in the series, it's just tough to go back to it because it's a muddy mess due to it being trapped in the weird not quite HD or SD area of the Wii.

Coming out soon? We're getting a new system next year. This was not, NOT, a direct. If you were looking at an investors (!) meeting to give a reason to revitalize the Wii U in late 2015 you've deluded your own self sir. And yeah you should get a PS4.Oh well, I guess it's time for me to buy a PS4. Other than Xenoblade Chronicles there's pretty much nothing coming out soon on Wii U.

Joke post? Were you really expecting anything in here that'd make you change your mind?
Probably both, likely console games in general.

And unfortunately kids don't really seem to care about those IP's. So who do you market your hardware and IP's too?

I am inclined to agree but I won't 100% cross off a cross gen port yet
March 2017 is why..

All of this is good and makes me happy that this is finally happening.
The five game thing was revealed a long time ago.

There are battles they have at least a slim chance of winning, and there are battles that are clearly unwinnable.
I mean, maybe if they had started investing massively several years ago in third-party moneyhats and first-party development aimed at that demographic, but it's just too late now.
Wait what? The nx isnt coming out next year.
Games with the most downloads.
Super Smash Bros, for WiiU
Mario Mart 8
Super Smash Bros. Nintendo 3DS
Pokemon Rumble World
Can't read the last one.
This does not include download codes with bundles, just what was purchased directly through the eshop, it does however include DLC sales which is why those WiiU games are so high up (so says the Nintendo slides)
Rather than most downloads I think it's most revenue.
Sorry, I didn't mean it negatively but I realized it could have come off that way. Thanks for understanding what I meant, though!

It probably is tbh
The annoyance (not hate I would say) is the very beginning of the game. After that the game is amazing and no one really has complaints I believe about the game after the opening area is cleared. There really is no hate for Twilight Princess. TP actually was what a LOT of people wanted at Wind Waker. They wanted it and enjoyed it regardless of what some try to say today. There is a reason why it sold so much.
2017
Of course it is. The Wii U is not going to last another holiday season past 2015.

It more than likely is.

Exactly. That's why they need to create or farm out new IPs to third parties to appeal to these markets. If they're going to continue to make consoles, they have to adjust their strategies. Part of that is to expand past what they're already doing, because what they're already doing isn't reaching enough people to consistently grow their brand.
If adults don't buy games in Japan, and they want to keep making consoles, then they should be making console games that appeal to people outside of Japan.
I mean, at this point, what do they have to lose by trying? The worst thing that could happen is that it bombs again. Which is most likely what would happen if they just continued operating the way they are now.
A lot of that blurriness and muddiness would be done away with if they went completely with the SS art style. It would look like a completely new game.
That's assuming the render in that slide is representative of TPHD.

That thing is gonna be in my house in 14 months.
Except they said it's still coming to Wii U after that...
That's what Miyamoto was talking about... If it'll work or not it's to be seen.

A port wouldn't surprise me but it's still a Wii U game

It probably is, Nintendo always operates like this, well, at least since the Gamcube. Tease 1-2 years before, unveil 6 months out, release. Seems to be their bag.
No, nothing is confirmed.
If it was coming out in a year we would basically know the spec and stuff and not mention dev just got there kits a few weeks ago .
Isn't that what they've been doing lately?

The last one is StreetPass Mii Plaza, and it seems like it might be talking specifically about the DLC for the first three titles listed there. It's a little unclear.
EDIT: Okay yes, I read Kimishima's explanation that came along with this slide. It's showing the ranking of digital sales after excluding the download versions of retail titles. So when you take out those full retail game download sales, and you're just left with download-only titles and DLC, this is the ranking.
I wonder if Link from TPHD will really look like that render. He looks really Skyward Swordy, not that that's a bad thing, but it'd be a bit strange in contrast with the environment. Really curious to see how it turns out. I'd be really surprised if it were more than just HD + better lighting like WWHD.
That Miyamoto quote on NX hardly sounds related to NX at all. I guess he could be saying NX will get new Amiibo-equivalent merchandise.

Not officially confirmed, but we're getting more hints.
Should be in the Direct this fall.
No details until then.

No we got word that devs got their kits a few weeks ago. The very first devs that got the very first kits didn't leak it far more than likely.
And how would we already have specs? We didn't have firm Wii U specs till shortly before and some even post launch
NX will be on store shelves by Holiday 2016 imo

At least one... They shoul've talked about it within a month of release...
I loved my downloadable Malo skin for that one:
11/10.

A year out for full dev kits is not uncommon. You are also basing the two week number from a news report. For all we know key partners have had info for some time now.
No way in hell Nintendo is going into Holiday 2016 with these two platforms.

Not sure SE would have bothered to talk about Draqon Quest XI for NX if it wasn't coming in 2016.
Well yeah but they also dont really have the IPs that catch onto that 18 to 30 year old male demo either. Metroid I guess being the main one? I've always considered them pretty kid focused. I suppose they should get into making more IPs that appeal to that gamer.
It's always been a cool looking Zelda game, but yeah, that game had serious issues. Hopefully issues that can be rectified with the HD version the same way Wind Waker was improved. But Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess both suffered from very similar issues.
Overlong intro sequence.
Excessive linearity.
Not nearly enough sidequests or characters to interact with in a way to make the world feel big.
Wasted overworld.
Tons of padding.
I question the people calling it the best Zelda game...
Sorry for the shit quality:
Something is up for sure.
I don't know if they're altering the HD version in any significant way, but more than likely, they want a more universally usable style for promotional images like this. Instead of "colourful character, colourful character, heavily rendered gritty character," they have something that blends better.

I was seriously going to post a picture of Malo for that typo, thanks for saving me the time.
5 games by March 2017, I believe
There's tons of annoying shit after the opening, be real here...

Smash selling the most DLC makes sense, but I didn't expect the Wii U version to sell the most. It has a much smaller install base.
