I can't fault Nintendo for waiting until next year to launch the NX. First and foremost there is no momentum for the Wii U to speak of. So it's not like them outright letting their console product enter a coma will do much. They also have no idea what the PS4K and the Xbox1.5 will be like. On top of that they don't want their competitors releasing a Mii-Too type add-on soon after the NX's launch. I can see the advatnages of them pushing release by three months.

Its kind of comical....they've been talking about new Zelda (I refuse to call it zelda wii u....it barely even qualifies as a wii u game anymore) let's call it Zelda HD, as well as the NX, for YEARS. And neither one is coming out this year. Hahahahaha.

We promise....Zelda HD is coming out in 2015!!! And by that we mean one of the old Gamecube titles.

I'm sure its going to be a great game, but this is ridiculous. They better hope NX is the absolute SHIT of proportions not seen since Mario 64 when it comes out, because Nintendo is losing hearts and minds with SEGA like speed.

Someone from Nintendo needs to drive over to Capcom's office, get on their knees, and start sucking on some big-time exec's dick over there and start begging for a Monster Hunter port for the Wii U. This wouldn't really solve any of their problems, but it would make me happy.

It's pretty fucking awful. Last E3 was a shitpile. Now no NX at e3 and no zelda this year.

It's a fact now, NX has delayed Zelda U for years. They should have given U owners Zelda and released a version on NX later.

To only have 1 playable game at E3? I mean..... seriously? So fucked up and such a shame. They make great games. This is just awful.

Three months is being kind. People were expecting it a lot earlier, October, November even.

Wii U sold 3.5 million the past year and their forecasts for this year are only 800k. So they are slowing or stopping production on Wii U deliberately.

I don't think delaying its release has anything to do with PS4K or XB1.5 because releasing 3 months later than expected as you say is not going to make a big difference in terms of changing the core concepts or hardware of what the NX is. If the 14nm rumour is true, perhaps they are getting low yields on the chips?

What Nintendo should have done is made Skyward Sword a Wii U launch game where the graphic style would have really thrived much more clearly AND given the system an early classic, instead of relying on Zombi U and a shitload of ports. As for the new Zelda, seriously who is going to buy this on Wii U in 2017? They shouldn't even bother. Focus on NX and make fucking sure its great.

It blows my mind how they've been talking about this Zelda since the Wii U launched in 2012 and its still not out. How are you supposed to keep customer trust like this?

What would make you happy? Miyamoto going tonsils deep, or Monster Hunter?

That's what I'd think. Maybe they want to launch the console and handheld side by side and it turns out that there were some energy efficient chips they could use if they waited until the next year.

This is a fucking disaster! Nintendo is a piece of shit, they have no clue what the fuck they are doing.

who the fuck releases a console in March?! Missing the holidays. Letting Sony and MS get new versions of their consoles out first. Having NO NEW GAMES at E3.

And now because all this shit I don’t get Zelda this year! Fuck you!! Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

Lol!

Another year of a dead system. What are we going to get this holiday, some emergency bullshit Mario maker sequel I get. "We have nothing for this year! Hey what can we make in less than a year?" "I can slap together some more old rom hacks and call it a game" "brilliant!"

Wii u is like a CDi at this point, oh wait CDi actually had new Zelda games!

But........... Skyward sword would have been a port.

I wonder if AMD has anything to do with it? They only have so much capacity with PS4K launching this year too.

I can only guess that Nintendo wanted or needed more time for software too. They have to really blow it out the park with NX or its game over. I'm not talking sales but it has to capture mindshare and respect from the journalists and so called hardcore gamers.

Exactly, which indicates that they had no other choice but to. I don't know what happened but everybody wants to launch for the holidays. No one would choose March  unless they had no other choice. Maybe Iwatas death threw them off in terms of planning? They also did a huge re-structuring.

Hey maybe Nintendo can port those two games to the Wii U. I bet they'd be a huge hit.

I totally agree WTF???? Nintendo is a stupid fuck. I am pissed. They pull this shit on gamers all the time. Wii U was a shit system witn few gems. First lately, they gimp the shit out of Starfox with horrible motion controls, and now this shit???  I really  am going to try and skip NX.

So Nintendo rents out a giant E3 space and now they fill it ONLY with Zelda. Something went horribly wrong. This is beyond bad, I can't imagine how the stock will drop. It's stupid not to showcase NX, uncertainty fuels panic, show the product and even if we have to wait a bit longer at least people know they can have confidence. Unless it sucks then it's a year of people laughing at it.

Nintendo is still a game company, they should be releasing games and this years lineup is the worst in the history of Nintendo. Some fake paper Mario game is the only thing coming for Wii u. Obviously all production went to NX which won't be out for a year. Wtf are you doing.

The mobile thing is the only area that can save them this year. FE and animal crossing are great choices.

It's all a smokescreen. They're preparing everyone for disappointment and then BOOM   Star Tropics 3 gets announced. This is the year for it.
