In light of the NX announcement this does seem like a bad time to announce this.

Or, maybe, early April 1st joke?

iPad / iPhone, I'm guessing.

I wish, but it's not.

I like Zenith though. He's like this forum's one-man Tales blog.

I used to like zenith, then I came to hate him, and finally I came to accept him. It was a cycle.

While I don't think if NX is a home console that it will be out in till 2017 but at the same time with the way wii u has been saleing and now losing a big game this year in Zelda wii u who knows. Yeah I don't know if I would get an NX next year if it is a home console has that would only be a 4 year wii u life span in less they really bring something great to the table with NX. Form what I have heard wii TP was basicly the same has the gamecube one when it comes to graphics just the motion control thing so I don't know if there would really be a reason to get Zelda on NX instead of wii u.

Well, there wasn't a huge power difference between the GCN and the Wii, and the Wii didn't support HD. So, really, there wasn't a huge amount that could be done outside the controls. Presumably, a new console would be more powerful, at least akin to PS4/Xbone with full HD capabilities and yadda yadda. Of course, with Nintendo, god knows.

But he bottom line of what I was saying is that I wouldn't buy a new console in 2016, so I'd just buy Zelda U on the Wii U. It's in the goddamn name.

 

[Thundercrack85]

That has to be a placeholder name though. I mean, if Nintendo didn't call ALTTP Super Zelda, or OoT Zelda 64 they're not going to call this Zelda Zelda Wii U.

At least, God I hope it's a placeholder name. With Nintendo nowadays you just don't know.

Nah, not really. Even if they hadn't explicitly announced a new system, people would still probably speculate the same thing. The early NX announcement was necessary, I think.

Or, maybe, early April 1st joke?

That would be fantastic.

I wish it was just a joke. Have there ever been like video game apirl first jokes before april 1st lol

While yeah I hear you about the wii compared to gamecube but even wii u is not that strong compared to ps3 and xbox 360 so you never know if NX is going to even been a big step up in power form wii u and it would be more of a port then a fresh new game on the NX.

Yeah, that's why I said, god knows with Nintendo. Either way, I really don't care, I'm getting it on the Wii U unless my Wii U is stolen before then, or explodes or something. 2016, 17, 19. Whatever.

 

[Thundercrack85]

Assuming Nintendo isn't completely deaf, or blind (which I grant you, is a bit of an assumption), they will make the next system significantly more powerful, at least on par with the current systems.

Who knows with Nintendo any more but Zelda wii u has been a odd game. They say we where close to showing it at E3 2013 yet we get nothing. If they where really that close to showing it by E3 2013 we should have gotten a lot more by even last years E3 and now we are not going to even see it this year at E3. How do you go form almost showing a game and then having showed almost nothing a who almost 2 years latter? You would thin kthat the first thing they would say about the game is the name. I don't think any of the another Zelda games have like weghted to give use a name for like 2 plus years.

 

[Tron Bonne]

I'm pretty convinced the name is simply The Legend of Zelda, like Smash was Super Smash Bros. And no, I don't acknowledge the titles of those games as Super Smash Bros for 3DS/Wii U. That's ****ing stupid.

 

[Thundercrack85]

I get the sense that they've radically changed direction with the game. Otherwise, I really don't see why they have so little to show. It's one thing to delay a game, but so far we've learned nothing about the plot, or even the world it's set in. It's all been nondescript fields, and Link fighting generic enemies. We don't even have a proper name for the game.

Everything so far has been reminiscent of tech demos. I would not be surprised if what we see next looks nothing like what we have been seeing. And I don't mean in a Watch Dogs kind of way. Just different.

That is not saying much if there next system is just has powerful has ps4 and xboxone though it should be a lot more power. Even wii u is more power full then ps3 and xbox360 where. If it is just has powerful has ps4 and xboxone all that means is like a year or 2 later ps5 and xbox 2 or what ever are going to be much more powerful again.

 

[spiderman2]

With the way Zelda has been talked and treated if this was like any another game franchise I would have like no confidences at all. The only reason why I am confident about the game is because there as never been a bad Zelda game before. Just about ever Zelda game is great or even a classic and even the worst Zelda games are better then like 90% of todays games.

 

[Thundercrack85]

The PS4 and Xbox One won't be on their way out in 2017 though. I doubt we'll see any new consoles from either Sony or Microsoft prior to 2020.

Ideally Nintendo's next console should be significantly more powerful, but them making it on par with the other two isn't bad necessarily. They would be able to get multiplats, and create games on par with their two direct competitors. It would also be relatively inexpensive.

The Wii U suffered from bad timing.

Well, the plot and setting will be the same as virtually every Zelda ever, so we already know that. But honestly, it's not totally unheard of for them to show little of a Zelda game. We actually saw very little, for instance, of Skyward Sword before it was released. Same for TP, really. It was announced to be a thing without any actual footage, and then we went for a long stretch where we saw or heard virtually nothing.

I don't think its going to be that late for sony and Microsoft. I say either 2018 or 19 as that would be 5-6 years. Ever gen another then last gen has been 5-6 years and the people making the games started to complain last gen about the systems not having enough meromary. I don't think that wii u was bad timing. I think it was that the gmick of the tablet controller didn't catch on like the motion controller of the wii.

Was it 2 plus years though? When did we first hear about Sky sword and TP and when did we start getting videos, trailers screen shoots ect?

 

[Tron Bonne]

TP was announced in 2003, I believe, and I'm pretty sure we didn't actually see or hear anything until at least 2004. Obviously, it's been quite awhile, so my memory may be fuzzy, but the more I think about, the less I remember ever seeing or hearing much of anything, period, about Twilight Princess until it got delayed and then ported to the Wii. Skyward Sword was talked about in 2008, officially unveiled in 2009, and I don't think we got any actual footage until 2011 (the same year it was released).

Wow, actually, the more I think about it, the more I realize they really don't show very much of Zelda games. Unless I'm misremembering some of the above, which is possible. All of that's been a day or two.

mmm yeah I am not sure my self that is why I asked. The only thing I really remember about TP before it came out was that there was some trailer that came out that showed a lot of stuff that didn't end up in the fianly game but I have no clue if that trailer was the same year the game came out or like the year before or what.

 

[Tron Bonne]

If you're thinking of what I think you are, that's probably the tech demo they showed at Spaceworld 2001.

while there was that to but know I was thinking of something else with TP where spaceworld thing was for what turned out to be wind waker.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

2016 is the 30th anniversary of Zelda, so I expect a lot of Zelda stuff.

That will be fun.

 

[spiderman2]

So I just found this sit about things that where cut form Zelda games. I didn't really look at it yet I am going to when I can.

Also this is the video I was talking about with TP. The part at around 2:20 was not in the finaly game and some of the another stuff to.
