TheFlyingGerbil Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 2015 release for Zelda Wii U in no longer a priority. Can't say it's surprising but can't say it's not disappointing. As long as it's not delayed until Project NX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 *Edit - In all seriousness, if it gets me a better game then I'm down, as long as it's not moved to NX. If that happens I might actually kill someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Yeah, Zelda was only ever going to be released when it was done and i certainly appreciate the level of polish that Nintendo applies to its games and i know that takes time. I guess it just feels slightly like torture to me as Zelda is really the only game I look forward to with anything approaching genuine anticipation but from what he says in the video it's like they only just started working on it seriously. Seems like they literally spend years just discussing ideas, like the idea of an open world was only recently nailed down even though they must have been working on this since 2011. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Perfect opportunity for a remake of the last great Zelda game in HD... TWILIGHT PRINCESS!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Since it took them over 3 years to develop the Majora's Mask remake you'll need to hope they anticipated this problem a looong time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Speaking of TP, I hope they don't pull that shit here, where they port it to the NX and release that version first. Pissed me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Yeah I only played TP on Wii with those awful controls, I'd love to play it with a controller, in widescreen, with HD visuals... one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Even if they didn't show anything, this has got to be a relief:- Miyamo: "We're here to talk about Star Fox but Zelda is still coming to Wii U, so don't worry about that." so it's at least not an NX exclusive Aonuma: "In a game, it's when you get stuck, when you want that help. And I kinda frontloaded all that in Skyward Sword, and it doesn't really help to get that information when you don't know what to do with it. So that was a real learning experience for me. So I'm going to be careful not to do that." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 What was the context of that second quote? Is he talking about tutorials, or "hints" from Fi, or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 The extra long tutorials at the start of the game. Though just going back now and trying to find the rest of the quote it's actually from last year, as in a different article it references how link between worlds is less tutorial heavy as a result. Still, it's good news, if not exactly new news. It doesn't mention fi, though if he is taking on board constructive criticism there was certainly plenty of it about her and thinking back back didn't they completely remove a companion from link between worlds? that may be too far in the other direction. I'm hoping for either a proper character like midna (unlikely from the trailers we've seen so far) or just anavi style dot that floats over to interesting things that may be easier to miss in the open world style.

TheFlyingGerbil Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I didn't recognise quite a bit of that, but it all sounded good. The conductor was milking it for all it was worth at the end there, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Twilight Princess HD is not releasing until March 2016. They did reiterate Zelda Wii U is a 2016 Wii U title but That surely means it won't come out until the end of the year so that is an entire year delay for the game. It's not so much the wait that bothers me but it does make me worry there serious problems with it or that it's not nearly as far along in development as they want us to think. I know they're not previously showed much info about home console zelda games before launch but I'd love to see something so I know they've made more than just a big empty field so far.

TheMightyEthan Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 I think you're getting worried for no reason. Say what you will about Nintendo, their games are well-made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMW Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Link is wearing blue and has a moody Assassin's Creed type hood. Assassin's Creed Hyrule? I dunno, I guess I would be fine with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 I think you're getting worried for no reason. Say what you will about Nintendo, their games are well-made. That's why I think they could be struggling to make an open world a compelling "Nintendo" experience. Though I do think it's more likely just didn't appreciate how much work was needed on it. Whatever the reason for the delay though, I'm still confident I'll love it when it comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP Posted November 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 I'd wager the reason the game got delayed was partly to polish and refine it (or fix it??), but also to coincide with the NX release at the end of 2016, they'll Twilight Princess the game.

TheFlyingGerbil Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 So you still think nx will be a 2016 release? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) I sincerely doubt the NX will release prior to fall 2017. Gamecube was announced (as "Project Dolphin") in 1999, unveiled in 2000, released in fall 2001. Wii was announced at E3 2004, unveiled at E3 2005, released in fall 2006. Wii U was announced early in 2011, unveiled at E3 2011, released fall 2012. NX was just announced this year, and following that pattern it would have been unveiled at E3 this year if it were going to be released next year, so far more likely it will be unveiled at E3 2016 and released fall 2017. *Edit - That would also put 5 years between generations, which would be much more palatable to fans than a 4-year generation.

TCP Posted November 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 All the signs point to a 2016 release. The Wii U bombed, they don't want that thing sitting on shelves as the main Nintendo console in January 2017. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 I will say that typically dev kits don't go out until the year before launch, so that does cut against my pattern of announce and release, but it's possible Nintendo has learned from its mistakes and is trying to get developer feedback on the still-developing specification.

TCP Posted November 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Bookmark this thread, Ethan. At some point next year when the NX gets unveiled one of us is eating crow. Spoiler: It'll be you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madbassman39 Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Well I've never really played much of a zelda game so I'm going to give Twilight Princess a try on the Wii U! Just gotta wait a few more days! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
