Quote:Now, Nintendo should have realized that saying nothing about games releasing after early 2016 was going to open the floodgates of people saying "Wii U is dead, NX releases 2016, Wii U is dead", so if that ISN'T true (and I hope it's not, that'd be too soon) Nintendo should have headed it off by talking about games releasing after early 2016, but still, Nintendo has a solid library for this year.
The next mainline Zelda being a complete no-show should really tell you all you need to know about Nintendo's plans past early-2016. The Wii U is dead in the water and there's little hope of recovery at this point, the best move for them is to just move Zelda forward to the NX and prep it as a launch title. Otherwise, they're just throwing away money and opportunity.
