anybody who bought it specifically for ffvxiii probably bought it with the intent on playing all of the failed fabula nova cyrstalis games lol, the former is a legitimate gripe

don't let's

never buy a console for an unreleased game

millions of regretful ps3 owners made the same mistake (and will again with the ps4 no doubt)
Never again. Though I did get it for Mario Kart 8 and that free game promotion they had going on at the time. (And WW HD) But that new Zelda was why I jumped the gun. :(


i pretty much bought mine for the same reason, and it helped that it was $200 at the time

and i guess the fact that i figured i would inevitably need one for zelda did factor into my purchase somewhat, but more immediate were mk8 and sm4sh (and 3d world and some other things)

did you at least like mario kart lol
yeah, Mario Kart was good. So far I have that game, wind waker hd, pikmin 3, super mario bros u/luigi u, monster hunter 3 ultimate, duck tales remastered, mp trilogy, smg 2, and a bunch of gba and other vc games. (Mostly metroid, mario, and zelda titles) And there are, I think, at least a few other games I want, so it hasn't exactly been a waste. But I will be very disappointed/sad/mad if the new zelda doesn't come out for the wii u.

Quote from: miyamotoI’ve pulled myself back out of some of the hardware section and I’m really focused on some of the software that I’m involved inâ€"for example, the new Starfox game. Of course I am observing and looking at the hardware, but I am not actively participating and making decisions.


Thank God

though tbh at this point it's probably too late for it to matter at all

nintendo has a reputation that it'll find impossible to shake off no matter what it does[/spoiler]

Quotemass production will start in May or June 2016, while the console's official launch may take place around July


so much for the Wii U ever getting a real Zelda game sillydood;

Classic

Just a rumor.


[spoiler]OH GOD IT'S TOO CONVINCING[/spoiler]

tbh this release sounds way too soon to me

I was expecting it to be a Fall 2016 release, no earlier than October, considering that they haven't even formally announced it yet

Don't they always wait until E3 for hardware reveals? If they do it for this supposed schedule, the announcement timing will be "by the way, you should pre-order it right now to get one of the very limited stock releasing next month"

nintendo needs to release in the middle of summer so the nx isn't forgotten amongst the new skylaners launching in november

Kalahari Inkantation

if those rumours are true, then nintendo would be taking yet another step down sega's path

http://www.ign.com/articles/2008/05/02/the-sad-legacy-of-the-saturn-launch

were they not paying any attention whatsoever to the reasons their former largest competitor went under

bleh

further rumour fodder suggests that nintendo expects to ship 20 million nx units within its first year

http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2015/07/rumour_nintendo_nx_shipping_this_time_next_year_20_million_sales_targeted_in_first_12_months

for comparison, the wii u, in its >2.5 years on the market, has sold <10 million, and only about 2 million so far this year

nintendo must have some truly delusional amount of faith in the zelda they cancelled and moved over to nx, as it might be the only barely compelling reason to own one
