AND not at E3? Even in video form? What the Ganon Nintendo?!

 

[Betty]

I'm flabbergasted... that people thought this would release in 2015.

 

[Plinko]

Aaaaand Xenoblade Chronicles X is now a Fall 2015 game.

Yep. This was my fear. I'll bet it's actually moved to November.

Edit: NOT AT E3?

Welp, NX it is. No way this is sticking with Wii U at this point. NX launch title.

 

[Armigr]

Won't be at E3 https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/581579256704081920

Someone hold me. I'm gonna cry...

 

[defferoo]

wut... not at E3? O.O what are they going to show instead? mario maker? i was okay with the delay... but not this, not like this...

 

[Branduil]

You're always better off just mentally adding at least one year to any Zelda's announced release date.

 

[Haunted]

Won't be at E3 https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/581579256704081920

Now that's a bit concerning.

 

[Tobor]

That wraps it up for the Wii U.

Hopefully the NX is more powerful, since that's were this game is headed.

 

[Marjar]

2015 is starting to look like 2014.

 

[Prompto]

Won't be at E3 https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/581579256704081920

That's a bit worrisome.

 

[ArkkAngel007]

Well that's one more title I don't have to worry about picking up this year.

 

[chicagocubsfan]

Persona 5 is next.

 

[ArcaneFreeze]

Incoming Twilight Princess HD Port to "tide the fans over."

Still though this isnt surprising in the least, I dont remember the last time a console Zelda game wasn't delayed from its initial release date. And I dont think this will be a Twilight Princess scenario either, the earliest we'll get NX will be Fall 2017 if even that, and we dont even know if it'll be a console or handheld yet.

 

[SalvaPot]

So New F-Zero at E3, got it.

Yep, first Android game confirmed.

 

[PadWarrior]

Unless metriod comes out mario party is the last wii u game Im getting this year

 

[Zodzilla]

Well, this one hurts.

 

[dickroach]

so the Wii U got announced 4 years ago and um... how long's it take to make a game? (serious question)

 

[Super Rookie]

You hear devs talking about making hard cuts to meet deadlines, but the fact they are adding ideas they think will be awesome just makes me more excited for the game!

Delay sucks but I trust them to make it great

 

[uncleniccius]

Not at e3 is crazy, what the hell Nintendo?! A delay is fair enough, but it seems we'll hear nothing for ages.

 

[TheCongressman1]

As long as it isn't until winter next year, then I'm fine.

Also, does anyone else think this was odd? They don't normally just randomly put up videos about stuff like this.

Edit: oh, not going to be at e3?... Dreams crushed and burned.

 

[Nugg]

Honestly... This makes me actually suspect that they're moving platforms.

Right, I'm beginning to suspect that too. They might pull a Twilight Princess

 

[antitrop]

It was never going to.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

There better not be anyone even remotely upset by this delay. This is a GOOD thing.

Plenty of games to play between then and now.

My backlog thanks you, Ninty

A bad game is bad forever

 

[Gonzo The Great]

Not even showing it at E3? Yeah, the NX is coming out in 2016. Quote me on this.

 

[cajunator]

This is the best news. Get it right Nintendo. Make this game as great as possible.
I can wait as long as necessary.

Yes, please!

 

[cw_sasuke]

Okay now I'm even more hyped for e3 if they think they can afford to not show Zelda WiiU. Hehe...

 

[Crimson_Gold]

And there it is...damnation

[Mpl90]

If it isn't even at E3...well, NX has already a great launch game, guys!

 

[SpiceMelange]

I always thought that the lastest 3D Zeldas were excellent yet had some strange clearly undercooked parts. Wind Waker with the cut dungeons (Jabbu) and the odd triforce padding, Twilight Princess was very lean on side content with the magic bar removed at the last minute, Gohma was no were to be seen (huge spider chasing scene in the trailers), bare bones hyrule field, 3 npc in Kakariko, etc. Skyward made you backtrack the same 3 places 3 times...

They all felt like giving them a good last development push would have massively improve them, so I'm happy with this decision regarding Zelda Wii u

 

[BumRush]

Bummer for wii u owners. It makes q4 a bit barren unless (when?) they announce something else at E3. Definitely not unexpected, though.

 

[Ziffles]

soemthing

 

[Danielsan]

Shocking development. What little footage that we got from the game looked to be in a really early state. There was not way they were going to launch this year.

 

[Wasp]

The game looked very unfinished back in December at the Keighleys so I'm not too surprised.

 

[Angry Grimace]

How could that ever have been a realistic possibility?

 

[Razmos]

Sigh, ah well.

Made me chuckle at least that all the people absolutely sure it would be delayed were proven correct.

 

[MattyG]

Won't be at E3 https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/581579256704081920

Fuck. At least give us a title, please.

 

[liliththepale]

Having flashbacks to Twilight Princess. They are going to launch their new platform with Zelda.

At least on Gamecube we got Wind Waker. There's no real Zelda game this whole generation if your hunch pans out.

 

[mdubs]

Iwata be making room for Xenoblade and Star Fox, it's all cool everyone

 

[Volotaire]

NO! NO NO NO NO!

Quite honestly, I was expecting a delay. But I had let optimism to creep in the past few months.

 

[Sydle]

I was just about to buy a used Wii U, but I guess it can wait. I'm sure Nintendo is delaying it for the right reasons, so I'm okay with this.

 

[Yaranaika]

That's fine.
I have more than enough games to play this year already.

 

[oti]

Wii Music 2 - It's time

 

[ffdgh]

Won't be at E3 https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/581579256704081920

Ok this hurts...some sort of tease please!

 

[illadelph]

delayed like every zelda game ever

oh well, there should be plenty to play this year anyway

 

[HowardRoark]

Won't be at E3 https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/581579256704081920

I feel like this even makes 2016 a stretch...

 

[Fodder76]

Classic move. Announce it on a Friday evening so everyone forgets about it over the weekend. Nicely done.

Also, not the slightest bit surprised at this news.

 

[Altered Juice]

i knew it! altered no longer buying Wii U in 2015

 

[Nanashrew]

Not even showing it at E3? Yeah, the NX is coming out in 2016. Quote me on this.

The system will be delayed to 2017
