Welp. Not too surprising, but I had hope they'd be able to get it out since apparently they could've showed it E3 2013. We'll live, but it's going to sting. As for holiday plans, I see three possibilities. First up is a rushed Pokken port, which I don't see as too likely. Second is Animal Crossing U, which is probably only possible for Japan. Last up is Xenoblade X, which is laughable but probably the best option since they can try and promote that pretty well.

Come on. The joke "Everything was 2015" by the end of the year can be pushed back a year as well.
It's good they are taking their time, but if Halo 5 gets delayed I'm not sure what the consoles have coming.

Welp. That's the real bummer out of this.
I wanted to see something substancial about this soon. (not just tiny off-screen Epona riding)

O: I see, I see.
I can live with this, shame about no Zelda at E3 though.

I thought this year felt a little too good to be true. From the thread title I was going to say, hopefully we see it at E3, but sadly they've confirmed we're not seeing it 
.
Oh well, it'll be worth it in the end.

I'm fine with the delay but at least show a trailer or something.

They have to have known it wouldn't be a 2015 game for a long time.
Remember how Miyamoto said Star Fox would come before it, but we haven't even seen gameplay or anything outside of a logo and a single off screen pre-alpha screenshot for it?

Just swap Yoshi's Woolly World with Mario Party 10 and my list is mostly correct. Considering that game has been in development for like 2+ years, I'm literally shocked that it still doesn't have a release date.
They are sooooo salty

I can see them making Xenoblade X their big Q4 game.

No problem, actually more time to play other games, like Splatoon, Yoshi and Xenoblade X, which is actually a pretty lengthy game.
Skyward Sword also wasn't on a platform with an install base of roughly 10 M.

This game better be at the level of Link to the Past and Ocarina of Time. I have incredible expectations.
Star Fox is going to be playable at E3.

Good, at least we know Wii U will be getting a release in 2016 Plus, there's no point rushing it as a means to 'save Wii U' as that will never happen, so just take your time and make sure its an amazing game for the people who do own the system. I won't post that overused Miyamoto quote, but it is appropriate to remember in this case. Also it's nice of them to update us about it, but the timing is a bit random , I'm clamoring for a new Direct.

There is zero reason to think A leads to B in that situation. Even if something was wrong, that wouldn't impede their ability to put together an appealing trailer.
This is just how they always are, they don't want to show until they're ready to show.

Dude, I wouldn't count those chickens before the hatch.
That statement is still VERY presumptuous.
Especially, for the Western release.

I don't think it is troubling. I think it is a sign that they actually discovered something major.
I think this Zelda is the next Ocarina. And what I mean by that is -- they're going to knock it out of the park. I can feel it.

Damn...not too surprising considering the series history but I do appreciate them coming forward about it publicly without waiting for a Direct or anything. Ah well...Wii U 2015 belongs to Xenoblade Chronicles X!
For the record I'm not upset by the delay, cause I think it'll be much better than rushing it out. I'm upset that i made bets with posters and friends saying this game will come out this year. Mad salty right now.
Not being at E3 is somewhat worrisome, sounds like it's releasing end of next year now on the new console, or 2017
Starfox will be the holiday game. Considering how rough and empty Zelda looked at the vgas a delay isn't surprising.
Decent chance nx won't launch until 2017. It seems very early at this point as in it doesn't exist outside of a code name. Nintendo can't afford to launch with a game drought again and if anything Nintendo has learnt next gen games take more time to make.

If you have even a little bit of history following this industry and Nintendo EAD, you could see this coming from a mile away.
To be honest, I was surprised to hear so many people who were adamant about the 2015 release date here on GAF. I suppose we've got a bunch of newer members.

It's never too late for that to change. Stuff happens. I'm expecting Star Fox to be moved to holiday tbh
