Topic: Nintendo NX launching this year with an NX Zelda?

I been thinking, and Zelda NX is probably just Tri-Force Heroes with better online service. Not Zelda U port. Since the NX is not a standard Home Console lol

@DefHalan: Obviously Zelda NX is just a reworked Metroid Prime Federation Force

@IceClimbers: With Zero Suit Tingle as an extra special troll character

Yeah lol the NX is definitely a phone/handheld hybrid. Nintendo is bringing them back. With physical buttons and all.

@NewAdvent: Hrm yea. I can see what you mean by that. I don't know, very interesting. He does seem to be getting lots of press and visibility from his NX stories, so of course that's what he'll do. But again, it's his past that I'm more concerned with. I think everyone is missing the forest for the trees here. This guy has apparently been doing this for more than a decade, yet some seem eager to classify him as a flash in the pan because he noticed he's getting views on NX leak videos.

Judging from his history, though, that doesn't seem to be the case at all.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but the rumor is that A Zelda game is launching with the NX, NOT "Zelda U" in particular. In the printed article he refers to the game as "Zelda NX," which is indeed interesting, though, so maybe that is the game he is talking about. This came up back in the Zelda U thread where I thought it was a big possibility it would dual launch. I used the "Smash Brothers for Wii U" and "Smash Brothers for 3DS" marketing monikers as an example of a previous situation where Nintendo was very careful with its wording concerning titles of games. They've been very careful, if you notice, to always refer to it as "Zelda for the Wii U" - never just "the next Zelda game" or even just "Zelda." Now, of course, that got laughed off by all the typical people, but we'll just see in the end.

@rallydefault: Can't remember who it was, but there was someone suggesting that Zelda U will be coming to the NX because they called it just ''the new Zelda game'' in one of their Directs and didn't mention Wii U. Just to show that you can take that two ways. There's no conspiracy.

Also, people have been saying that he has leaked stuff before, but nobody has been able to provide us with a source of that. All I'm seeing is a YouTuber that makes NX stuff up for the views and ad revenue.

@Octane: Dude check some of my posts. I gave like four examples of things he's leaked.

@rallydefault:
What examples? According to your posts he "leaked" that the Wii would use friend codes which isn't much of a prediction given that the DS did the same. He "leaked" that the Wii U would use an embedded GPU rather than a high spec one after we had seen the form factor and what it was capable of. He "leaked" that what, Chrono Trigger would be released on the Wii? Which is odd given that it wasn't. And now he's "leaking" that Zelda will be a launch title on Nintendo's next console.

Excuse me if I'm not impressed. I reckon you could dig into my history and find better predictions. For example I guessed that the Wii U would do away with friend codes. I guessed that Nintendo would put New SMB on the Wii before they put it on the Wii. I guessed that Nintendo would put a 3D camera on the 3DS and that they'd port DKCR. And right now I'm guessing that the NX is a portable system

BTW, this is how Nintendo is dealing with some of the smaller developers currently. This was from the guys behind Unravel. Make no mistake, Nintendo is being careful about who they talk to. Something which makes me all the more sceptical about anyone who claims to know.

If NX comes in 2016 and is a handheld, a Zelda NX could still happen. What would be cool if it was the case then it being a companion title to Zelda U like SOCOM Fireteam Bravo for PSP is to SOCOM 3 for PS2. To give some backstory you completed missions in the PSP game, some of which had "crosstalk" objectives. Completing these and syncing your data between the 2 games changed certain events in the PS2 game and vice versa.

I wish I could give a good Nintendo example for this but the only ones I can think of are more minor like how completing Metroid Fusion unlocks Metroid (NES) in Metroid Prime by syncing the 2 via link cable.

@skywake: Oh yea, I definitely could. But I have a life outside of this website lol (I don't get a whole lot of time to post - sorry to anyone who may get frustrated when I don't get to respond to your replies.)

Anyway, here's the bottom line for me, guys. And it's kind of always the bottom line when it comes to stuff like this: I have my opinions, and you have yours. We will all be convinced that we are the logical ones, and that other people's logic is flawed. We can always do better than the guy sitting next to us. @Skywake will always have something to nitpick about everything I say. lol. Some things just won't budge, and that's fine.

So here's my opinion on this one: I think this leak is going to turn out to be true in some way. I think this because it makes great sense for Nintendo to launch NX, handheld or home, with a wallop of a game: Zelda fits the bill, and Zelda for Wii U will be coming out in roughly the same area of time. This and some of the other leaks this MetalDave guy or whatever have found make me believe in this one.

Agree or disagree - time will tell. We'll all have a good chuckle a year or so from now when we finally learn the outcome of it all.

@rallydefault: Every one is entitled to an opinion but an opinion you can't defend is an opinion not worth holding. If you struggle to defend your views then maybe your views aren't particularly solid.

This guy clearly has some vested interest here. He has a channel and site which is built on pushing these sort of rumors. He has now gained a small amount of internet fame. Why should I trust what he's saying? I personally don't make a habit of trusting random blogs.

@rallydefault: Provide us at least with a source or links to a source. We have yet to see any evidence of his supposed leaks that all turned out to be true.

This isn't to challenge you, but it's in our interest as well. If he has been right before, that would make him more credible than he is now. I've tried to find any evidence, but I haven't found anything. So if you could please back up your claims with solid evidence, I'd appreciate it.

@rallydefault: I'm in the console, probably a multi form factor ecosystem camp. And I definitely see Zelda U be zelda NX - I even teased as much way back I'm also someone who acknowledges that the odds are mostly in favour of a dedicated handheld, which I personally translate to nintendo merging it all next time: no more separate businesses to uphold.

One is dry statistics that, in theory, has the most odds and in practice works rarely. The other is gut feeling based off momentum and direction.

I like the speculation and the anticipation

@skywake: @Octane: I've defended my opinion many times. If you don't "like" the leaks provided, or don't think they are valid for whatever reason, that's up to you. It makes me chuckle, but it's your prerogative lol

As for providing links, @Octane, just do a Google search, man. Trust me, if I was lying about any of those things (Wii processor, friend code system for Wii, Chrono Trigger, etc.) somebody like @Skywake would have already found out and had a coronary. Just do a quick Google search with something like "MetalDave friend code" or whatever key word you want. I'm off to work! Good luck out there, guys!

@erv: And that's awesome to hear, man! It's always good to hear from some people who aren't diametrically opposed to me haha

@rallydefault: That's what I did and I haven't found anything yet. The burden of proof is on you.

The Wii U processor wasn't a leak by the way, it was speculation, he even said so himself. He guessed right, like many other people did.

@rallydefault Just put it into Google...didn't find any of those things you've mentioned.

@NewAdvent: Yeah, I share your views. And I enjoy your use of the word updoot.

As I said earlier, these aren't profound predictions. Anyone could have made those predictions. The Wii using friend codes for example was one that I was wandering around on the internet while that was being said. It was just assumed that the Wii would use friend codes like the DS. I remember this because I disagreed with that (ultimately correct) assumption. I thought Nintendo would be stupid not to do what they ultimately did on the 3DS, a single code/ID for the console itself. Unfortunately in that instance they were stupid

And again can I point this one glaring thing out. What are you talking about in regards to a correct prediction about Chrono Trigger? Specifically Chrono Trigger on the Wii? Because I'm pretty sure that doesn't even exist. Unless you are saying he was "correct" in predicting it on the Wii just before it came out on the DS.....

@skywake To be fair, Chrono Trigger WAS actually on the Wii's Virtual Console.
