Topic: zelda u : whats going on

Well this has gotten pretty far off topic, hasn't it? Point is: we'll see Zelda U at E3, year. Nintendo had best do a press conference (despite how much I loved last year's decisions) and they had better bring the gold we know they have. I don't know if a release date for X is so important, but an estimated launch window would be nice. Like... Summer 2015, maybe?

Also, I feel certain we'll get Zelda U before we get a Majora's Mask remake, which I see no reason to assume will be on the 3DS, but don't particularly care which system it's on, anyways.

I have a gut feeling that the game is going to be announced for release this holiday.

That or some other new title will be announced at E3 for this holiday (in addition to Smash), but I really think they are going to do this year with Zelda what they did last year with Super Mario 3D World.

I think this holiday will see Hyrule Warriors and 2015 or 2016 will see Zelda U

Christmas 2015 will be filled with Star Wars and Legend of Zelda HD. It will.

Hyrule Warriors is such a side game that I don't see Nintendo highlighting it as a main game seller. It's not a big budget title like a 1st Party Nintendo game and honestly I think the game is going to go under the radar after release.

Again, really think Zelda is coming this holiday. Especially given how the Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma worded the Wind Waker HD release. I'm paraphrasing but it was something along the lines of "here's Wind Waker HD to help fill the void until the next Zelda". Those weren't his exact words but it came across to me like the game was far into development already. Also if I'm not mistaken, I believe the game could have been playable at last year's E3 but Nintendo decided not to show it.

Edit: Yeah here's an article referencing that: https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2013/06/miyamoto_zelda_wii_u...

I'm feeling a "surprise" announcement (really not a surprise just like Mario wasn't a surprise last year) at E3 followed by a release window between Holiday 2014 or at the latest Spring 2015.

I doubt it. Zelda U is more likely to come in 2015

I don't think Hyrule Warriors is going to be so quiet. Dynasty Warriors (from my understanding) is a big series in Japan. Also it is Zelda... Zelda is kinda a big deal. Zelda U wasn't far enough along to show last year and Nintendo likes Zelda Hype to last a long time. With the other big titles this year, Zelda is more likely to be 2015

2014 would be monumentally stupid since releasing all your titles at once is stupid. 2nd half of 2014 is the only thing that feels like a confident "yep, Nintendo's bringing lots of games out" type of deal with Wii U right now.

So I'm to assume we've all forgotten what happened last year with A Link Between Worlds?

Hyrule Warriors is a DLC

Not a chance Zelda-U comes out in 2014. I can't believe people still believe this.

I don't see why this is so impossible. Unlikely, sure. Impossible? No. Again, I believe we're forgetting that last year, a new Zelda title was announced early in the year, revealed along with a name at E3 and then released near the end. 2014 may be unlikely, but it's by no means impossible.

Remember that both DK tropical freeze, A link between worlds, and super mario 3d world all came out less than a year after announcement.

Wii U also doesn't need Zelda U this year. There is no good reason to release it this year. This is 99.999999999999% unlikely coming this year

Completely different situations.

None of those three games you mentioned are on the scale of what a Wii-U Zelda title will be, thus it will require a lot more time to develop. We haven't even gotten an official announcement or seen a single image from the game either, so it seems HIGHLY unlikely it will be released in 2014. Even DKC:TF released the year after it was revealed.

Beginning at the end of May, Nintendo already has Smash Bros, Bayonetta 2, Mario Kart 8, and potentially Hyrule Warriors, Yarn Yoshi and "X" releasing before 2014 is over. It makes no sense for them to shoehorn a major title like Zelda-U into that 6 month release window following E3.

Anyone willing to make a bet on this? Lets have some fun...

We will likely find out at E3 if Zelda-U is coming in 2014 or 2015. If it's 2014, I will change my screen name and profile picture to anything the winner selects. If it's 2015, I get to pick your name/avatar. You then have to keep at least the new name for 90 days, but can change the avatar picture later.

Any takers??

I remember when Skyward Sword was first revealed in 2010 it was supposed to come out that year.

Then minutes after the Nintendo press conference it was delayed to 2011. :/

Depends on your definition of "revealing". It had a weird "reveal"

Because it would be silly they need games like Zelda to pad out the 2015 release schedule plus we're already getting MK8 and SSB4 this year Nintendo don't want them to fight for shelve space.

I went looking for a gif of Miyamoto failing with the Wiimote but to my disappointment I couldn't find any.

You mean how a portable game came out less than a year after it was announced? The scope of ALBW, 3D World, and Tropical Freeze (as others pointed out) is much smaller than a Console Zelda. Also I hope they take more time with Zelda as I have found plenty of small glitches in 3D World that show how rushed tge game was (not as many glitches as other AAA games but more than Mario normally has)
