@Haru17 I can't. Take it with a huge grain of salt though. We've seen the game running on Wii U, so I don't know how much truth there is to this rumour. Guess we'll learn more soon if it's actually true.
@Octane Well, I presume it would be referencing performance in the later, more intensive and chaotic stages of the game. I wonder how the late game boss fights are running, for example. We'll have to wait and see but
@Haru17 Not the Japanese Amazon though, I think that's what that blog post was referencing to. I've seen some people speculate that Nintendo may cancel just the Wii U version in Japan, or maybe just the physical versions. That would still be pretty stupid in my opinion, but at least more believable.
So can anyone who can read Japanese vet this source for their credibility? Because if not then I'm surprised that this was taken seriously for even a second, let alone by a mod. Might as well start giving credence to any random YouTube/Gamefaqs comments if we're giving this any attention without even attempting to ascertain their credibility.
Now that I have that logic bit thrown out there for y'all, ima just gonna til my head back and laugh at anyone who still thinks this is being cancelled after thy showed it yet again only 2 weeks ago at a rather heavily watched event...
It's awful, but I would probably giggle quite a bit if that came to pass. I don't expect it to, but wow, the laughs I would have at such a sad situation.
I thought the internet already concluded it was dead.... long before now, in fact.
EDIT: Just saw the rumors. For some reason I'm not as surprised as I should be.
Seems very unlikely they'll cancel the Wii U version at this point. They've been principally targeting that platform for a good 3 years of the game's development and shown large parts of the game running on it.
If they did cancel it, I do intend to throw my toys out of the pram and refuse to buy the Switch for at least 2 years. And then I'll buy a used console and used games. I'm a principled person Nintendo. Don't test me!

Don't do that, Dezzy! Man! I know it would be kinda underhanded for Nintendo to cancel the Wii U version after teasing is since 2013 — two years before the NX was announced in a tweet — but you'll probably get a Switch eventually anyway, right? I'm just saying — we'll probably have spoiled it for you if you wait after release to play. And you've waited a painfully long time already! Hell, I remember quibbling with you back in 2014.
I'm hardly advocating against consumer advocacy, but there are bigger fish to fry. If you really want to take a stand, stop buying all consumer electronics because they are made by poverty-slave labor where worker and individual rights are suppressed by armed guards and people are paid mere pittances for their labour (Foxxcon). That is undeniably more of an issue than disappointments and broken promises.
Zelda's Facebook: "Now until the launch of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, we’ll be exploring the Hyrulean landscape with new screenshots."
A couple of things.
Firstly, see how the green trees are all pines? And the red ones all deciduous? They seem to be teasing that seasons things REAL hard. Unlike in Fable 3, this seedling may yet grow into a grand tree of ambition.
Secondly — hype hype hype hype hyyype! I remember they did a "daily screenshot" for WoW: Cataclysm leading up to the 2010 launch and I was so into it. This isn't daily — and the game certainly isn't Blizzard's trash — but it could still be very, very exciting.
Finally, "until the launch." These pictures could become treacherous with environmental spoilers as they progress. But until then? Sooooo hype!
