Zelda Wii U: Nintendo Press Site Changed Date From March 2017 To Simply 2017

zelda_wii_u_date

As I’m sure you’re already aware by now, The Legend of Zelda Wii U has been delayed and is now coming to both the Wii U and the forthcoming Nintendo NX platform. The Nintendo of America press site previously had the game listed with a March 2017 release date, but they have changed it yet again to simply 2017. The Legend of Zelda Wii U will be the only playable Nintendo game at this year’s E3 event as it’s the game Nintendo wants consumers to focus on.

      1. LOL.. This satisfies me..

        Nintendo is a fucking joke. Wow I really needed that good laugh…

        So good.

        You fools might as well face the ugly truth about the idiotic empire you oh so adore.. You WILL NOT see a Zelda U release until Feb 2018.. You know it.. I know it… Shit Iwata knows it and he’s a pile of melting worm bait right now. The bottom line is you will get Zelda U someday (2018) and when you do it will me miles behind what the Sonyans and Xbots will be offering at that time. And yet once again you will be the man child who plays Nintendo games left in the rain..

        Nintendo and its anti-Jewish agenda must be stopped. It’s a crying shame that such beliefs still exist in Japan.. Sasori Obinna Mii will take you by the hand and show you the way. Hear his wisdom and practice his wisdom..

        1. Oh and by the way, if this pleases you, then your the bigger fool. I keep telling you all rather system or game, if there is a DELAAAY, it means its gonna be BEEETTTER. The delay can be a number of things…bugs, waiting for the right moment (which in case is not far from out time now, good job nintendo and I mean that), could be anything. If your please be this, then you the fool because that wait is not long from now and I personally welcome it. Just like gears 4.

            1. I think you missed my point, HE says 2018 which we all know is not true…and telling us “to face it”, AND, this news pleases him which it says “2017 march”. think man, re read my comment.

        2. I’m not even taking this article in general seriously. I’m an Nintendo fan but even I like to poke fun of my home company here and there.

          1. That’s the point, he a hypocrite, he says he a fan of xbox but his past videos shows hes not, he tried to “EXPOSE” us, and it never works for the simple fact that fans of nintendo are being true fans and he’s calling us fanboys all because we like nintendo. Like most trolls who know nothing of any of us, he known to try and hide the fact that he thinks we know nothing of him. He’s not poking fun like some of us, he’s trying to be a smart troll and like always, its not working. xD

  1. Not to get upset. The longer the wait the better it gets… unless yall want the game weak, outdated and bad graohics. And besides it makes it hard for competition to really know what Nintendo is up to.

      1. 33 months Sony wont know nothing about to make any changes. Remeber when Wiimotes got revealed before launch how quickly Sony and Microsoft released their versions?

    1. No no no all because a game takes an extra year or 2 doesnt mean it is automatically going to be better and it will already have not good enough graphics for some or a lot of people and they may also think it is outdated and the competition doesnt need to know nintendos every step especially when they are far ahead and 1 game wont really change much now multiple 1st party games may have put a dent in their sales but that wont mean much especially if the nx gets little to no 3rd party support because then there would be the horrendous droughts nintendo is fuckin known for again and again and again look you fuckin retard nintendo will continue to be monkey shit if they dont get with the times and actually compete with the competition and step up their game to the competitions level or higher but i doubt higher because nintendo is just incredibly absolutely fuckin stupid

      1. Thats the problem you don’t know if the NX is outdated or not because they didnt unveil it yet. And if you dont know neither does Sony knows. Think about it, All Sony does is copy Nintendo yet just makes it more powerful. Sony has no clue what the NX is. Thats why they made a PS4 5. PS1 never had a facelift, PS2 never had a facelift, PS3 never had a facelift. Now all of a sudden a new Nintendo console arrives in the middle of a generation because Wii U flopped and all of a sudden a more powerful PS4 is arriving. Why is that? This isnt nintendo being stupid m like they used to be, this is Nintendo learning from their lesson. A quiet console is a safe console until closer to production.

    2. That sounds great if they actually delayed Zelda so that they could make the game better. Unfortunately that’s just not the case. Zelda U is more than likely finished, or near completion. It’s delayed so that it can be a launch title for the NX, and no matter how you spin it, that’s just fucked up. Nintendo has been hyping this game for the Wii U for three years, and now the Wii U gets the inferior version… lol

    3. I'm just an Animal Crossing

      I wish there was a dislike button. C’mon bro?! Don’t damage control. You know it’s painful to wait even longer.
      I don’t know how the rest of the fans feel but It’s hard for me to get excited about a game being shown in a couple months only to have to wait 9 more months for its release when they already showed a little bit off a couple years ago!

      1. NoA’s website had pointed out March 2017 as the release date. I know it’s NoA, the house of clowns, but… It was right there.

                      -||I’ll make it happen again don’t worry||-

                1. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge Nintendo fan. I’ve owned all of their consoles and most of their handhelds. But seeing what they have become these past few years is pitiful. They have no major titles for the rest of the year, and with its last big title coming to Wii U, gamers have even less incentive to buy or continue to support the system. Their pushing back the NX release to March, so Nintendo fans have almoat nothing to look forward to this year. And to make matters worse, they replace the already sub-par Club Nintendo with something much worse. It’s ironic that Nintendo’s current gen home console turns out to be its worst, while their current handheld console turns out to be one of their best.

                  1. You keep saying that as if nintendo will see this, and yet you keep saying its shit. If you want to complain still here I give you the actual place on twitter for them. @NintendoAmerica Try there…They deserve criticism but doing it too much as I said in the past makes you look bad. Why you think people are arguing against you now like tobiyyah, skeletons420, rootgamer, paidenthusiast, peridot gem, and more, its because your digging your own hole. Want a good example? Look at you being banned last time, better yet, look at the one guy waaaaaaaaaay up there called sassori, go to his youtube or twitter and look at all he’s done. You want to become that? Be my guest, it just might result in another ban. Think about it.

                    1. I would send them an email, but Nintendo’s never been one to listen to their fans. They themselves have said that they do what they think is good and the fans will come. What I say here are comments based on the respective article. Zelda being delayed for a combined total of around 2 years? Relying on ONE game at E3, with no new information on their next console? NX not arriving until next year in March, leaving them with almost nothing until then? Now all of that coupled with all of their current shortcomings with Wii U such as online infrastructure, storage capacity, downloadable content being locked to hardware, and being far less powerful than their competitor’s consoles. It’s hard to take seriously a company that keeps making mistakes like this, and that is why I say they’re becoming a joke. They deserve all of the criticism that they are receiving, Sony and Microsoft get criticized for their mistakes and they fix them. The Wii had the same problem with its hardware limitations, but their solution that was amazing titles to compensate for their shortcomings. Oh, and I don’t recall ever being banned. I try to be respectful of everyone’s opinions even if they disagree with what I have to say.

                    2. No, you think about it. They are just like nintendo, you think they fix their shit that fast, you are deadly mistaken. Sony and microsoft is doing the same thing nintendo is doing they are. Why you think they have updates almost every week or month? Why do you think they are coming up with PS4K now called Neo? You think about it. Nintendo now that I think about it is actually pulling a smart move. And I said it before too, “all of a dam sudden, the nx is announced, sony comes with a new version of the playstation, called PS4K”. Oh and to be truthful on zelda, I never actually heard of an actual release date, so those delays to me, mean that they are making it better but never got an actual release date, to me they are pulling a twilight princess move and it was a very good move. Your dealing with a president that sold the original wii and SNES.

                2. Unless I’m missing something or you know something I don’t, I think you got danntheman1776 mixed up with brucelee312/bargodblog.

    1. The question is is it delayed because of the game or is it delayed to make it tough for competition to copy like they did Wii and Wii U unveiling too early before release? After all only reason why Sony enforced the Vita to be a controller for PS3 &PS4 was because of the Gamepad. They worked on it in R&D while Project Cafe was in R&D. Then by the time Wii U launched the Gamepad wasnt an exclusive as it should had been because they revealed it early enough for competition to adjust to what Project Cafe was.

      Nintendo is learning off their lesson. Reveal a console as close to production as possible because of copycats. Smart strategy. I like this new CEO Nintendo has. He is smart.

        1. Really? Wasnt Gamecube, Wii and Wii U unveiled at E3? So how is it Nintendo being Nintendo if the NX isnt at E3. To me sounds like Nintendo knows Sony’s strategy now after 3 generations.

      1. Dude, this article is about Zelda, not the NX. Based on a few of your comments, it looks like you think this is about the NX. It’s specifically about the new Zelda game.

      2. Of course he is, He’s the main reason behind nintendos past success. “Now your playing with power”, “Wii would like to play”. Ring any bells? He is the main reason why they were badass back then. He sold the wii as well as the SNES.

        1. You can keep droning and being delusional all you want you ignorant ass hole but nintendo need to fuckin improve and stop being at the bottom and hopefully the nx will start the long journey to recovery

            1. Some people are just mad because they wanted the Zelda game and NX to be unveiled at E3 so Sony can adjust to the new information they can get for the PS4.5K and make adjustments. Nintendo isnt holding Sony’s hand anymore so they can copy them and just make it more power. The purpose of the PS4.5 was to estimate the NX. And with the NX at no show at E3,it fucked up Sony’s traditional strategy …..copying Nintendo in R&D. Sony is running worried now. Nintendo is using the “waiting for games” to give a reason why Zelda and NX isnt coming out this year. Nintendo knows they have enough tittles completed by then. But you never tell the real information to allow competition to know. Tha is why they revealing it at a later year…..competition won’t have time to adjust to NX in R&D.

          1. I'm just an Animal Crossing

            I understand people get passionate about their preferred topic of interest and hobbies but we don’t have to result to “name calling” other people here.
            Let’s just say what we want. But try not to attack anyone personally. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
            -Peace.

            1. Even though I’m guilty of that crap at times myself, yes. We should quit with these personal attacks. It does none of us any favors & the moment we resort to them, we all lose the argument regardless of who has logic on their side. *gives myself a day or 2 before I snap & let loose an insult even after making this comment* lol

      1. I think there isnt going to be anything maybe sone shit here and there ablut games to be released but we already know that shit so i have a feeling many people will be disappointed

        1. The Nintendo President has clearly stated the NX will launch in March 2017. The Legend of Zelda exact release date will be announced at E3.

        2. see, you didn’t even read their statements, before zelda WAS annouced march 2017, they made that clear that the nx is on the same date and its launching on both wii u and NX! God, your blond is showing too much!

  2. I’sure Aonuma asked for more time to finish Zelda U/NX. Of course he’ll say “We want to deliver the best Zelda game ever and blah, blah, blah”, the typical PR bullsh*t, to defend another delay.

          1. Oh Geez, you totally got me. I don’t know how I could recover from such a sick burn…….Oh wait, quite easily, because just like yourself, that reply was complete shit. Come back when you have an actually good insult to humour me with.

        1. That crossed my mind for a minute. But in the past Inafune released an alpha- or beta-version for selected backers. So there is something done, although half-way.

          1. Delays are necessary when it comes to a big competitor like Microsoft and Sony. Would yall want PS4.k to have features NX has because lack of delays or would yall want the NX to stay unique? Thats why NX aint coming to E3. That would give Sony 5 months to add new features in R&D for the PS4.5. But if NX was unveiled at a later month like August or September but Sony plans on releasing the PS4k in November it would be difficult for Sony to make changes in such short time. Nintendi has to do what they got to do to not make the same mistake they did with Wii U. Let them do what they got to do.

              1. Ugh! I want to punch my computer screen so bad just looking at that picture! Hey, Don Mattrick! Get the fuck out of my Nintendo, damn it!

                1. LOL!

                  Deal with it, King Kalas X3! :P

                  –x–

                  “When the shades are away, Reggie is Mattrick on the way!”

                  XD

            1. |||Nintendo Dark Commander Quadraxis-NX Prime|||

              -||We need a new Lord of War, Reggienator has lost his essence and must be replaced at once||-

          2. Ocarina of Time released in November
            Windwaker released in October
            Twilight Princess released in November
            Skyward Sword released in November

            Did anyone actually believe Zelda U would release in March? Zelda is a Holiday game, always has been.

          3. How yall know by not delayingZelda U it wont reveal some info on NX to give to Sony? It’s the most gtaphical game on Wii U. All Sony is going to do is buy Zelda U and take it to their R&D and study to see howna weak console can display graphics like that then estimate how powerful the NX is. Then Rework the PS4.5

            1. That is highly believable. Sony does not want to be 1upped by Nintendo in the hardware space. If the NX is very powerful, has an improved online service and has constant 3rd party support Sony knows they could be in serious trouble

              1. Whole lotta “ifs” there, especially given Nintendo’s track record in those spaces.
                It’d be great if they pleasantly surprise everyone with the NX with great online service and 3rd party support, but I’m also not going to get my hopes up.

          4. Same exact thing they did with Pikmin 3.
            – First it was a launch title.
            – Then it was switched to launch “window”.
            – Then they pushed it to early August.

            This should not come as a surprise to anyone honestly.

          6. Pingback: The Legend of Zelda Wii U non uscirà a marzo 2017? | VG247.it

          7. unless I totally miss it but why not releasing zelda for December 2016 and have it as a launch title for the NX in March or even May 2017?

            If they are really serious about the NX launch 5 months later at best won’t kill that much the sales performance of Zelda. If the game on the wii U is a good one there is nothing to fear. Twilight princess even sell very well in UK despite being an HD remix and having both release will in fact damage the sell of the NX more than anything else if you ask. And it’s not like 80% of the wii U owner will buy the game on day one anyway.

            Stating March as a launch date is good for Japanese market so I expect the NX will be first introduce in Japan in March 2017 then by then when the E3 come they will be a lot of talk between Nintendo and the different studio as well as being ready for the launch of this console in America (June) and Europe.(September)

          8. This just shows they aren’t confident they can release it in March 2017. :/ So they change the release date to simply 2017 to cover their asses.
