re: Rumor: The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild cancelled for Wii U

Majora's Mask sucks. Windwaker was good but not nearly as good as the earlier games. I want to play twilight princess again without motion controls to see how it is.

Makes absolutely no sense in this situation.

Makes perfect sense. BotW is potentially canceled and he's saying he won't get to play it followed up by "oh well, they aren't that good since OoT anyway."

How is that not sour grapes?

Good. They need to focus all of their time and energy on making it the best game they can for the newer more powerful system.

Blah, that nVidia Shield Tablet?

This idea would have worked for me if the dock housed a dGPU. Allowing the tablet in dock mode to render games at higher resolutions/fidelity and handheld mode just using the SoC for renders at lower resolution/fidelity.

Going that route would allow Nintendo to still do their weird shtt without pushing away 3rd party developers for the 4th straight generation. But this would also require Nintendo to ignore their original goal for this to be a completely mobile console. Devs could develop the games for just the dGPU alone and have the hand held mode feature unavailable. When developing for systems with dedicated power and active cooling, power consumption and thermals are not high priority, given you are within the hardware's envelope. Now you are asking Devs to consider these things. Then to put a cherry on top, Tegra SoC do not use x86 instruction sets like those other two popular consoles. They rather emulate the instruction thus given lower performance but 1 plus on power consumption.

Nintendo speaks about how they are strengthening the partnership with third party devs. That is cute, but they need to make a box with hardware that attracts the big studios to your platform. Its obvious that this is just an Nintendo box for Nintendo games once again. I'm fine with that, just don't give me all this third party BS spill.

I don't doubt that, but you do realize, if this rumor is true the Wii U will go down with no new Zelda or Metroid game? Those are Nintendo staples for me.

They're giving up on it.

I'd argue that Windwaker was one of the best in the series until it totally went off the rails at the end with the sailing around for triforce pieces nonsense.

I haven't. I know some have but I quickly discovered how over I was many of their franchises.

Because I've been pretty consistent here about my opinions of Zelda games. This isn't a new thing. I like Zelda and I want to play it but I'm not buying a Switch to play 1 game in a series that I think peaked a long time ago.

Doesn't really change the fact that this

We'll see how it turns out but I already got a wii u for it that they promised. If they can't deliver it then frick them. The series hasn't been the same since ocarina anyway.

is like textbook sour grapes.

I got a WiiU for Zelda, but I might not be getting it. frick it. Zelda sucks now anyway.

Like literally the very definition of the phrase. If they sucked so bad why did you get a WiiU to play the new one and why are you so upset about the idea it might not happen?

I mean these two statements pretty much say that there's a good chance you won't like BotW. Is there really a need to be angry about it?

Not only that, out of 8 console releases, you seem lukewarm on 3 of them, nearly half. That's a lot of not liking Zelda for a Zelda fan.

Except the Wii U will have less than a 5 year life cycle when the Switch launches, so you're pretty much saying "frick you, buy our new shite" to all the unfortunate people who bought into your previous garbage system.

---

It is unfortunate but what do you expect Nintendo to do in this situation? The Wii U, as a money making machine, was a failure. Do they continue to pour money into something that is not selling? That's dumb.

And the system isn't garbage at all, the library is still quite awesome, regardless of the lack of serious 3rd party titles.

As an owner, please move on to the Switch and fix things, fix 3rd party relationships. That's what folks should want.
