It's vaporware.... isn't it? ;_;
NX
NX launch title.
Probably an NX title as well as a Wii U one, and Nintendo is probably very worried about main franchise titles' reception after that Paper Mario abortion.

There a lot of shit flying their way over that one? Any more than usual for them?
>>329882380
I doubt it. Some anons are completely demented with how they think the environment on /v/ reflects anything whatsoever.
Why does it need to be 50 square miles or w/e? It's going to be Wind Waker's sea all over again
>>329882497
Yep. The whole point of a nintendo direct is for kids and normies. They aren't sitting around on online communities with a bunch of people who hate the shit out of everything. They are just watching a video on their 3DS/Wii U telling them that a new Paper Mario game is coming. They aren't seeing seething waves of hate gushing out of the assholes of a hundreds of neets, they only see the Japanese man on screen (I watch the EU presentations because I'm sick of Reggie) telling them about new games for their console/s.
That was the whole point of the Nintendo direct. A great marketing strategy if I ever saw one.
>>329882497
This time, however, /r/wiiu and /r/nintendo shit on the game as much as /v/ does.
A E S T H Eoh wait you said vaporware. Carry on.
Looking forward to the inevitable fetch quest that extends the game's life by 30 hours ;)

/v/ such a negative environment I'm surprised anyone takes anything mentioned here as reflective of anything
>>329882998
Link's Awakening's fetch quest was mandatory. That's the only thing that I had a problem with.
>>329882998
> fetch quest
> Zelda
What
Also what other kinds of quests are there besides "fetch", "kill X", and "flimsy law/chaos question"
These make up pretty much every side quest in every game I've played
>>329885215
There's the one in WW where you go find all the maps to the Triforce pieces and then go find all the Triforce pieces. That was a waste of time.
>>329885215
Big Gorons Sword in OoT was pretty much a fetch quest
If this game isn't a total reworking and modernization of Zelda's gameplay, I think they're going to have some trouble.
>>329885215
> fetch quest
> Zelda
>implying Zelda doesn't have fetch quests
Really, man?
>>329885537
It was also optional.
>>329879958
>last E3 ninny said they're going to announce their new console next E3
>suddenly, Zelda U disappears
Gee, I wonder what's gonna happen with it?
>>329885589
>they're going to have some trouble.
And by that you mean "you personally won't like it very much".
>>329879958
Considering the wait for this game, this better the the best goddamn zelda ever. If this fails, I'm done with Nintendo

>b-bu-but its optional!
doesnt change it from being a fetch quest and you shouldnt dismiss it just because its optional.
>>329879958
No. Its just bullshot though.
>>329885912
It's not moving the goalpost, it's being aware of the rest of the argument. The Big Goron Sword quest doesn't "extend the game's life by 30 hours" if you don't do it, and you can finish the game without even being aware of its existence. It's a rightfully lengthy and convoluted process to obtain an overpowered weapon.
It'll probably release on both like TP. At least Zelda fans know that it's being worked on.Animal Crossing U never ever
>>329885913
>prerelease footage is enhanced
no shit

Trade sequence
>>329882730
Do kids and normies watch Nintendo Directs? I feel like the only people that know about then are people who already own Wii U/3ds.
>>329879958
See those mountains over there?
>>329879958
Most main Zelda games enter development hell, just be patient for fucks sake.
>>329885215
Pretty much the entirety of majoras mask is fetch quests. They're just handled very well
>>329885913
All prerelease stuff gets visual increases to make the game more pretty so graphicsfags will want to pre order it
Look at the witcher 3, uncharted series, dark souls 2, aliens colonial marines, and likely much more
Everyone does it
>>329887359
this and the game isn't yet optimized for consumer hardware yet (DS2)
Was there a single large francshise release for the Wii U? All I can think of is that New SMB and Bayo 2. Nintendo is dying within the NX generation because they not going to build onto franchises, just rehash them and sell HD remakes for a game that was available on the generation right before it.
>>329888092
Smash bros
Mario stuff
Pikmin
Splatoon will probably end up being turned into a franchise
Xenoblade chronicles X
>>329888194
Dont know how I forgot Smash, literally played it 3 hours ago. Only thing for Mario Id say is worth mentioning is Super Mario Maker. The Pikmin release was short and not great. Splatoon maybe becoming a franchise in the future doesnt constitute adding to a franchise. Xenoblade X is actually pretty neat all around. I still think the Wii U was mostly untapped. Im pretty dissapointed.
>>329886564
This is how I feel. Kids and normies play on their phones and their Xbox Ones and PS4s.
