No offence but Nintendo, that is fucking shocking.

I dont think bayonetta 2 is gonna have much of an impact and idk what other third party exclusives it has that matter? It needs exclusives to survive, and this new Zelda will definitely push units, I guess they just want to make sure the game itself is top quality, shame nintendo are snails with releasing the zelda games, they take alot more time to develop seemingly simpler games. They are in their own world lol.
No offence, but that is precisely what all of the competitors do as well, show games really early?
At least it isn't another Last Guardian or Final Fantasy XV - show a trailer
waaaay too early and keep their fans hanging on for years on end. At least those Nintendo games are coming out within a year, that isn't that long compared to other games first reveals. I agree that the Wii U
needs Zelda though. Wii U isn't doing as god awful as it was now due to Mario Kart sales boosting the sales a significant amount and Smash Bros. will no doubt again boost the sales once more. It's never going to be a roaring success of a console, but as long as they keep up the "quality over quantity" up then it can be another N64 for me rather than another Wii, since that's what I am after with a Nintendo console.
