Just before the Wii U came out, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword was released, and it achieved some success and kept the Zelda franchise afloat.
This rumor of a January showcase of the Nintendo NX seems to corroborate what Nintendo Director and President Satoru Iwata said previously.
However, astute gamers and fans of “The Legend of Zelda” appeared to have grown exhausted of the rumors about the game coming to the Wii U. Prior to the speculations that “The Legend of Zelda” will make it to the Wii U, reports say that the game on the Wii U platform will come out in the first quarter of 2016.
A report from Nintendo Enthusiast, citing an unnamed source who has been right about some things, has stated that the Nintendo NX could be making an appearance during the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) next month. The console was released back in November 2012, and has since then, sold only 10 million units, which is not a very significant number for a gaming console. With so much interest, though from the gaming community, that has to be a good sign to Nintendo.
The Nintendo NX aims to redeem Nintendo after losing support of companies such as EA, Bethesda Softworks and Activision. The company has hinted that the Nintendo NX console will be more up with the times. The next gaming device by Nintendo is said to be a hybrid of a mobile and TV-mounted console, giving it a direction that veers away from the Wii experience. If there is a confirmed release date for a game that has been delayed, the Internet explodes once the release date is given. Considering that these are the only source that can “confirm” this, for this week’s news on the long-awaited game, this might not be true. Later that year, when the Wii U was released, fans wanted to see what new Zelda game would be coming to the Wii U, but they were told that a new game wouldn’t be coming out until 2015. He added that each game has its own development team. Details in this particular patent seem to focus more on the tablet side of the console and drawing depict a much simpler form of the Wii U’s tablet.
