Nintendo just announced via a video that The Legend of Zelda for Wii U won't be released this year, and also won't be shown on E3 in June. All this was presented by the series producer Eiji Aonuma who says:
"In these last three months, as the team has experienced firsthand the freedom of exploration that hasn't existed in any Zelda game to date, we have discovered several new possibilities for this game. As we have worked to turn these possibilities into reality, new ideas have continued to spring forth, it now feels like we have the potential to create something that exceeds even my own expectations."
Because of this, the focus should be on quality and not be done on time, according to Aonuma:
"As I have watched our development progress, I have come to think that rather than work with meeting a specific schedule as our main objective, and releasing a game that reflects only what we can create within that scheduled time, I feel strongly that our focus should be to bring all these ideas to life in a way that will make The Legend of Zelda on Wii U the best game it can possibly be."
Therefore Aounuma and his team is "no longer making a 2015 release our number one priority".
What do you make of this? Is it true what he says, or are there plans to make an better version of the game for the recently announced next console called NX from Nintendo. As some of you surely remember, they did exactly this with The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess that was supposed to be released on Gamecube, but was delayed in order to release alongside an improved version on Wii.
