Nintendo has just made a significant announcement regarding the upcoming Zelda game for Wii U.
First, the title is no longer slated for release this year, and is now expected in 2017. It’s confirmed for NX as well in addition to Wii U. The new entry in the Zelda series will launch simultaneously on both platforms.
Nintendo said it will use the extra time to improve the quality of the project.
NX will launch around the world in March 2017, Nintendo has revealed.
That news comes straight from the Nintendo’s latest financial report. In it, the company states: “For our dedicated video game platform business, Nintendo is currently developing a gaming platform codenamed ‘NX’ with a brand-new concept. NX will be launched in March 2017 globally.”
Further details about the new system were not revealed. We’ll see if we receive any additional nuggets during the investor’s briefing later today.
