[Debunked] Nintendo might have cancelled BOTW on Wii U

Usual caveat applies, rumour mill still, take with salt etc etc

 

A Japanese website is reporting that Nintendo have cancelled Zelda BOTW on the Wii U due to technical difficulties.

 

I'm going to post this video as the quote due to the source being in Japanese

 

Original Japanese Source - http://blog.goo.ne.jp/kojiparapa/e/0b8be29cf77f169d3cd7bd2912ea8303

 

My thoughts, I strongly doubt this is true. The source is so sketchy and Nintendo recently release a trailer for BOTW with the Wii U logo at the end of it.

 

That said I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was true, Wii U has been recently cracked wide open and people can very easily pirate pretty much every game on the system (including DLC) using Nintendo's official content servers to obtain the games, heck even online play is working.

 

Thoughts?

 

Edit

 

Turns out to be just an elaborate troll perpetrated by a guy looking to see how far he could push a fake story along the media chain...

the WiiU is the only console worth getting imo, what does a playstation or an xbox offer that i can't get on pc beyond exclusives? the controllers can easily connect with pc. WiiU makes a special type of games that isn't console locked because sony/microsoft tries to fuck you over but because they try to do new and interesting things with crazy hardware.

Nintendo wouldn't release a console without a true zelda. It would help them sell any remaining stock of wiiu as well. 

While im sure tho itll be a bit stripped down. 

 

Its not like the days of twilight princess. The wii was basically an overclocked gamegube which is why they could port it easily.

Highly likely to be fake news story. As mentioned the Wii U logo was on the trailer released recently the game engine was also built around the Wii U. Performance issues however I could sorta understand but that is more of an optimisation issue.

 

I plan to buy this game on Wii U and Switch. If the GameCube version of Twilight Princess is a sign then this game could be worth a mint in a few years.

Until they port Halo 2 to a Nintendo platform, I'm sticking with my original Xbox.
