Nintendo fans are fired up not only by the speculated high-end components rumored packed with the Nintendo NX but also by the game titles that the device will introduce or reintroduce. Among the most hotly anticipated is The Legend of Zelda and the chance is high that the game will debut with the NX, a new report said.
Originally, the latest title of the franchise or the follow up to the Skyward Sword was geared for the Wii U console. But it missed the rumored March 2015 release date that Nintendo did not confirm anyway. Zelda also skipped the E3 2015 and the Japanese game maker remains tight-lipped on when actually the unleashing is.
But what is certain, according to Tech Times, is Zelda will still come to the Wii U and it is something to look forward to. For starters, game producer Eiji Aonuma visualizes the next Zelda adventure as a new take on the open world game setting.
"I can't go into details but I'm hoping to put a surprise, or kind of a twist, on my view of an open world game. I hope that you'll look forward to it," Tech Times reported Aonuma as saying. Aonuma admitted that the upcoming Zelda treatment is likely to draw inspiration from the Skyward Sword in combination with fans feedbacks.
The final serving then is a combo of old and new things with more emphasis on the latter. "That's how we create a new element in a Zelda game. I always want to implement something new and surprising in every game," the Nintendo game producer.
But perhaps the more exciting element attached with the new Zelda title is the prospect of the game debuting with the Nintendo NX. As mentioned, while the upcoming title was originally meant for the Wii U console it is not remote that the NX unboxing will coincide with the Zelda rollout given that Nintendo is yet to provide the actual release date of both products.
The possibility cannot be ruled out that Nintendo will simply opt for a grand unpacking involving Zelda and the NX and such move is nothing new, according to a DESI Blitz report. "Some say the game may receive a dual console release on Wii U and NX - similar to the Gamecube/Wii launch of Twilight Princess," the report added.
But when is the Nintendo NX likely coming out?
DESI Blitz speculates that more details about the device, rumored to be a hybrid gaming machine with its main component a console with its controller to function too as handheld, will surface in the early months of next year, positioning the Nintendo NX for a 2016 holiday release date.
