I'm just surprised they took this long to announce it.
I'm fine with it, personally. Now I won't have to buy a Wii U.

I dislike how they are releasing this while the Wii U still seems to have not had enough games yet. On the other hand it actually has been out for a while and the Wii lost some market share to PCs due to being out so long so they are probably trying to avoid that happening again

Is everything getting delayed? Is that the new thing to do to be hip in gaming culture?
I mean holy shit.

I'm seriously considering just backing everything on my Wii-U onto a usb drive and just selling the damn thing. There was honestly no point for me buying the thing.

Of course not. Delayed release is among the oldest industry traditions. Even among Nintendo this isn't new or unusual. Twilight Princess and Wind Waker alone had way worse delays than this.

Just feels like it's worse than ever lately. Maybe I just haven't been paying as much attention as I have of late.

You're not imagining things getting worse. Game budgets have gotten higher, texnology used to make them has grown more complex, and the companies making them are mostly working with the same tedious and time-consuming tools and strategies and techniques as they have for the last decade-plus. This also makes any and all retoolings of anything all the more arduous to impliment should the need for doing so ever come about.
But even taking that into account, things are still better now than ever before. If you're willing and able, you can make a game on your own about any subject you like with almost any style you like and you have plenty of distribution options to sell your game for whatever price you like all without having to put up several million to cover distribution costs. SJW's still suck, but they sucked and did just as much damage back when they were operating under right-wing "family values" platforms. Hillary Clinton and her fellow crooks and cronies forced Rockstar to pull millions of copies of GTA San Andreas from the market over a feature the game didn't even contain.
We still have many battles ahead, but we've only grown stronger with time's passage.

Games haven't gotten worse. Our memories are just more selective about the past because we mostly only remember good games in the past.

Same with anything.
The only bad stuff that's remembered is stuff so bad it warrants remembering. Shit games or movies or whatever don't get remastered or songs played on the radio or whatever so people forget them.

2017 is the 30th Anniversary of Zelda. 2016 is the 30th year since the first game's telease.
And even if it wasn't, why care? If a game's not ready in time to meet a stupid gimmick, it shouldn't be put out.

Well honestly I do think the game's finished or at least close to completion, I think Nintendo's just holding it back just so they can launch it alongside the NX version.

Of course they can't. They'd lose money that way. If they release the Wii U game first then less people will buy the NX as soon as possible. More impatient people will get the Wii U game and a Wii U if they don't have one and just wait until another first party game comes out. That or wait for a price drop.
Also, Isn't the anniversary in 2017 or something?

No the game first came out in in japan in 1986 which was 30 years ago, you're thinking of the 30th anniversary of the american release next year

That's not what "anniversary" means. It's a Latin term which replaced what would by now be called "a mindday," from the Latin words for year and turning.

You can complain till Half Life 3's confirmed, @Somari. You still can't change etymology any more than the people who still have no fucking clue what the word "ironic" means.
Nintendo could package the NX with a curse lifted from that copy of the Koran written in Saddam Hussein's blood, and it still wouldn't flop as hard as the Wii U.

It's in popular usage. If, well, when Nintendo does some sort of marketing gimmick for the Legend of Zelda franchise, they're going to use the word "Anniversary" all year round. Are you gonna write Nintendo about this?

I've seen this done plenty of times by big companies before -- i.e., Wrestlemania XXV and Namco with a couple different Tales games -- but something doesn't stop being dumb just because more people start doing it.
It's the marketing equivalent of this:
Okay, maybe nothing tops that level of retardation. But it's still close.
