2) Zelda U
The third wheel of the console war is Nintendo. They need positive press, and they need it soon. The Wii U is rapidly fading from the minds of gamers, ostensibly because it’s just not getting any original, must-have titles. Don’t get me wrong, it’s had more than a handful of solid releases, but nothing that would make anyone sitting on the fence jump down with their wallet open. What could change all that? A new Zelda game.
Will it happen? As far as we know, probably. What are the clues that led us to this wild speculation? Well, basically that long-time Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma has basically said so. When asked in an interview about the possibility of an original Wii U Zelda game, he stated, “I’ll say more at E3 2014.”
Now, obviously, this is incredibly vague, and could mean he’s just waiting to say that it’s not actually happening yet – A Link Between Worlds is barely six months old, after all – but it seems unlikely. I imagine Nintendo would bribe him with solid gold Ferrari if he had any thoughts of taking his time. They really, really need this game to happen soon.
