"Zelda: Breath of the Wild" is one of the titles confirmed to release on the Nintendo NX. Scott Moffitt, executive vice-president of Nintendo of America, recently shared why the game will be an integral selling point for the next-generation system.
"Zelda: Breath of the Wild" has long been in development and is said to finally release in 2017 on the new Nintendo NX and Wii U. According to Moffitt, the game is among the titles that they are currently working on for NX, and they are very excited that it will be a quick and good reason for game fans to purchase the hardware. He added that it is vital to include the right content since software can drive hardware.
In an interview with The Street, Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick said that they are closely watching the development of the Nintendo NX, as well as its upcoming titles. This means that aside from "Zelda: Breath of the Wild," Take-Two may also be introducing new titles for the console when it releases.
Financial Post cited Moffitt in saying that they are also developing Nintendo NX to have a clear position for their proposition and to explain it to consumers in a simple and easy manner. Also, they have to present all the things that make Nintendo great. When they introduce a title, they have to ensure that it has exceptional quality, an immersive experience and fun.
They can deliver what they want by staying true to those traits, which is most likely their objective in building "Zelda: Breath of the Wild." Moffitt also mentioned that they are also being mindful of third-party developers and content to improve their systems.
Moffitt said that avid gamers will find "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" as one of the games that they must play. It is a new high point for the franchise that provides players with incredible freedom. According to Moffitt, many gamers will find that their gaming collection will not be complete without the Nintendo NX and action-adventure game. The new game will be released at the same for both consoles. He also revealed there will only be a limited number of Wii U to release in 2016, as they transition to NX, so fans should acquire the older model while they still can.
More details on the Nintendo NX and "Zelda: Breath of the Wild" are expected soon.
