In any case, the sooner the game arrives, the better. The Wii U has been in need of a new major exclusive title for some time now, as the console is already on shaky grounds in the market and it needs some serious support from its fans.
On the other hand, those fans are feeling less and less inclined to provide that support when they see other platforms offering them so much more from various studios. In the end, the Wii U isn’t going anywhere anytime soon and the console will likely stay relevant for a while, but it won’t last forever if Nintendo don’t pick up the pace with their games.
It’s true that the Wii U still has some strong potential left in it and it would be disappointing to see Nintendo undermining the console’s popularity with delayed releases, but the studio is one of the most experienced companies on the market and we trust that they know what they’re doing.
The only thing we’ve heard from them regarding the delay is that they’re trying to fully utilize everything that the Wii U offers to them, but they haven’t gone into any specific details regarding what kinds of improvements we can expect to see as a result of this delay.
