"Declared dead"? Maybe we've just seen different bubbles, but I've seen nothing but excitement for the switch. They have something like 100 titles from 75 different dev studios lined up for the first year. Obviously the Wii U died on the vine, but that was due to some terrible limitations and lack of 3rd party support, or so I am lead to believe. What makes you think the switch needs saving? It isn't even out yet...

It sounds like they're referring to the Wii U; they're suggesting (correctly, arguably) that the Wii U is essentially dead now, and that no one will buy the Wii U just for Zelda. If anything, people will instead buy the Switch, hence their point about Zelda "saving the Switch" (although from what, I'm not sure, since it does have over a hundred games confirmed).

>> no one will buy the Wii U just for Zelda.

If people are willing to buy a Switch just for Zelda, I'm sure people who don't have enough money for a Switch would be willing to buy a used or refurb Wii U on the cheap to be able to play Zelda.

New console release is a great opportunity to pick up the old one plus a ton of games on the über-cheap. I've been waiting for the Switch release for that reason, and now I get to play Zelda now instead of when the Switch 2 comes out. ;)

I think they meant no one will be buying a Wii U for Zelda, not the Switch.
