A New Legend of Zelda Confirmed for 2010

Quote:

You are now less than 365 days away from a new console Zelda game. Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata confirmed to Japan's Asahi Shimbun daily today that the Wii Zelda sequel, first revealed at last year's E3, will be released this year.

Iwata was pretty open for this particular interview. He also revealed that Nintendo will be announcing Vitality Sensor games in July, with an aim to release product as soon as possible (not very specific, for sure, but better than nothing!).

The DS also got a mention. Actually, make that DS 2! Iwata told the paper that a successor to the DS would require high resolution visuals and sensors for detecting player motions.

He wouldn't share a time frame for the successor's release, though, instead pointing to the DS's success in 2009. According to Iwata, 2009 was DS's best year ever in North America.

Wicked.

"sensors for detecting player motions"
As if I didn't look stupid enough on the train already

I'd sooner see a game with lots of things to do (ie 13 dungeons a la LttP and as many sidequests as MM). -CSM

DS 2? It is like they always have a few DS in line so tehy can take over a minute after the next is released.

Still great news.

PK FIRE! · 01-08-2010, 02:16 PM

I wonder if the new Wii Zelda title will ship with motion plus?

- You stupid dog.

Hey, people bought the Gameboy Color and that was just a lame upgrade. I'm not surprised they're doing it with the DS. We'll get an actual sequel system when they're certain there's a good reason to move up, and it can be done cheaply. Although, motion controls in a handheld sounds pretty awful. I still love my d-pad and face buttons plenty, anyway, and think they should offer traditional methods if they're possible.

Gameboy Color was a "just a lame upgrade"? Dude. It was color. And it had superior hardware, included infrared, and it was backward compatible; not to mention it came in lots of cool designs.

Does that huge, awesomely burgundy DSi count?

MeowMan · 01-12-2010, 08:57 PM

^DSi seems more like a hand-held version of the Wii.

Reggie Says New Wii Zelda 'Has to be Perfect'

Quote:

On the latest episode of Nintendo's self-produced Nintendo Week show (which appears every week on the Wii's Nintendo Channel... or see it right here on YouTube), Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime boldly stated that their goal for the new Wii Zelda is nothing less than perfection -- however long it takes them.

"Right now, it's still in development," Reggie said. "But the key message that Mr. [Shigeru] Miyamoto and Mr. [Eiji] Aonuma are telling us is that it really has to be perfect when it launches -- that really is what the Zelda fan is expecting." And when exactly does that mean it'll launch? Reggie was cagey.

"So for all the Zelda fans out there right now, what I would say is, enjoy Spirit Tracks, and know that the Zelda title for Wii is going to come out when it's perfect."

Well, that's reassuring. Reggie has previously stated that the game was never "committed" to 2010, but Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said recently in an interview that a 2010 release was indeed the goal. Now Reggie seems to have taken a step back once more, reverting to the vaguer "it'll be out when it's perfect" status.

But hey, at least we know that means it'll be perfect! Hopefully...

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU

WHY DO YOU TEASE ME SO, NINTENDO?!

**Valigarmander** · 01-12-2010, 10:50 PM

Tomorrow they reveal the full name for the project: The Legend of Zelda Forever.

**X-3** · 01-12-2010, 10:54 PM

That's a lot to live up to. Here's hoping they do their best.

heh · 01-13-2010, 01:08 AM

i hope "perfect" in this case means something new like majora's mask or la its been too long since one of those.
