SMG2 May 23rd, Metroid: Other M June 27th. Whats gonna go into Holiday 2010??? Zelda. Thats all there is to it.



Sorry if the title was misleading but I ran out of characters.

Update: Cammie Dunaway basically says Zelda will be released in 2010

Wired.com: I think people were really interested to know, are they going to release Mario and Metroid and Zelda all in one year?
Dunaway: And you said we wouldn't. You bet no, right?
Wired.com: I bet no. Are you going to hold me to that? Do I owe you a steak dinner?
Dunaway: I think you do.
Wired.com: I'm happy to lose that bet. Those are the kind of bets that I try to make.

There was never any solid reasoning behind it not coming this year in the first place other than "hurr durr Twilight Princess got delayed so this one will too uh"

Ok, now I'm about 60% convinced that Zelda will make it out this year. But I still say that Nintendo is going to show off some kind of big game for the masses more in line with NSMBWii for the holiday in addition to Zelda.

I'm sure of that. But Super Mario Galaxy 2 is one of those crossover games. It pleases both hardcore and casuals.

Well the game's been in development since 2005. A 2010 release wouldn't surprise me at all. But if it does go to 2011, that's fine because I'm going to be stacked up on wii titles to the ceiling!

Until yesterday I would have never said Zelda Wii would come out this year, but after the summit I will say that it is very likely. It seems that Pikmin 3 will be Nintendo's big title for 2011.

The only title they have like that is Mario, which is coming out in June. People refused to believe when Nintendo outright said Zelda was due this year, perhaps now, logic will set in.

If SMG and Other M were all Nintendo had they wouldn't have released them both within a month of each other. A Zelda in the second half of the year sounds more likely. So yes I agree.

Seems logical, being that both other big exclusives aren't during the holidays.

of course the other wild card is Pikmin 3, which could conceivably be shown at E3 then released for the Holidays, and I feel like that game has a casual pull

Usually there are 2 big hitters during Christmas break. I think it will be Zelda as well as some game utilizing the Wii Vitality sensor. Probably a "Wii x" franchise (e.g Wii Sports, Fit, Music etc.).

Mario should be may, Metroid August, and Zelda November. That way there is good spacing and everyone would be happy this year.

Well Nintendo really doesn't need to worry too much about that because their games have legs. Galaxy 2 is going to be in the top 10 sales chart, well into 2011. Metroid will continue to sell into 2011 and of course Zelda will as well. If their titles peaked for 5 weeks and then fell off, they would space them out more.

No way. Why would they space them out like that? I can't see Zelda releasing in NA any further way than a few days from its Japanese counterpart.

I was so sure that it would not come out this year.

...but after the announcement of those coming so soon. I really think it will be out this year. I can still see it coming next year though.

it wouldn't be that far apart for jpn to get it this holiday season and n/a get it around spring most nintendo games have around 4 month time from one region to another

I now think it could be likely since Nintendo would need a heavy hitter for the holidays.

We'll just have to wait until E3 to know for sure.

I can't see a Zelda this big and epic, this long in development taking more than a month to be released on all regions. I know Nintendo has spaced them out in the past, but we got TP before Japan did. As long as we get Zelda first in NA then its cool.

delays are unlikely. the game's been under development for some time, despite never hearing of it until last year, and they sounded very confident when they confirmed. i mean, first it was only "aimed" and then they go "it's 2010. mark my words".

This will hopefully mean that The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess will finally get a friggin price drop! £29.35 is too much for a game that launched over three years ago!

No they didn't. They have been wishy washy about it the whole time. Reggie said recently that it might not make it in 2010. There's still reason to be doubtful. So it is news, because I am stating right now it will come out, clearing up any doubt, even though there's a bunch of doubt.

To everyone who thinks that Zelda will not be released let me remind u something. TP was in development for a total of 3 years, 1 year which was the delays. The new zelda has been in development for 4 years with no delays (so far, and most likely never) 4 years is more than enough to make a video game.

Reggie never said any such thing, he made an ambiguous "Let me cover my ass statement" and people chose to interpret it like that. "Zelda will come out when its perfect" An ambiguous statement like that could mean anything from tomorrow until Sol goes supernova. The only thing Reggie ever said that could possibly be taken as a non 2010 release was when he was on GTTV and he said that they had not committed to 2010. However that aired weeks before Iwata said 2010 and who knows how long ago it was taped. Its very simple logic, they cleared Metroid and Mario, even having Mario come out before E3, so they have to focus on something at E3. Last year it was NSMB, I wonder what they have for this year *hint hint* Even though the game hasn't been formally announced, it was announced 2yrs ago. More importantly, I see people keep bringing up Japan getting it this year and everyone else months later. One, for major release, that really doesn't happen too much anymore. Two, the US has been the priority for a few years now, because Q4 is biggest in the West. Then of course Twilight Princess in the US and Europe outsold TP in Japan by a very very large margin, so when it comes to Q4 and Zelda, who do you really think is going to be the priority from a common sense standpoint?
