I am 100% sure Zelda Wii will not come out this year

The official release date says TBA 2010, but it is already 2010 and we dont even have a single in game screenshot of the game. My guess is Q4 2011 at the earliest. Not trying to be a pessimist, but the facts dont lie.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit. It happens with every Zelda.

Spirit Tracks is my reply to that. they unveiled it, then a few months later it was releasedgarrett_duffman

Finally someone made a topic about this. I get so frustrated whenever someone lists Zelda in their anticipated 2010 lists. It's just... no.

Do you wonder if there will be a "Wii HD" and the next Zelda will be the launch game? Or is that highly unlikely, since it's rumored this new Zelda has been in development for a while, supposedly?

Not surpring at all. I mean the game barely exists. We've seen nothing yet. It might not even come out next year.

thattotally

And there may or may not be a zelda game at launch for it.

Actually no, your more like 80% sure because we have a complete lack of information both ways.

I hope it isn't out this year, if it is then Nintendo would have to rush it and every console Zelda so far has been well worth the wait :).

If they don't release the game Holiday 2010, do you think they'll wait until holiday 2011? I don't think they would release Zelda any other time of year.

after breezing through the release dates of all the Nintendo made Zelda's (CD-i obviously doesn't count) I see the majority of Zelda's have been released between the October and December. Notable exceptions are the original LoZ, LttP, and WindWaker. So if we don't see Zelda this season, we probably won't get it till 2011, which, IMO, makes it a likely candidate to be a launch game for the Super Wii.

I'll get it when it will be released. 2010 or 2011, I don't care.

BTW, New Super Mario Bros Wii disagrees. It was announced at E3 2009 and released last November.

100% sure huh. That's pretty sure. This year has still got 10 months left... alot can happen in 10 months-I hope

Nintendo has been changing their strategy up. No longer do they announce or show footage of games that will be released years from now. Look at when they announced Spirit Tracks and New Super Mario Bros. Wii!

The official release date says TBA 2010, but it is already 2010 and we dont even have a single in game screenshot of the game. My guess is Q4 2011 at the earliest. Not trying to be a pessimist, but the facts dont lie.

It has been in development for a LONG time. Longer than any wii game i can think of...close to 6 years by the time it releases. It has a good chance of making 2010. Bt it also has a good chance of 2011. But 2010 is still available. Anyway, we still have GDC and teh thing in a couple days...summit right? Nintendo has some opertunitys to show Zelda b4 E3.

I do believe Nintendo is doing their bestto release it on 2010 because Microsoft and Sony motion-controls are supposed tocome outthis year. But if the game is not playable at nextE3, surely it won't be released on 2010.

yosat

exactly

I don't see it coming out in 2010 but the way Nintendo has been acting lately, who knows. To me, Mario and Link would be competing against one another, but who knows. Maybe Nintendo would dominate hardware and software sales if it released this holiday season.

I still doubt it though

but it is already 2010 and we dont even have a single in game screenshot of the game.

I agree that it will be some time late 2011, unfortunately. But I don't think it will be that late. Probably Q3 or maybe Q2. Until then, atleast we still have Galaxy 2 and Other M to look foward to... hopefully.

100% sure huh. That's pretty sure. This year has still got 10 months left... alot can happen in 10 months-I hope

knuckl3head

I agree

I think 90% of the Nintendo fanbase agrees with you on that. The other 10% thinks it will come out in 2012. :P

Well considering that a new console will likely come out sometimebetween Q3 2011 and Q2 2012 it will likely be out in November this year or in the srping of 11. This zelda game is clearly for the wii so it has to come outat least 6 months before the new console right? And the zelda team won't wait to long to get started on the new consoles zelda game

So im guessing no ones read into the fact that this game has been im development prior to e3 in 2006...?

There are plenty of examples of nintendo being quiet until the end, look at NSMB Wii.

Its going to be 4 years since TP came out, and that is the longest gap between any zelda game already as is.

I don't mind really. Twilight Princess is still £29.35 at its cheapest and it came out 3 years and 2 months ago.

Ya, but wasn't PH delay once or twice? Also, Nintendo announced New Super Mario Bros. Wii at E3, and released in the same year. Furthermore, until September or October, we did not get anymore information about the game.We only had the trailer from E3. Therefore, maybe Nintendo has a new approach when they "officially" announce a new game. For example, they don't release any information about the game (Zelda) until it is almost complete, and I do recall that Nintendo could have made a trailer for Zelda at E3 09, but they decided not to.

Im not too sure. Mainly because not only does Nintendo have Zelda set for a 2010 release on their Japanese schedual, the holdiay season as of now is completely barren of any good releases, or Nintendo releases for that matter. Its entirely possible that Zelda will make a late Holiday season release.
