When I was in Gamestop yesterday, I made a comment about the price of a used copy of The Minish Cap ($20!). The clerk asked me if I had a Wii and said that the New Zelda will be released in November. BS? I think that this is a highly likelyrelease date. I guess we'll find out at E3!

P.S. Sorry if this is old news.

Iwata said Zelda would be released in Holiday 2010. Holiday usually means November since the biggest shopping day of the year is the day after Thanksgiving. The fact that Mario and Metroid are going to drop in Spring and Summer respectively suggests that Zelda will be their Holiday 2010 release.

it's coming out in 2010, they already have games scheduled for the rest of the year. holiday season seems like an obvious guess.

If it does I hope its good. Im sure it will be but I think they should take as much time as they need. I just don't want it to be rushed. I can be patient when it comes to Zelda, and I don't care how long it takes.

True, but they have had FOREVER to work on this zelda as it is basically the first Wii Zelda game to date. TP does not count lol. I will have to see how this is, and then maybe I will buy a Wii again. Zelda is such a great series.

the game's been on the works since before TP's release, so it's not a rushed release.

I do see this game being released this year. It'd be a smashing holiday title and Nintendo wouldn't want to miss out on it. The game has been in development for a long time and Nintendo has recently adopted a trend of only mentioning titles when they're pretty near to completion, so I don't expect this to be delayed.

what is with people that keep forgetting all the info nintendo gave on twilight princess before release and all the backlash they got for doing so? they don't do it with zelda only. ever since TP, they only give out info on games when they were really close to release. how much did you know about galaxy 2 three months ago? how much did you know about new super mario bros wii before E3?

Don't ever believe in random noob Gamestop employees. One guy told me FFVII would be on the DS with the GBA slot used for the FMVs! :roll: We know better than to listen to these dudes.

I'm not holding my breath, Zelda it's known for the countless delays, IMO, Zelda will be released until summer of 2011, Nintendo's holiday lineup this year will be Wii Party and a surpirse at this E3, like Kirby or Pikmin 3.

They gave out tons of info for Spirits Tracks, starting at GDC all the way up to release. It really seemed like a lot to me.

Lately, games have been coming out in NA before Japan. Examples: Spirit Tracks, SMG2. Two huge titles were released here before there. So the same could be done with Zelda Wii.

how much time between GDC and release? yep, that's right: less than a year. they show the game officially (with some trailer) about a year/a year and a half before release, and then start showering you with info the closer it gets. before, they'd announce a game 2 to 3 years before release *cough*twilightprincess*cough* and keep luring people into the hype train. once they realized this created nothing but hatred towards them (due to expectations created inside the hype train by the passengers themselves... go figure), they changed their strategy. it's been like this since 2007. remember the random out of nowhere animal crossing announcement? and what about disaster: day of crisis? sure, the last one didn't ever hit american shelves, but we had absolutely no info on it (to the point we thought it was canceled) until, out of nowhere, nintendo starts giving info on the game, only to release it 3 months later.

True, but

1) That wasn't really the topic at hand. Hardly any release dates are set in stone, but this is the one that has indeed been confirmed by nintendo and what the TC was talking about

2) Nintendo operates differently now as you have seen, so this should come as no surprise for it to hold firm in its year end release.

Iwata said the goal was to try to get it out by November. More importantly, it was stated that Zelda won't be released until the title is perfect. And of course perfect meaning that everything is exactly the way Nintendo attempts to be truly the best that it can be in a non-competitive manner of speaking.

And you can bet that if Nintendo believes that the game is not ready, then, they won't release it, is not like other developers or even other Nintendo games were they can't afford a delay, not with Zelda, not until every pixel is the color they want.

That's why i think that not even the official release date for Nintendo is a guarantee that Zelda will come out this year.

I honestly don't expect to Nintendo to have it ready by November. It would be more important for them to have Wii Party out before the holidays anyway. We'll find out at E3. Ultimately, the one thing I truly care about with Zelda Wii is the release date, and even then I predict a delay to 2011.

I really don't see how Zelda won't come out during the holiday period this year. I mean Nintendo honestly has no big first party titles currently planned for the Wiis holiday period. Metroid: Other M is releasing at the end of August in the US and that currently leaves nothing for October, November, or December. I expect at E3 Nintendo will confirm a holiday release for Zelda and/or some unannounced or unconfirmed game such as Pikmin 3. Or they might try to push that Wii Party game for a holiday release.

How is this any different than 2008? They released Smash Bros and Mario Kart early and then they didn't have much for the end of the year (except Animal Crossing which was announced at that year's E3). They've been talking about Pikmin for years so that could definitely be a holiday release. And of course, Wii Party is going to be their big holiday game even if Zelda does get released.

i was hoping also for a november release but like many of you point out..june is about to start so that means you have approximately 6 months until the "release"..that means that some info either official or unofficial such as videos, info, pictures, something must exist out here in thent, don't you think? or perhaps, it will be until summer of 2011 which is why still we got not word on what this new zelda will be.

They have been working on Zelda 2010for like 2 or 3 years now. I know many fanboys are nervous about the release due to the God of War/Legend of Zelda rivalry that has been brewing. I think the game will be ok. I am a fan of both series so time will tell.

On another note I have worked in electronic retail and if LoZ 2010 is a black friday release it will actually be on shelfs that Tuesday before Thanksgiving, but the price will drop for Friday & Saturday. That how we have done it at or store. We get the freight in that saturday and have to have it on Salesfloor by tuesday morning....most people dont touch em till that friday. Id bet based on the last two season the new Zeldas date is Tuesday before Thanksgiving. I dont have a calendar...does anyone know what date that is?

Yea right. I admire how Nintendo compete silently. In 2010 every gamer know who Nintendo wants to beat. They want GOTY. They may get it. They have studied the competition. I think the next Zelda will do fine.
