No Zelda? Really Nintendo?

So we get 2 back to back DS Zelda's, 2 Mario Galaxy's and countless other mario themed games but all we get is a Gamecube Zelda on Wii that came out at launch? Didn't Miyamoto confirm Zelda Wii to the press after last years E3 conference? Nintendo is not handling that franchise well IMO.

Just because people on the wii boards said they were expecting zelda doesn't mean it was going to happen.

I think it makes sense. Why take away from the DSi Zelda when you can showcase a new Metroid, made by Team Ninja! Also, having a New Super Mario Bros and Super Mario Galaxy 2 coming out for the Wii is more than enough this year. IMO, keep on keepin' on Nintendo... etmaul

Agreed, look so far it has been fairly well documented that a new Zelda is in the works. Potentially early work was done by Retro and the regular team has taken it over. It is surprising enough they annouced two distinctly similar Mario games, so they certainly did not want to steal Spirit Tracks thunder. What do we have left TGS? If nothing by then, get worried.

mario could have used just one game imo, two is just too much for me...

the new metroid could be interesting, of course nintendo will follow it closely, so it should be good... I don't like the new look of Samus though, she looks like an Asian blonde which just looks odd imo considering IRL they are fake blondes... so I prefer the more "anime" look

anyway, after hearing Nintendo's post-e3 event, I hope they release something else like Zelda or 'teh kid'... id REALLY like to hear how all the Zelda stories fit together

watching the sony stuff, its not that much better... i SERIOUSLY dont know why they get game developers on there, i have much better public speaking skills then most of the guys there, seriously, why do they need lead developers on there? their not helping me in whether or not they are selling me the product, they are just worsing it for me

Its not that anyone is worried... it will come out. The problem to me is that there should have been one already and then maybe we would be hoping to see one that comes out before the end of the Wii cycle. Zelda is one of those titles that sells the console. It is EPIC in sales. That's just my opinion. Maybe later at E3 or at TGS or something else... but I can't help but feel majorly disappointed at the moment. Oh well back to watching Old Republic trailer again.

pretty much, every console needs a main zelda, the last one hardly counted...

either way, looking at sony now... they are trying to sell it to teenage girls and what do they say??? "oh, we are trying to sell to a younger more female audience by making packages for them"... seriously, do they think that is going to sell more PSPs by saying it that way and making it so obvious? lol

Guys just be quiet about the dang no Zelda thing! my god they just showed some really good games on the conference (Kingdom hearts and final fantasy? New SMG:2 and an awesome looking metroid game and more) Man ain't that good enough?! Man I really feel bad for nintendo B/C people want and then they don't want...man spoiled little people in the forums!

how long right? I pretty sure iv'e waited long enough in fact i've waited TOO long

haha spoiled?? WooooooW, i hate it when ppl defend nintendo even when nintendo totally let down again, seriously, they new everyone expected a new zelda to be announced and didn't show anything? what mario galaxy was just released last freakin year! Haha so this is what goes through nintendos mind"

GUY 1--Hey um we haven't made a mario game in like 1 year, yeah yeah, lets do Mario Galaxy 2

GUY 2-- Yeah, but don't you think maybe we should show Zelda because i think maybe ppl are expecting it and everything,

GUY 1-- haha yeah, like anyone would want to see the new Zelda Wii, hahahaha

GUY 2-- No, No Ppl really want the new Zelda

GUY 1-- No, No...No, Mario Galaxy 2, no new zelda haha

WOW NINTENDO, that really all i can say....................................

They didn't show it, so too bad for those actually expecting Nintendo to show something, they obviously have their reasons to not reveal it yet.

Were coming up on two years since Mario Galaxy and will probably hit 3 before Galaxy 2 comes out, Nintendo should just announce to stop peoples whining because its getting old, they can just say Zelda: some mock up name and the babies can have their bottle. Sepewrath

So people are babies since they are expressing their disappointment at still no mention of Zelda Wii. Why worry about reading the thread if you are tired of people "whining" about it. If it is that bothersome, don't waste your time reading the posts. Seems to me most people are just expressing their disappointment in a decent manner. Next time I we should simply send an email to a carefully chosen few, to expressour disappointment. (sarcasm) Have a nice day.(not sarcasm)

i actually expected them not to show it as soon as Spirit Tracks was unveiled. Do i want another DS Zelda? Hell yeah, thats not my beef. Zelda Wii is way way overdue and saying they announced all these other games instead doesn't void that fact. We are the customers and expecting a certain level of service(within reason) isn't an outlandish concept to me. I just don't see that as being spoiled.

Haha again i find it ridiculus that ppl think nintendo is fine for not showing zelda,Last yearfine give them a break, butthey can put together a mario galaxy 2 trailer when mario galaxy came out like last november, and yet nintendo can't show a little trailer or some screen shots, for the second straight year, they have let down aLOT of ppl, they have hadMORE THAN ENOUGH TIME to get ready for this years E3 and they couldn't deliver, and of course nintendo knew ppl were disapointed with last years E3, and i cannot believe zelda was not announced,

how dare people have different opinions than you, am I right :lol:

dude they are making a new Zelda for DS, and we all know they are making another one for Wii... relax

Rather than complaining about the one thing you don't have, why not look forward to the dozen-some games that will be released in the near future?

Every time Nintendo makes something, dedicated fans do nothing but lament that it wasn't their one single pet desired game. It's little wonder why Nintendo decided that there were greener pastures elsewhere.

Because everyone at Nintendo gets on to the forums and just feels so bad about themselves when they see the complaining? I don't think people whining had much to do with expanding the audience at all, but that's just me.Arc2012

I was being facetious in my suggestion that the complaining of hardcore fans was the prime impetus for Nintendo's expanding the audience, but you have to admit that the so-called "casual gamers" sure seem to be an awful lot happier than the "hardcore gamers". Makes me wonder who's really got the right idea here: the people who happily enjoy what they've got, or the people whocomplain endlessly about what they don't.

If there's anyhting I've learned from today, is that Nintendo was right when they said they could never sastify the core gamers. The only thing I wanted from this conference were Star Fox and Custom Robo announcements for the Wii. Did I get those? No, but looking at the new games announced, how could I be mad, especially with the 3rd party support we're getting in addition to Nintendo's stuff. I swear, if Nintendo had shown Zelda, people would be *****ing about how they didn't have any new IPs (which isn't true anyway, they've got a new RPG for the Wii and DS each which were never shown before, but they weren't shown at the conference).

Botom line: Get over it. It's coming, just not now. If Galaxy 2, the new Metroid, Golden Sun 3, and everything else can't make you happy, you need to look into another hobby.

I am so disgusted with the gamespot community right now. Everyone who honestly expected a new Wii Zelda was out of their minds, and did you guys even watch the trailers?! Galaxy 2 already looks like the greatest platformer ever, and Metroid Other M looks like....to be quite honest I can't even describe its awsomeness. Not to mention a new side-scrolling Mario game, and some mind-blowing footage of Silent Hill: SM. Why can't you people just be happy? Why must you be so ignorant?!

No. I'm not going to let this ruin my day. I for one am excited to the point of numbness.

What I wanted: F-Zero and Star Fox. Did I get it? No. Am I haveing a heart attack over it? No. They will come sooner or later, just like Punchout showed up again after all these years.

Nintendo can't keep everybody happy all at once.... get over yourself and realize that "your game" might not be what they are working on right now.

OH my gosh. Well fine I am sorry that i feel a Zelda game is overdue for a showing and that I was surprised it wasn't at the press conference. Who the heck says they aren't happy about the other games. Though Metroid isn't for me, cool it is getting its 2nd game. Mario 2 is fine. blah blah. THIS thread was about no Zelda Wii at the press conference, it was NOT about all the other games that were present. Those are in OTHER threads. What the heck is wrong with caliing a company out when they make a misstep in your view? Dear lord I know you guys are not Nintendo fanboys but when you can't allow for criticism of a company, that is exactly how it comes across.

Swich it: IF Metroid still didn't have a Wii versionbut we were on the 2nd zelda, 2nd MArio, 2nd starfox and there was no mention at the big E3 press conference about it... I don't thinkI would be telling the Metroid fans to stop whining like babies and be happy that those other games are out there, or go get the 2nd Metroid for the DS.

some mind-blowing footage of Silent Hill: SM.

Riiiiight, Nintendo only showed two core games because they can't satisfy the core.... two games... yet Sony and Microsoft were out there showing seven or eightreally good lookinggames one right after another. There is a reason Nintendo core is not satisfied, it's called Nintendo delivering appetizers, when everyone else is delivering full course meals.

See, here's the thing that I don't get about this whole "we want Zelda" thing: we already know that the next Zelda is in development. They've said so themselves. It will be done when it's done; whether or not they show it at E3 does not affect its ultimate release date one bit. I can understand complaints about franchises like Star Fox and F-Zero much more, because we don't even know they're making anything there, but Zelda? Do people think they lied, or what? I don't understand the whole "if I see a trailer I'll be satisfied" mentality - you can't exactly play a trailer.

Zelda flopped in japan! a new mario galaxy is more logical
