Zelda Wii Release: Too Good to Be True?

News on IGN says that Nintendo has confirmed Zelda Wii's release this year! http://wii.ign.com/articles/105/1058479p1.html

Is this news too good to be true and will it be delayed, or will all the zelda fans get there hands on the newest addition to the series in 2010?

Post your thoughts

Really? cause it is a new article on IGN. but ya i have heard rumours that zelda wii will be released in October, but it wasnt confirmed.

Yeah, I remember reading the news for the new Zelda Wii way back since last year. We haven't seen any screenshots/trailers but again, Nintendo is very secretive when it comes to releases of zelda titles. Remember the TP release? It was shown a couple of months before the release, rumors were floating around but until we saw something concrete from Nintendo we knew it was coming. Probably same thing for this title perhaps?? I see it coming the end of this year..with news around june or july on its official release....

Every thing you said is very true. Nintendo did schedule their E3 show in June, which is when i hope to see more news about this game, at leasta title perhaps? The title alone will give us more info about the story line of the game, and keep us guessing along with that picture they showed last E3. Either way, i hope this game is perfect, and is not rushed at all, because it could be released this year, we could be very happy for the early release, but then, the game could be terrible because it was rushed, so... either way, im not too worried when it will be releaed.

Oh believe me it could have released in January and it wouldn't have been labeled as "rushed"

dont get your hopes up fellas. they still havent posted any screenshots / videos of the game.

i am guessing Q4 '11

Completely irrelevant. NSMBW was announced ~ half a year pre release.

Everyone had basically already seen the gameplay for NSMBWii. As far as Zelda's concerned, November '10 release in Nintendo-time means a June '11 release in real-time. And that's if we're lucky. But if it needs to be held for them to get it perfect, so be it.

I'm not saying it's coming out this year. I'm just saying that the period analogy of announcement to release is irrelevant when it comes to Nintendo these days.

He's basically just complaining that we haven't seen any trailers yet. There's no need for that.

Why do ppl think this zelda is being rushed?

This is the longest time they have ever taken to make a new zelda from what I remember with the other ones!

Imo this game could/should have come out a year ago and it would have been fine.

If they delay it at this point it will piss me off because it will most likely have nothing to do with improving the game in any big way, most likely it will have to do with them delaying and porting it to a new console, same bs they pulled with TLP!

The article you posted is dated January 6th. It's definatly old news.

What's this? Sin and Punishment 2, Mario galaxy and metroid other m all coming out in may and june?!?! OMG Zelda 2010 confirmed!!! This just in: s&p 2 will be delayed, as will metroid other m. OMG Zelda Wii may not be 2010!!! *sigh* That pretty much sums that up.wiifan001

Well from the sounds of it those games were moved towards the holiday season which makes sense, I'm sure if Zelda wii was slated for like july or something they would push it back a few months to get a holiday release but that isn't the case as zelda wii was slated for the holiday season from the begining...

wow i never new any of this actually, i thought they just started working on it in like 2009. and i was surprised by the article i posted here because i thought they had barely even worked on it. and about the rushing, everyone is basically worried(including me) because its been a very long time since a zelda game was released and everyone wants this game to be awesome, nobody wants this game to come out and suck or dissapoint the standards that they were expecting to see in the game.

Inan interview with shigeru miyamoto, he mentions that he is trying to bring in the"casual" crowedof gamers and make them interestd in playing the next zelda. this means that the difficulty or the game itself might change so dramaticly and ruin it for all of the hardcore zelda fans.

this random guy on youtube talks about the new zedla and most of his rumours/news actually make sence: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=earthbounding&annotation_id=annotation_530659&feature=iv#p/a

and that sums up my point, i was surprised by what i thought was an early release date for the game and i am worried how the game will turn out to be in the end.

Theirs no doubt in my mind that their gonna try to go after the casual gamer more this time around with Zelda.

Hopefully thats not the main focus of the new Zelda and the motivation for the "changes" they are making!

i hope it isnt the main focus of the game. but the question is, if they were to apeal to the "casual" how will they do it? will the game altogether be easier with easy controlsand simple puzzles, or will there be something like a super guide in dungeons?

Definetly a super guide. I remember like a year ago they patented a super guide thing for a zelda game. It worked kinda like a dvd scene selection menu where it showed how to solve all the puzzles and stuff.

I just hope the over world doesn't suffer for the sake of casualizing the game like what they did to the hub world in SMG 2...

That would seriously suck!

well actually, i wouldnt be too worried about super guides as long as the game itself doesnt change in difficulty, you can avoid using the super guide altogether anyway. so if nintendo keeps the game difficulty the way its supposed to beand adds the super guide, i wont mind at all. in NSMB wii i never used the super guide, heck i dont even know how to. same with SMG2, i will just avoid using it anyway and get the stars myself. What im worried about is if they will actually change the zelda engine itself for the casuals. that would be enough to make me leave nintendo for good, as soon as they ruin one of their most respected franchises im leaving. anyway im still looking forward to the next zelda with great anticipation

Please dont let us down Shigeru Miyamoto....

Yeah, I wasn't saying anything against the super guide, I'm just saying its most likely gonna have it.

And yeah, if they mess with the zelda formula for the sake of casualizing it than Ninty will have a whooole lot more gamers than just you to answer to ;)

A lot of people put out the idea that because Metroid was delayed until August that Zelda would be pushed back too, and I agree with their logic, but I still believe that there is a chance for Zelda to make it out this year as pushing Zelda to 2011 would leave the holiday season pretty mush empty for the wii unless nintendo released a game that we have not been told about yet, and lets face it, it is unlikely that an other nintendo game would sell as many systems and games as a new Zelda would.ekalbtwin

I hope you're right.

old news... it says "jan 6th" there... and it IS coming this year. sheesh...BrunoBRS

i didnt notice it was old news, my bad, and if it really is coming out this year then great.

Ninty will probably wait for the Wii HD for a simultaneous release ;)

Zelda Wii is coming out this year. Miyamoto has siad around October or November. I keep saying this but ill say it one more time. Zelda TP was planned to take 2 years then they delayed it 1 year. Zelda Wii has been in development since TP's release which is 4 years. Thats more than enough to make a Zelda game. It will NOT be delayed. There is no reason to delay it at this point. People think it will be delayed because of what happened with TP but they forget that Zelda Wii has had a longer development time. For all we know it could have been in development for 5 years. They could have started planning before Zelda TP was even released (no actual development of course). It will be released around that time with no delay.
