the Wii needs a Zelda in Japan more than the DS. The DS is doing great all over the world. Of course a Zelda DS won't hurt the DS sales, but this title would push the wii more than it will push the DS

Zelda doesn't do as well in Japan as it does in the West. It never has.

I wonder if it is a sequel to PH. If so, how are the trains explainable?

Come on, internet! Work!

 

Hey guys.

Let's brainstorm for some more ideas for upcoming Zeldas. I'll start.

The Legend of Zelda: Babysitters' club. You play as wind waker link and you have to babysit your sister. Eventually you'll unlock exciting new babysitting quests and go to other houses. There's no actual gameplay though since that would be daunting for new players.

Why not for Wii :(

 

Probably because console development requires many times the resources of DS development. Not really a surprise that Nintendo can churn out DS Zeldas faster than console Zeldas. Would people really prefer if Nintendo halted the work of their DS team so their WIi team can catch up?

Currently playing Phantom Hourglass and loving it.

This is pretty much it. I expect two handheld Zeldas for every console Zelda, at least in terms of resource allocation.

And yes, famousringo, you play that game. You play that game because it is good for your soul.



I just hope this is good. PH had moments of greatness sandwiched inbetween a lot of tedious crap. Let's see how ST is.

 true, but Ocarina of time sold 1.5 million in Japan, which is very good. The Wii in the West is doing great, but a good game wouldn't be too bad even there. The DS is dominating anyway, in every region, hardware and software.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

I still haven't bought PH...only played it briefly. I guess I'm behind if it's already getting a sequel.
