According to the article, rumours suggest it could be Zelda! Retailers have been told to reserve shelf space in America, apparently. I'm not sure what rumours suggest it could be Zelda, and as a European gamer I'm not sure if it'll be a worldwide release this year, whatever it is. Hopefully Nintendo will soon be telling Euro retailers to reserve space too. "Key property" seems to suggest it is an existing franchise... 'Key' in particular suggests to me it won't be a revival of Kid Icarus or anything like that. Thoughts?

I'll believe this is the next Zelda when I play it!

(I don't think this has been posted, feel free to lock if it is)

Since it doesn't specifically say "Wii", I'm going to assume that this is for Spirit Tracks.

Wii Fit Plus

It could be a large number of things.. I find it hard to believe it's Spirit Tracks though.. I would have liked to know how much shelf space Nintendo advised, a large amount could imply that Wii Fit Plus is the real deal, if it wasn't a huge amount it could just be Pikmin 3 or something along those lines.. Super Paper Mario 2? I wish :P

Key Franchise

Zelda has keys in it!

The guy interviewed says Nintendo won't clarify what it is-with Spirit Tracks already announced, I don't think that's a likely option. Reserving shelf space to me suggests it's one of Nintendo's bigger core franchises, most likely Zelda, or the rumoured Wii Fit Plus. The earliest we'll know is E3.

I thought Wii Fit plus was a joke, not a rumour

It appeared on some retail lists as a November release. I wouldn't want it to be the sole key release for this Christmas, but if it came along with Zelda Wii or something similar I'd be happy.

hope it's that "Let's Tap" crap.... a lot of shelf space for that thing.

It's not Zelda :P Not this year.. Spirit Tracks maybe but that's not gonna take up a heap of space that Nintendo would have to tell stores 8 months in advance to save space for.
