Zelda won't have much bearing on hardware sales as I'm sure most people who want it already own a Wii.
Pikmin 3 will be their big holiday release and I think it'll end up being a defining Wii game. It'll be another bridge title ala Mario Kart Wii.
I'm also thinking that Kid Icarus will make it out this year, if it isn't revealed at E3 this year then it'll be safe to assume that it's vaporware..
I would have also said F-Zero however ExciteBots is coming out this year and I think that eliminates the need for another racer even though they would be very different styles.
I'm think the Nintendo release list for the 2nd half of 2009 will look something like:
- Sin & Punishment 2
- Mario Party 9 OR WarioWare (I'm betting on Party due to sales)
- Kirby: Legend of the Stars
- Kid Icarus
- Pikmin 3
- Wii Series Title
We may see games like Retro Studios new title and Paper Mario etc.. Zelda is a 2010 game. Hopefully early 2010!
