Wave Race with jet ski??
Wave Race with M+ and Balance board capability would be pretty awesome, actually...
Other than shelf space, I think they meant in-store display space and the like. Although Zelda isn't likely, what better way to revamp the franchise and reach a wider audience than releasing new console and handheld versions at the same time with plenty of promotion? And Zelda isn't a massive FF or DQ style deal in Japan, it has been successful over there-TP was a disappointment by Miyamoto's own admission. I expect they'll want Zelda to be big across all territories, and they'll find a way to do it and maximise profit on the game. Ahem. Just keeping hope for Zelda this year alive =P I expect it in 2010, but hope for it this year.
Wave Race would work well as a 'bridge' title that would satisfy the core and bring in more casual gamers, I think. Is that a key property for Nintendo? Would it warrant more shelf space? Perhaps Nintendo aren't being honest with their vague instructions and want shelf space for more than one key property?
