Huh, they announced Zelda: Spirit Tracks for DS. I highly doubt Nintendo will release two Zelda games in the same quarter.

Galaxy 2 is more likely, but also not very. Pikmin 3 + StarFox/F-Zero/Kid Icarus is more likely to me.

F-Zero least likely because they already have a race game this year with Excite. Furthermore Wii Sports Resort and Wii Fit Plus (if real) will be the system sellers.

 

We will not see a direct sequel to Galaxy anytime soon.  Galaxy is a great game and sold well overall but it did nothing for their home market.

 

Huh, what do you mean? Galaxy sold what. 8 million copies? That's shitloads of money right there. That's the only thing taht matters for Nintendo.

Or do you mean Japan with home market? It's close to a million, that's amazing for a console game there these days.
