| trestres said: The DS Zelda game seems more like a quick way to capitalize on the audience before DS2 arrives and it's too late. Zelda TP was ready by early 2006 but got delayed to late 2006 to launch along the Wii. 6 years is an enormity for any game. 5 years is already more than enough, and the fact that 2 Wii Fits and 2 DS Zelda's got released in between is outrageous since both used up people that should have been working in a Wii Zelda. Nintendo knows there's a lot of people waiting for a proper Zelda game, since TP left a sour taste being just a GC port. I'm saying that for their own sake and image they should be releasing Zelda Wii as the big holiday 2010 title. If 2 Mario Galaxy's can be released in less than 3 years I can't see how a Zelda can take up more than 6 years to make. |
The bolded is untrue and I suggest you read the Iwata asks interview with the Zelda team. They needed the extra year either way. They were given the extra year before they were told to make a Wii version as well.
Besides, Super Mario Galaxy has had many years of development time with Miyamoto kicking around ideas since before Super Mario Sunshine. I'm going to assume that Zelda Wii has taken so long because of the time needed to come up with ideas. Super Mario Galaxy 2 has the engine, gameplay and controls all done and so only new levels are needed for it.
