E3 2010 may have news on DS 2 if they feel they can't top what they have/are showing off at these little events. I'm inclined to agree with Tres Tres though - you don't show your best hand in February. I'm not 100% convinced it will be Zelda Wii this Christmas though. The Wii software market is going to still be pretty big in 2011 and 2012 so they'll want to save at least two internally developed blockbusters for those Christmas periods.

They have plenty of teams for that, but honestly if it isn't Zelda then I think it'll be Retro Studios next title. I don't think they have anything that has the potential to be a breakout success available to them apart from that title. Iwata said 2010, I know he's been completely wrong before (SSB:Brawl for Wii launch etc) but I don't think they have anything else that has real flagship holiday title potential if Iwata wants it for this holiday.

Good summary. I think Wii Relax and Zelda are on for the holidays this year. But Retro's new title is also a good bet. Nintendo have shown they can announce a big title and have it out a few months later, and I expect that's what will happen this year, whether it's Zelda or something else.

Thanks for posting this!  I saw "Dotstream" and clicked the hell out of that link!  (That was one of my favorite Bit Generations games along with Orbital and SoundVoyager.)  And then I figured I might as well click on all those trailers.  Wow.  Cave Story and Photo Dojo look amazing too.
