I have been wondering for a long time if we will see the next Zelda in the first part of the year 2011 as Nintendo said or on the other hand we will have to wait a bit longer...

Point one: Nintend has Donkey Kong Country Returns for this holyday season...but what to tehy have for 2011 holidays? Aparantly, nothing. Zelda is the only title that could fit that empty hole in their schedule as the big title that is able to sell Wii units.

Point two: seriously, the game shown at E3 needed a lot of polishment, they even have to create soundtrack (orchestra) (remember that they used twilight princess trailer music for Skyward Sword presentation)... 

Point three: Zelda games also suffer from at leats two or three delays... I suppose that in this time it's not gonna change.

I would like to check your point of view.


When was the last time we knew Nintendo's holiday line up before E3 of that year?

Indeed. Kirby, DK and GoldenEye were announced at E3 this year, Wii Party was revealed less than a month before it...we knew just about Epic Mickey and Zelda, which was delayed. Zelda will be launched in the first half of 2011 for sure...and the line up for Wii's last Christmas as the main Nintendo home console will be revealed at E3 2011.



CURRENTLY PLAYING: Xenoblade (Wii), Super mario 3D land (3DS), Guild Wars (PC)

When I recall that Aonuma is the director of this new Zelda my hype meter goes below cero :(

The GameCube generation, in like 2004. lol



first of all we can never say that Nintendo has nothing just because they haven't shown us what they have.
second thing, to make the graphics better does not take that long especially when they have what like 200 people working on the game?

third it was never confirmed that it would have orchestrated music and even if it is supposed to have it the music would already have been made in midi or whatever they call it so the music is there and does not need to be written from scratch. so they only need to take that and make the music.

they said this a few days after E3 so until it gets released it would have had a about 8 moths of enhancement. i read in an interview that if they used a realistic style the game would have been done by now.

I think last year there was a lot of speculation that SMG2 would be delayed to be a holiday title. I think Zelda will be 2011s SMG2,  a big title in the first half of the year. Although I do think if OoT 3D is a launch title for 3DS in March it may be a little strange to release Skyward Sword around the same time.

then I take it you haven't been a fan of the series since A Link to the Past.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

Yes.

I've been saying so for over a year, and I'm only more and more inclined to believe it's true that we won't be seeing SS release anytime before Q4 2011. Definitely.
