We will see. Zelda's legs have been nothing compared to 'other' Nintendo games this gen.

There's also been no other Zelda game this gen on wii (bar Twilight Princes which is on course to beat OoT)

No it's not. TP Wii will never beat OOT. The combined sales of TP Wii & GameCube are close to the N64 game's sales, TP Wii isn't. Not by a long shot. It's a bit over 5 million, after 4 years. Sure it still sells, but tiny amounts. Compare that to Nintendo's real evergreen titles like Wii Fit, Mario Kart and the likes, and you can see Zelda's legs are nonexistant in comparison.

Yes, but surely a Wii-exclusive Zelda game which is heavily advertised with its graphical style and a much larger audience to deliver this game to than before could mean that SS becomes the best selling Zelda ever, no? 



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Obviously it could. Then again, it might easily not. We will have to wait and see, as we know next to nothing about the game.

I agree that it will be pushed to holidays 2011. Early 2011 is too crowded, and Nintendo would prefer to have a real heavy-hitter for holidays 2011, one last hurrah before N6

Yay finally someone who shares my opinion on this.

My thoughts exactly.

Launching Zelda in the beginning of the year wouldn't stop it from being a holiday hit.

Remember Nintendo games have legs.

Also Nintendo wouldn't mind not having such a big hit for the holidays, afterall this holidays we have DKCR, Kirby, Wii Party, GoldenEye... While good games, they're not AAA massive hitters, but still, the xmas with only this titles is okay.

I could see an early fall release. I think they will definitly wait until after E3, I am sure they will use E3 2011 to build up the hype. I am gonna say like Sep 27th or something like that. That would allow the core rush to come in, and then let the WOM carry it through CMAS.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut
