If they're doing a massive reinvention on Zelda (the second revolution - the new equivalent to OoT) then I wouldn't actually expect it until 2010. But there's still those Retro Zelda rumors...I'd expect that in 2009.

 

Expect to see it, or expect to play it?

 

'Cos I thinking 2009 is going to be Zelda Revolution's coming out party.

I think this is a good guess.

I'd be much more interested in hearing about something like Star Fox or Kid Icarus or F-Zero or PILOTWINGS than Mario or Zelda.  Of COURSE there are going to be more Mario and Zelda games!

Speaking of F-Zero, I too am a communist: X was definitely better than GX, although GX is pretty awesome.  I can't debate the rest, I haven't played them enough.

The jump from 2D to 3D was big, but will there be something similar happening in the future?

Is there such thing as 4D ?!? O.o

Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Now this would be a good time to revive my thread with the list of people I hate here on VGC.

It's this sort of kindness that I really like about Rol.

Mario

NES (1985 - 1996, 11yrs): SMB (1985), SMB2 (1986), SMB3 (1990)
SNES (1991 - 1999, 8yrs): SMW (1991), SMW2 (1996)
N64 (1996 - 2002, 6yrs): M64 (1996)
GC (2001 - 2007, 6yrs): SMS (2002)
Wii (2006 - ??): SMG (2007)

As we can see, they only put out a *main* series Mario game every 4-5 yrs. It takes awhile to make a great game and they will not put out a main series mario game that is not considered great to them. To have more than one on the same console the life of the console must last at least 8-10 years IMO. So IF the Wii is going to appear lasts until 2016 or so, as it probably will, it might see a galaxy 2 in like 2011 or they might hold off for another Mario game to launch with WiiHD in 2012.

Zelda

NES (1985 - 1996, 11yrs): LoZ (1987), Z2:AoL (1988)
SNES (1991 - 1999, 8yrs): LoZ:LttP (1992)
N64 (1996 - 2002, 6yrs): LoZ:OT (1998), LoZ:MM (2000)
GC (2001 - 2007, 6yrs): LoZ:WW (2002), LoZ:TP (2006)
Wii (2006 - ??): LoZ:TP (2006)

Zelda is slightly different. I has a new game every 2-3 yrs on average. Given that TP was actually a GC game that was altered in the last phase to be on Wii as well. Plus, it was delayed by about a year, so it shoul dhave been out in 2005 technically. I would bet we see the next Zelda for release in Winter 2009 or 2010 at the latest.

Basically with Nintendo's flagship titles we can expect one every 4 years or so depending on the lifespan of that particular console, mostly. Due to the short lives of that last two consoles from launches only one per term was really doable. Since Wii is leading the gen, we might expect 2 of each for the Wii.

I also expect an iteration of probably all of Nintendo big IP's by 2010.
