Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Next Zelda, when will it arrive?

@Mr. Y I was basing myself on the Retro Zelda thing, which has been cancelled, but it was probably not the main Zelda, simply a spin-off, so they are obviously in development already.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

That was just a rumor?



According to a guy at the forums of IGN, who apparently works for Nintendo, Retro was indeed working on a Zelda, but not anymore. He said that there's only 3 people in the USA who saw the real Zelda so far, 2 localization guys and 1 trailer director.

He also said he knows what Retro is working on.

2011. They're not going to let Pikmin 3, Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid: Other M compete with Zelda.



My Games of 2011:

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Super Mario 3D Land

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

Pikmin 3 development hasn't even properly started so far according to Miyamoto himself.

And if Nintendo isn't releasing Metroid and SMG2 before E3 2010 I will be fucking pissed, 2 years in a row without big releases on the first half would be pathetic.

I'd say Metroid is a Q1/Q2 game, while SMG2 a Q3 game. Zelda is the Q4 game, I'm already pissed about the fact that they have been so stupid in releasing 2 consecutive DS Zelda's and I'm not waiting 2 more years for a game that should have been ready for these Holidays.

If they show a trailer in october, then I would say there is a good chance it could release next year. If not, then I hope Q1 2011, but they will probably delay it to Q4 to get the Christmas boost.



They should be releasing some info at their conference. 2011 would be so terrible for me.

Super Mario Galaxy will be a Q2 title Tres. Miyamoto said the game will be finished this year and held back due to NSMBWii. I'm unsure what to think with Metroid: Other M but I'm thinking late 2010 along with Pikmin 3 and no Zelda until 2011.

 

Also the DS Zelda situation isn't stupid. There are two Zelda teams within the EAD Zelda group so one doesn't really effect the other. Besides They had the engine set up and Zelda Wii seems to have been slow to start.. You should really blame Wii Fit as the development of Wii Fit took 1/4 of the Zelda group, most likely all from the console team.
