@ Xxain - Haha, yeah, well, I wouldn't call it 'close to being finished' if the release date is 2010. :p Nintendo's statement about releasing info on games only a few months before they're actually released obviuosly doesn't apply to all their games. Still, I fully expect this game to make it to store shelves in 2010, just not before the holiday season. Ah, but that's just IMHO.
Man I wish they'd just reveal games a week or so before they're released, that way we wouldn't have to put up with these agonizing waits. :p
Also, I think they should at least quadruple their console-Zelda-development teams, and hand over the development of the handheld Zeldas to 3rd parties, like they did with the Oracle and Minish Cap games. That paid off well, and that way we'll get to enjoy at least 1 Zelda title a year, and probably more. =)
To avoid wandering off-topic any further, I will now go to bed. :p
