That's what I have been thinking over and over again. Zelda Wii is supposed to arrive at the end of 2010, but we all know the early state of development in which the game is, so the normal would be to think that it will be pushed back to 2011, given the fact that we have seen nothing from the game, no images, video or initial trailer.

Rumours about the next Wii are starting to appear on the net and they say that the next Nintendo console may arrive in 2011, so the same year than Zelda Wii. Will they use the game as a bridge title (the same than Twilight Princess), will move the game from Wii to Wii 2 or next Zelda will just stay on Wii, as it is supposed?

Of course, I know that in terms of graphics, GameCube and Wii are not so different, and launching Zelda on both systems was a razonable idea. But, considering Wii 2 to be on HD, it would be difficult to see a Zelda with Wii graphics on an HD system. We do not know yet the look of the Zelda title in development, but I remember Miyamoto saying at E3 2009 that they had been working mainly in controls, the graphical appearance was still in the air. Can you imagine that in E3 2010 they show a Zelda trailer with graphics in HD? Would you be shocked?

I do not think the next Wii will release 2011, nor do I think Zelda Wii will be on a next gen console. If it is on the next console, it will be a TP type of situation, meaning no HD trailer.

I want a cel shaded zelda!
On a serious note. Yes I predict its going to come in 2011. The same year as the new wii. So most likly yes it will be twlight princess all over again

I'm up for Cel shaded, but not for Windwaker style. I would probably like something similar to the last Prince of Persia game.

whats the Wii 2 going to be called...wii wii? hahahahaha

oh good god hahahaa

Right:

1. Why would the BEST SELLING console of ALL TIME have its nex gen counterpart released before PS360's?

2. Why would nintendo's most successful home consoles not have its own Zelda?

That wasn't a really good joke. It is just as bad as WiiNi* except it doesn't have an ironic catch to it.

* 'Ni' is the Japanese word for 'two'. So it would be like saying Wii 2, but instead WiiNi. Really stupid joke people make.

I don't think so, but that's mho.

I don't think we'll see the new Zelda in 2010, my guess is 2011, but I'm not buying the whole 'new Wii in 2011'-idea either. Too early. So I think the next Zelda will be a Wii-only title, something that takes full advantage of all of Wii's abilities, both in control and graphics.

If they show a Zelda trailer in HD next year, that'd be silly, 'cos by doing that Nintendo would effectively be announcing a new system. Which they won't, imho, because Wii is still going amazingly strong, burning up the sales charts week after week. They'd be stupid to just kill that off.
And while Wii is somewhat comparable to GameCube in power, the next Nintendo system is for sure going to be much more powerful. So while TP on both Wii and GCN made sense, the next Zelda on both Wii and its successor doesn't, really.

I firmly believe next zelda wont hit until mid 2011.

If it came out for a different wii, I would really feel bad, so I am hoping it will not.
