New Zelda Wii Not ‘Committed’ to 2010 Yet
For a company that’s long been notorious for delaying their games, is it any surprise to see they’d be cagey about committing to anything so early in a project’s development? Speaking to Geoff Keighley on the latest episode of GameTrailers TV, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime was very deliberate in not setting a release timeframe for the new Legend of Zelda in development for the Wii.
“We haven’t committed to Zelda in 2010,” Reggie elusively said. Keighley clarified that Miyamoto has so far said the game is “tracking” for 2010. “That’s what he said, and we’ll see how that continues to develop,” retorted Reggie.
He did, however, reconfirm that Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid: Other M are committed to 2010, so that’s at least two big titles to look forward to next year, Wii fans. And looking more toward the immediate future, Reggie also made a bold challenge to Infinity Ward: He predicted that New Super Mario Bros. Wii will outsell Modern Warfare 2 on Xbox 360 by the end of the holiday season.
